I definitely think the ENGL sounds better than the TriAxis. I have never been happier. I just sold my TriAxis/2:90 and got an ENGL and I have zero regrets.

Donnie · 09-13-2006, 04:19 AM

Ok, enough with all the Engl talk! It's making me want to get one and I don't even need one! I'm not in a band anymore.

I will say that from the sound samples, the Engl Powerball model on my Line 6 PodXT Live is closer to the Savage than the Powerball(but with more gain), hence, I want a Savage 120 and I'm out of things to sell(other than my house).

Bastards.

zimbloth · 09-13-2006, 04:22 AM

You'd be surprised how good the Fireball sounds at low volumes as well as stadium levels. I understand you don't need an expensive amp if youre not in a band, but it's good to know that it DOES sound pretty badass at bedroom levels too. Well, not badass compared to it cranked, but badass for a tube head.

Donnie · 09-13-2006, 04:25 AM

Well, if I ever do the whole playing live thing again, I will be looking into an Engl.

I almost bought a Fireball before I grabbed the 5150 but decided to save a few bucks.

Probably a dumb idea.

zimbloth · 09-13-2006, 04:30 AM

Yeah, the 5150 is a great amp, but the Fireball is like 100x tighter, more musical, and just overall amazing. I just got done from a long night w/ the band, so I'm still pumped up from the ENGL's tone. I almost felt bad powering it down when we were finished. Like abandoning your child in a train station or something.

I got my Fireball for $899 btw, not exactly 5150 money... but it's by no means expensive.

Donnie · 09-13-2006, 04:40 AM

I was totally willing to pay the $1199 that www.rocksolidamps.com has them for. $899 is a stellar price!

Engl is the new black.

Yep, I believe that is exactly what the guys in Scar Symmetry do...and I LOVE their tones on Symmetric in Design and Pitch Black Progress. And damn... who would have thought that the lead tones from Symmetric in Design were from a friggin VAMP2!??!?

Of course, not a fuggin one to be seen anywhere near Texas or Ohio where I am headed for Christmas. Friggin conspiracy. I just don't get it. You can buy an Engl in the middle of the pig-fuggers in Alabama... but not in Houston or Dallas or Austin. For Christ sake, Cleveland has the rock and roll hall of fame and you can't even find one there!
ARGH!

Later,
Jeff

How does the power stand on those? 60 mesa watts is like 120 Peavey watts lol. Is the 60 watts comparable to how a mesa is voiced?

a dealer in Louisville is getting one, i'll be going down there to check it out...but i asked about trading my mesa and he said no :/...suck

SOMEONE BUY MY NOMAD!!!
