I complained and they got me a new one for the same price hah.

Oh yeah, I remember reading a thread you posted about that 2:90.

I wish I could find gear that cheap. Over here in Europe a new Triaxis would be e2699 which is about $3500. A little bit more than you payed for yours, eh?

The Pod XT Live I just bought would work out around $600, and that's the cheapest I could find it locally.

Ah man, give it another week at least before you change rigs again.

zimbloth · 09-04-2006, 07:26 PM

Yeah, they cost $1699.99 new I here I think. Finding one mint for $750 was very lucky.

Shannon: Go for it, I havent checked out those clips yet but everything Ive heard from ENGL so far has been sweet.

What are Celestion v60s? http://rocksolidamps.com/description...424.63.200.120

They're cheaper budget speakers that Celestion make. They sound really scooped. Avoid.

Having heard both, I'd agree - the Fireball was definitely "rawer", kinda like the nastiest Marshall tone you've ever heard, whereas the Powerball is a "modern" sounding amp - tighter and more in Mesa territory, if that makes any sense.

Hmm, I wouldn't make any comparisons with Marshall. I'd say both 'balls are in Mesa territory, just that the Fireball has more 'Bite' to it. I'd far sooner make comparisons with a Recto or 5150, it's that kinda ball park.

i hope you keep this one nick, you've got the amp i'm lusting after

Nick1 · 09-04-2006, 10:34 PM

There is an ENGL dealer abour 1 hour from me. He has a ton from the ENGL line. I actually bought the E530 preamp but sold it within 6 months. It had the best lead tone ever! But wasnt gainy enough for my metal needs. I need to go back and try out the other amps this time.

7slinger · 09-04-2006, 11:21 PM

nice score, full report please

Brord · 09-05-2006, 03:59 AM
