lotsa knobs

Very nice ENGL there. Yah I like the simplicity of my Fireball. We are a metal band so all the versatility I need is there. Can roll back the volume a bit to get a more classic rock feel if I want.

smith10210 · 09-05-2006, 11:19 PM

I,ve always wanted to try the fireball and blackmore the SE is to much $. Should have bought the fireball instead of the powerball. Yea there is alot 2 master volumes 2 effects loops 4 channels mid contour, depth boosts and more. I basically play the 4th channel. I wish Engl would make a 2 channel savage with a decent noise suppressor. Cant wait until the invader comes out especially the 50 watter...Now i,m just trying to find a cab that I like...

My Boss NS-2 pedal kills all the noise/feedback there is without affecting the tone at all, so it's all good. I do think its cool the PBall has a built in gate tho.

When I was looking for new amps for my lead guitarist, we came across a dealer in MI for ENGL, but he no longer carried them because he didn't like the way the amps were made anymore. He said he thought they should have worked on cleaning up the amp rather than adding a noise gate as a band-aid.

My Fireball has no noisegate and its really not that noisy. The Triaxis is 1000000000000000000x noisier. The TriAxis I needed both the NS-2 in front of the amp for the feedback and noise, and the G-Major noisegate in the loop for the hum. All I really need for the Fireball is the NS2. I'm not saying the ENGL is better than the Triaxis, just that the ENGL isnt that noisy really, which is cool.

Sorry, I get pwned everytime I mention Madison due to their build quality so I had to retaliate. Couldn't help myself. That is the inside of a fireball.

And here's their output transformer compared to a 50 watt Marshall transformer:

That said I could give a rats ass. It's not what's inside that counts, it's the tone. I'm very happy that Zimbloth digs this amp so much

. Though I have to say that for the price of some of their amps I do believe they could take a bit more time in doing a neat job of building them. At the price zimbloth got it for though, fawk it! Nice score bro!

Yeah I hear ya, tone is all that matters.
