ENGL Fireball

Been doing some online research about this amp. It seems it might just fit the bill I am looking for. Only thing i am unsure about is the fact that both channels share a gain control. I have a question for the people who have one or have played through one. Can you get a nice clean tone and still have balls-out distortion with the Fireball? Or does higher gain settings adversely effect the amps clean tone. I dont want another situation where i would need a second amp for cleans...(Laney AOR 100 Head)

I have one. IMO the gain channel has so much gain that you don't have to turn it up very much and it still leaves the clean channel very clean.

I have one and you can definitely get really nice clean tones while still having it set for brutal distortion. Its footswitchable, and especially if you switch to a neck or split pickup setting (or just roll down the volume a tad), its super clean. I dont really like how powerful bridge humbucker pickups sound on clean thru tube amps though.
