Question:
Hi guys,
I finally got my new amp: an Engl Fireball
Last night I sat down with it, and recorded a couple of short clips. The quality isn't great as I was recording using a PC microphone, and be warned - I'm not the greatest guitarist on earth:
Engl Fireball - Clean
Engl Fireball Gain channel (Rose of Sharyn)
And here's some happy snaps of my amp:
I'm pretty happy with it
Nathan.
Answer:
Looks very nice, i hope you enjoy it greatly
Answer:
it's good to see an ENGL owner on the site. I haven't ever used one, but I've never read a bad thing about them.
Answer:
sounds and looks nice. Only thing is I can hear your actual guitar picking as loud as I can hear the amp. I'd like to hear just the amp.
Congrats!
Answer:
Sweet!
Now, of course, you must tell us how much it cost.

Yeah, I was using one of those computer headphone / microphone sets. So of course my guitar was going to be closer then my amp is. It also came out thinner sounding then it did in real life - but until I get a decent microphone, and can mic up the amp itself, there's nothing I can really do about it.

The head was AU$2,500 (approx US$2,000), and the cab was AU$1,600 (US$1,250). Mind you prices for musical equipment is always inflated in Australia.
I also played a Framus Cobra, Engl Powerball, Engl Blackmore, Peavey 6505+, and a Mesa Dual Rec, but decided on the Fireball (it was cheaper, still sounded great, and I didn't need more then 60 watt, nor fancy features). It ended up costing about the same as a Marshall Mode 4 would have.
Answer:
Lol, that says a bit about the mode4.
good choice.
