B.O.T.A. - ENGL Fireball100 VS Peavey6505+

[@gerdhery]

Which Amp do you like most? Which Amps I should compare next?

[@gitarspan]

Slightly the ENGL. Next could be Orange Dual Dark and Mesa dual Recto.

[@gerdhery]

@@gitarspan Oh...no idea how to get my hands on these two Amps 😅

[@Angelopes]

Fireball

[@Davidlovesmusic311]

Too many to list, so many good high Gain amps out there now

[@gerdhery]

@Davidlovesmusic311 that's right, it's a tough one...so many choices 😁

[@jasonstallworth]

The Fireball, all day!! Love ENGL!

[@gerdhery]

@@jasonstallworth me too 😁

[@TimeCrisis1990]

the engl fireball with the mid boost on is the GOAT

[@gerdhery]

@@TimeCrisis1990 🤘🏻😁

[@tehnagabakti]

Man both of these amps sounds absolutely killer and you couldn't go wrong with either.

[@gerdhery]

@@tehnagabakti keeping both will make the trick 😁

[@MR-iz1te]

I like both equally. They sound pretty similar. Great content as always 💪🏻

[@gerdhery]

Thanks 😁

[@Worlds_Worst_Guitarist]

They sound NOTHING like similiar! But both Amps sound great.

[@gerdhery]

@@Worlds_Worst_Guitarist on which Device did you listened to the Video? Of course there are some differences, but with a bit more tweaking you can get them sound pretty close to each other.

[@Worlds_Worst_Guitarist]

@@gerdhery Beyerdynamic 1770Pro Headphones.

[@gerdhery]

@@Worlds_Worst_Guitarist Wow ok, most people are listening through their Mobile Phone. Great that you are doing it with a good pair of Headphones. That's what I'm doing aswell when I listen to Demos and stuff.

[@clementmorin4962]

both sound great on your video..)

[@gerdhery]

@@clementmorin4962 Thanks, do you have a favourite?

[@Davidlovesmusic311]

I have the 6505 plus and an iron ball special edition I know it's not the same Engl but it has great clean and gain with built in delay and noise gate. Sounds great thru,y mesa 2x12 cab. Both amps sound amazing

[@gerdhery]

@@Davidlovesmusic311 Yeah, I habe the IronballSE aswell, great little monster 😁

[@DarkHorizonsMusic]

Both are phenomenal and I like how you’ve dialed them in. Actually preferred the Peavey a bit more here over the Fireball.

[@gerdhery]

Thanks

[@YsAbTones]

the peaveys sounds great with those engl cabs

[@gerdhery]

@@YsAbTones yeah, this Cab is really good, even though it looks very beat up 😅

[@clementmorin4962]

👍👍

[@ontologicaldiarrhea6582]

You can hear, that Fireball 100 is much more modern. Also it's clean channel doesn't suck. But i have to admit, that have special place in my heart for 5150's (especially for 6505+) so if I were to choose, I would probably pick Peavey:) The wall of mids sounds mighty

[@gerdhery]

@@ontologicaldiarrhea6582 Fair enough, it's a really cool Amp 👍🏻

[@kg4st]

From over here, Peavey. But the Fireball with mid boost was kick ass.

[@gerdhery]

@@kg4st yeah the Midboost really brings the Fireball back into the game 😉

[@Davidlovesmusic311]

I have both amps as well and I will keep them both too

[@gerdhery]

@@Davidlovesmusic311 Great!! Is one of them your secret favourite or do you love them equally? 😁

[@Davidlovesmusic311]

No not equally I own many guitars

[@Davidlovesmusic311]

I think the e n g l is more versatile than the Peavey but I got such a great deal on the TV used in perfect condition 120 w s*** great amp

[@gerdhery]

@@Davidlovesmusic311 I have just a few. I'm more into Amps 😅

[@Spazmo5000]

Great video!

[@gerdhery]

Thank you very much 😁

[@BigMuff520]

I love them both though they are different. I’d say for me the ENGL is the winner but living in the US, they are very expensive.

[@gerdhery]

@@BigMuff520 I hear that a lot that Engl is expensive in the US. Here in Germany it's ok

[@geraldrauch1701]

bought my fireball 100 last November from the Music Store in Germany for $1300.00...its was wired for 230V but I bought a step up transformer for about $50.00...its a monster...cheers brother!!!

[@gerdhery]

@@geraldrauch1701 yeah nice, keep on rocking Man 🤟🏻

[@Logjammer69]

I’ve had multiples of both. Fireball hands down is a better amp.

[@gerdhery]

@@Logjammer69 I do also tend to the Fireball and not because I'm German too 😅

[@Victamorsomni]

More definition less treble?

[@gerdhery]

Which Amp? The Engl?

[@Victamorsomni]

@@gerdhery the ENGL

[@gerdhery]

@@Victamorsomni yeah next time I will dial in less treble 😉

[@chrisgnineil15]

I like both. But ENGL is my winner.

[@gerdhery]

The FB100 is called the "Europoean Pendant" to the 6505. Do you think that's a realistic statement?

[@Waycooljr5]

Peavy all day

[@gerdhery]

@@Waycooljr5 I need to turn that thing up on the Master someday

[@Waycooljr5]

@@gerdhery anything that was designed for Eddie Van Halen you know will slay

[@gerdhery]

@@Waycooljr5 sure it is! I made separat Videos for the 6505 and the Lunchbox 5150 too. Check them out on my Channel if you like 🙂

[@barged5466]

I've had both. Preferred the Engl for playing solo but the 6505 was better with a band

[@gerdhery]

@@barged5466 interesting, thanks for sharing

[@darknature79]

I just got a smolski Powerball and it's got more gain than any other engl I've owned or played. I've had 2 se heads the Powerball 1 and 2,the fireball 60 and 100 and the screamer 50 and this smolski model is insane for thick saturated deathmeal tones. And the clean tone has some good low end and is thick too.ohh and i got the metal master 20 and the smolski is still on top. Only other amps I like as much was a special jsx I played that just sounded way better then any other one for some reason and the king the mi audio gamma. The gamma is a better over all tone amp but this smolski is thick cannibal corpse tone on tap.

[@gerdhery]

I had the Smolski on my Channel aswell. It was actually my first Amp Review about 1 year ago. It is a really great Amp 🤟🏻

[@darknature79]

@@gerdhery my other favorites where the fireball 60,which was my 1st engl ever and the powerball1v2. Especially with wsrpigs in a charvel model 6 I had that also had the je1200 boost and I could get crazy gain tones with that combo.

[@gerdhery]

@@darknature79 ever tried an Engl Savage 120?

[@billk9799]

Can't go wrong with either but for my taste ENGL all the way!!

[@gerdhery]

@@billk9799 🤟🏻

[@dryzd]

Sometimes I like Peavey more and sometimes Engl. I think this depends how amp is dialed

[@gerdhery]

Maybe sometimes it's a "mood" thing 😅

[@dryzd]

Could be 🤣

[@eoinc_Ire]

Fireball. The Peavey almost sounds like the Fireball 25 ( Heard John Brown shooting the 25 and 100 out just 30 mins ago, at 42gearStreet 4-5 years ago).

[@gerdhery]

@@eoinc_Ire John did a really good Shootout back then

[@ontologicaldiarrhea6582]

You cannot really compare 6505+ to Fireball 25. Fireball Is still lunchbox; it just sounds smaller, has more modern voicing...it just sounds like Engl Peavey is wall of cocked wah mids - you either like it or not, I personally love it and prefer it even over magnificent Fireball 100

[@sweezyjackson4935]

The PV is 600-700 dollars cheaper and if used even more so. ENGL is almost 2 grand. There isnt that much difference to justify the higher price.

[@gerdhery]

@@sweezyjackson4935 I hear that a lot that Engl is higher in price in the US. Here in Germany used prices for the Fireball is around 600-800 Euros, same as for Peaveys. It's not the brand's fault 😉

[@sweezyjackson4935]

@@gerdhery But many people that will see this video are in USA. Gotta factor that fact in too. PV amps are dirt cheap here.

@@sweezyjackson4935 Everyone is free to play with whatever gear suits them best. Mesa Boogie for example is super expensive here in Germany and very hard to get 🤷🏻‍♂️ What about in the US?
