ENGL Fireball 100 VS Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier 3ch 100w | HIGH GAIN SHOOTOUT

[@marcandrenault1233]

For me there are 3 winner here The Mesa, The Engl and you my man. What a great demonstration of what 2 awesome amp can do.

[@dougiemonday]

I have a fireball 25 currently I love it, had a DualRect in the 90’s loved it also. But the Engl seems to take less “know how” to make it sound good. It can sound way better than the mesa though, when “know how” is applied, IMO.

[@mcpribs]

Fireball all day, every day, for me. Killer riffs/riffing! Loved them even more than the amps! Thanks for sharing 🤘🏻

[@kevincochran5361]

I have a Fireball and to me, I bet they'd be a bit closer if you hit that mid boost on the Fball..probably more equivalent to the boost in font of the Rec. They both sound great, and your demo did them both justice.

[@ordohereticus3427]

They both sounded great. The Dual Rectifier did sound marginally boosted, not just a bit tighter, but also boosted, which was inevitable.

[@mvyper]

I liked the recto a tad better, but the point is that it took a boost to get it there. And I always prefer an amp that doesn't need a boost.

2:52 Just WOW that sounds so fricken good. The fireball is crazy

[@TheHasselBoff]

You're a great guitarist man! But for me the Fireball sits way better in the mix, low end and mid range are perfect without muddying the mix.

[@ConnorRas-gi8qo]

Fireball sounds better in the mix, stand alone they both sound pretty equal. Both great amps

[@matthewcarter5993]

Great Demo! Great riffage!

[@honeybadger1810]

Honestly the fireball sounds a bit more musical, that might be placebo, but to me it just sounds like a guitar amp should.

[@themixmusicandmore6280]

I have a 3ch dual rec and my other guitarist has an egl powerball 2. Together it sounds amazing

[@UncleYoshi]

Very similar sound from both amps. Based on this video, the dual Rectifier has a tad more clarity & definition, but it could be because of the boost pedal. If the Fireball was boosted, it might be too overwhelming, but would be interesting to see if u can get a similar definition & clarity.

[@cizmar1972]

Both sound great but the Fireball wins again.

[@billk9799]

Both are monsters and staples in metal chugging. Mesa is thicker but the tightness of the ENGL is from another galaxy. The Rec is nowhere near even boosted.

[@darkscience1466]

The ENGL 100%

[@marcandrenault1233]

Will be following!

[@MK-oz2lf]

what's the difference in voicing between the fireball, the powerball and savage? Is the fireball suppose to be the German 5150?

[@JesterDyne]

The 100W Kind of yes but with a little smother Mids and lieke a Block Letter boosted with a TS. And it has a great pristine Clean Channel. Great amp in any ways... but also a bit boring because it sounds so good in any setting. The 60W was a totally different amp and it always sounded like ass... (silver Faceplate, avoid)

[@vl292]

A little bit of Pantera vibe towards the end wasnt it. 1st part Mesa sounded better, Fireball towards the end. Both sounded great and the comparison was well excecuted, thanks!

[@letsgobrandon8271]

There's no comparison here. They sound equally great. BUT... the fireball is 1900 and the Mesa is 3000. 1900 wins every single time!!! Good shoot out though. Tasty riffs and nothing but thrash.❤❤❤❤

[@planetcaravan93]

Well I ended up with both. I thank you but my bank account does not

[@geomusicmove]

Which one do you prefer?

[@planetcaravan93]

@@geomusicmoveI go back and forth! Most days I chose the rec

[@cblizard6850]

Yeah, which one do you prefer?

[@johndesrosier1672]

Which one do you like better?

[@monsteralex3098]

Both sounds great! But Mesa has more low end and sounds massive in comparison to Engl which sounds little bit thin. It would be fair to use tube screamer with Engl also. I like to dial back gain on my fireball 60 and use it with zakk wylde overdrive.

[@nivilla1258]

Amazing)

[@redsilverjack]

Waiting for my fireball . 🤮

[@Krankenstein]

Mine arrived today

[@cblizard6850]

How are you two liking the fireball?

[@Andy_E.2677]

Damned ccooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll NoISEE :))))

[@Astral_Wave]

Always nice playing from you. Can't decide which I preferred. Maybe mesa by an inch
