Both sound good; ENGL has my preferred kind of voicing. Also, leaving the presence so far down is choking the upper mids and highs too much. It does not sound that muffled in real life, going through actual speakers.

This demo was the final “nail in the coffin” for me to finally pull the trigger on an MT15. Thank you TENFOLD for the BEST review of this amp hands down in this and other videos. Your videos are the closest thing to trying the amp in real life in various settings and genres. I don’t feel like there were any questions I had left in answered thanks to you. Keep it up man! For the record…. The final segment with the Stephen Carpenter 7 string is easily my Favorite Riff I have EVER heard. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve opened this video and went straight to the final segment.

You cover a wide array of styles/genres staying true and accurate to all of them whilst also covering many good tones and setups such as using different IR's same IR's etc. I love your easy to follow style and format, which is very uncommon to see in amp demo style videos these days. So easy to watch, you're really nailing it man thanks for the amazing work!

Edit: sorry, not trying to insult your work. Maybe before YT compression, the contrast is more noticeable. But on the viewers end, it starts to all sound the same.

This is a great comparison, and I was thinking about going with the MT15, but went with the Engl Fireball 25 because I found it to be more versatile. Someone pointed out that in this shootout, the Engl presence was turned down really low as compared to the MT15. I keep the presence set at around 10 o'clock, which to me is the sweet spot. The Engl by no means sounds muffled if you turn up the presence a bit.

as owner of fireball 100 I think I can shed some light on presence knob setting. Guess it pretty same on fball 25. It shapes highs (and hi mids I think) very aggressively. WIth being set on noon it's not usable for rhythm guitar at all. 9 o'clock reasonable setting. 10-12 o'clock adds some glass to sound and brings noise. Higher position - more noise. might be good for some lead parties. I didn't found presence knob usable at setting higher than 12 o'clock and it seems like author feels the same. Fireball has darker sound by design. So, guess presence settings on those amps are kind of sweet spots for author

It could be that he dialed in EQ settings which he thought sounded best on each amp for those particular sound clips. Not all amp's EQs sweep the same way. Balancing each frequency is a difficult task given each amp's circuit design. To my ears the ENGL has lots of presence/fizz but also has more mid "roar", as he put it, than the PRS MT15 which tends to darken the overall sound. He would have had to choose between boosting more presence or cutting mids to make it less dark but perhaps in doing so it changed the characteristics of the amp in an unpleasant way. Post EQ (in software or a multi-band EQ pedal in the loop) would give more options but then that takes away from the purpose of the comparison.

I liked the high end sparkle of the PRS on the cleans, but the warmer ENGL had a really nice tone as well. On the Crunch test, the ENGL was the hands down winner. Those pushed mids made it sound so much more full and satisfying. On the baritone metal(which is what I primarily play), those mids that made the ENGL sound so good in the crunch clips made it sound muddy here. The PRS was a lot more crisp and tight. I'd choose the ENGL and put a boost in front of it.

Hey love your content! whats your opinion of the overall quality of each amp with regard to the country its is manufactured in? The prs is built in china and the engl in germany. Is there a difference or is the country of manufacturer irrelevant for amps in the 21st century?

I have the mt15 and love it. Running through my old Marshall mg412 cab and looking to upgrade to 2x12 with better speakers. What’s the general consensus on best cab to pair this thing with? Only other cab I’ve played this through is an evh 212 cab and it sounded great. Just curious if something like a mesa 2x12 would pair better. Thoughts?

Not sure about the comparison of crunch capabilities as Engl sounded like treble/hi-mids were cut off by the presence knob which was almost totally down...why was that? why not a bit upper?

Might be time to revisit the Orange OR15 to see if it still stacks up
