[@SonicDriveStudio]

Congrats with the amp man! Cool video too ;)

[@HighImpaktAudio]

Hey thank you Jon! I just couldn't pass it up. It was too perfect. Thank you so much for watching my friend! 😁

[@lekkerblankastudio]

engl always sounds really good

The crunch channel [ch2] with the gain up around 1 o'clock, Great clarity and definition....Ch4 Hi gain can be insane, awesome modern metal tone. This is a superb amp all round...... My mum wore earrings like those!

That thing sounds beautiful!! Always wanted an ENGL

[@HighImpaktAudio]

I have the fireball 25 as well and I have been super happy with both of the Engls that I've had the pleasure of playing 😁

[@ordohereticus3427]

Yes. Full review!

[@Squeleton2112]

"Mid Boosted switch that is global for the entire amplifier" - No sir that is incorrect. Per the Manual, Middle-Boosted is for Channel 3 and Channel 4 only. "Let's engage the noisegate and see how good it is here" while on Channel 2. - Again...per the manual...the noisegate is only active for Channel 3 and Channel 4. The manual presents a lot of useful information you could utilize to properly demo this amp!

THIS!

Engl is a brutal amp. I watched the whole video. Thanks for letting us hear the differences with the push knobs. For me as a newbie to this amp I do wished you would included the last two turning knobs as well so we could hear what sound it would produce. Anyway, congratulations with this kick ass amp.

Hey Chris, that sounds awesome, I am with you, a cool amp, cheers.

The two gain channels are not 100% the same. The first one is tighter and better suited for riffage. The second lead is more about lead, has more saturation and is overall rounded and less tight. It is also more sensitive on boost from pedals compared to the first lead channel.

[@melodicmetal2155]

hi. I think Powerball 2 unique be it has depth control and for me it its more body sound also even compare to Founders/Savage mk2. they has more clean/clarity sound on high gains which is not good if we want more punch sound like at Powerball 2

[@ordohereticus3427]

Yeah. I wish more ENGLs had a proper depth control like the Powerball and the Invader.

Did anyone know Seth Rogan was a guitar player?

[@alexmortar]

What i hear here is how amp should be sound in right way. What is the guitar configuration? As i know there is no exist a Fireball 2, on a comparisons Powerball and Fireball sounds pretty close but Powerball have more sound tweaks.

The current Fireball 100 (end of year 2009) is a kind of Fireball II. The Fireball Mark one (60 watts) and Powerball Mark one had a mirror front panel.

[@ordohereticus3427]

@@enuxsCorrect. It also sounds close to the Powerball II’s lead 1 channel, but with much more gain straight from the start while the Powerball’s gain needs to be dialled higher to reach matching saturation. Both can crush it for high gain, but Fireball 100 is a more simplified and straight to the point amp in that regard.
