Members poida Posted March 15, 2005 Members Share Posted March 15, 2005 The first pic is the most recent style.You can see the difference in the input jack. The early one also had a funny logo whereas the new one just has a 6l6 tube.You must have one of the early FB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Xmetal Posted March 15, 2005 Members Share Posted March 15, 2005 I switched some preamp tubes around yesterday and now I'm falling in love with my amp all over again. Ch. 2 on it absolutely slays! It has never sounded this good. I'm in tonal heaven.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the PowerBall two months after it was released, and I'm guessing it was part of the first batch to hit the US.Take Care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheGreatGreen Posted March 15, 2005 Members Share Posted March 15, 2005 hey guys, i'm wondering how similar the Powerball's and the SE's power sections are. how close would i be to the Special Edition head if i used the 570 preamp into the Powerball's poweramp? i know there would be a few features i'd be missing out on, but generally speaking, tone for tone, how close do you think could i get?

I didn't know you could do this as the Powerball doesn't have a slave/poweramp input. Why not just get the SE head? It looks mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EmgEsp Posted March 15, 2005 Members Share Posted March 15, 2005 Originally posted by DerekB I was talking with Engl earlier today and they have a new one in the works that will be 4 Channel's with each channel having it's own independent EQ(Gain,Bass,Mid,Treb,Presence). Real straight up no frill's from what they said with totally different tones than the other model's. I know they have been thinking of having channel 4 Bogner/Soldano influenced.I'll give more info when I know. Oh Ya!! They are thinking up names for it too so if you guy;s have any idea's let's hear and I'll pass it on!!!! Derek:cool: ENGL Crotch shaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it will have a spongier attack, and I would rather have the SE. I sure am glad the PB curbing my gas, though, whew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darth Balls Posted March 15, 2005 Members Share Posted March 15, 2005 No offense Egbert, but I hate chicken knobs. I wanna put rectal knobs on mine, like the SE. Looks soooooo badass."Why can't I have big peckers too? Chicken peckers, that is. Uuhhh, chicken head beaks, that is. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shred For Sale Posted March 17, 2005 Members Share Posted March 17, 2005 Now its time for my question I recently have encountered a good amount of money after selling a ton of gear, and I am quite perplexed over what my next purchase should be. I'm a high-gain kind of guy, and will be playing progressive, tech, death metal with it. I also have extremely high clean standards though, and use it plenty. (If you can believe it) I have an Uber right now, and a Bogner closed back, slant, 4x12 cab that I run it through. Here are my thoughts:- I love the Cobra, but I really want to see what Lynch's amp will have to offer being a huge fan.- After hearing what ENGLs can do, I have become very interested in them. All I know about them though is what I've read from the Rock Solid Amps website.- Bogner XTC - What can I say that hasn't been said, I just love this amp- Matchless DC 30 - I've always wanted one, and I believe they could quite possibly have the single greatest clean tone ever. Anyways...sorry for the gigantic post, and any help will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chna Posted March 21, 2005 Members Share Posted March 21, 2005 Maybe been answered before but what are the major differences of the Engl amps ? or better the main music genre of each amp ? I think : thunder : - great cleans - bluesy - rock / classic rock screamer: - like the thunder but also - modern rock/ metal rbs : - like the screamer but - 100w - more features fireball : ... powerball: savage: ... ...

Members Primex Posted March 24, 2005 Members Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hello guys,here is my Engl Powerball Full Stack. It has changed. I sold one slant cabinet and bought a straight one. The Powerball is a cool Amp but I wish it had an open sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
