Members tnourse Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 Originally posted by -=MYK=- Yeah, and you, a bedroom wanker, would CLEARLY know everything about playing in a band setting. Lucius, I'm giving this info to you as a friend, and not just some biased fanboy like those here disagreeing with my truths. Best wishes, -Myk Nothing wrong with being a "bedroom wanker" (I'm a basement wanker). I believe the topic was helping to decide whether or not to buy a Powerball or a Blackmore. Not which amp cuts through the mix better. Personally I like the Blackmore better than the Powerball, but I've never played either in a band setting. But I have heard all types of Engl amps cut through live just fine. But I have read on this forum many times that Engls do not cut through live. Why is that?? I'm just curious...

Members bob the dentist Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 Originally posted by indespise Well, looks like I'm gonna have to play this card again... I'd like to hear a Blackmore do THIS Yeah, that basically doesn't cut that well. I don't know if the mixer is just kind of...stupid, but you can hear the drums way over the guitars. But cool song tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Necropharaoh Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 I've never played the Blackmore so i can't comment on it,but I have owned the Powerball and I have yet to play a better amp for deathmetal and I have had ZERO problems cutting it in a band mix.You just have to dial it in right,if you still can't get it right for christ sakes throw an eq through the loop.I've played with another guitarist that had a Marshall TSL and still hung with him.I currently own the Savage and I miss my Powerball not to say the Savage can't hang with the Powerball the PB has more bottom end to it. I'd just try out both amps in person then decide whats best for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IKilledSifoDyas Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 For the record,I'm a living room wanker,though my amps are located in an adjoining bedroom (not that anyone gives a {censored},but still ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LordRiffenstein Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 Originally posted by Megadeth7684 It's basically the same thing as the Powerball. It's really nothing like the Blackmore. Originally posted by indespise It's not in between the two. If anything, it's like a stripped down Powerball, with a bit more grit or grind to it. The PB and FB have a more modern super high gain sound than the Blackmore. You are both wrong as the FB is def. not a stripped down PB because it existed WAY before the PB. Secondly, from a schematic standpoint, it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LordRiffenstein Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 Originally posted by -=MYK=- It's a stripped down Powerball with even LESS power. So you have even MORE of a problem actually cutting through than before. If you have one of those in a band setting then you might as well not be plugged in at all. Nice trolling Pocahontas!!!

Some people have problems cutting thru with their Powerball, something that was looked at in the V2 of the PB. I have never had problems cutting thru with my Engl amps and I have played almost all in a band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarist17 Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 i can only speak from MY expierence, and MY expierence with the powerball, is that i got completely walked over in a band situation, especially live. No amount of good PA work could get that thing to sound in your face, and defined, or to sound like anything but total high end and bass. on its own? {censored}ing awesome, i was in heaven, but it wasn't working in the band situation. I've spent the time with the blackmore, and i love that amp more than any engl ive played, and I feel it would sit in the mix much better.

Members DarkCide Posted May 15, 2006 Members Share Posted May 15, 2006 Stop beating the darn dead horse. It has already been established that with the right combination of amp/cab, ALL ENGL's cut through the mix. If anything, my Powerball it too dominant in my band mix. I've had to turn the volume way down and switched to open mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
