Trying out the new Engl Special Edition Founders Edition amplifier. It's a beast of an amplifier filled with features and things. Could potentially be the most complete amplifier I've ever tried.

Bought my ENGL SE670 EL34 back in 2009 when Jeff Loomis and Chris Broderick used to play them, and my journey of searching for that dream tone ended right there! This Amp is so versatile and sounds so beautiful right out of the box that I can't imagine having anything else in my plethora of song creation, other than synths which is a totally different realm. Absolutely the best purchase I ever made for my music gear 😊😊😊

@balmain2496 10 ай бұрын

This is it. The best metal amplifier ever created. We can all stop looking.

@jackflynn-oakley1937 10 ай бұрын

I’m right in thinking this sounds insane right? No boost, no post processing, raw tone… Maybe the best midrange I’ve heard

@plumbummusic2051 10 ай бұрын

Sounds like a perfect high-gain monster for the studio. You can basically work the knobs and buttons until you find a tone that needs little to no post-processing

Their special editions normally have an analog effects sweet including a built in tube screamer. This looks like a full sized fireball se with even more.

This amp is the GOAT. You can even play a full gig on just the crunch channel using the guitar's volume knob. Using chanel switching, midi and the plethora of switches sends you to another dimension. Highly recommended for any style of music

@sepiarain 10 ай бұрын

I remember when the guitarist in my brother's death metal band bought an Engl and it completely transformed what they were doing. They went for fizzy to having so much guts clarity and volume. Just overwhelmingly lush tone, whether chugging or tremelo-ing or even more muddy black metal chord sections. It just adapted to whatever the player wanted perfectly without compromise.

When I needed my first good amp, the Fireball's sound impressed me way more than the 5150s my friends kept talking about. Then I heard the Savage and had to have one - it completely blew me away. When shopping for one used, I lucked into a bargain Special Edition instead. It's just the perfect amp for me, and I'll never sell it. I can very much relate to and understand the faces Ola makes around the 5 min mark playing with the switches - pure riff chug satisfaction! After many years with my SE, I still get that feeling every time I turn it on.

You should deactivate the (gain boost) knob between the Clean gain & Crunch gain knobs, to get a crunchy sound 😉 The new version of e670fe is missing two knobs, the (lo pow./ hi pow. & speaker A/B)! I'm a proud owner to have the old e670 S. E. I had & still have many amps in my collection but this one I call it (the unbeatable). So versatile and easy to get cool sounds out of it, not complicated as my Mark V 90w..I know they are different and do not attack me on this 😅 It has a decent noise gate & quite enough of gain... I always have the gain of the 3rd ch. on 11 O'clock & if I want to boost it for b*tching, I put the gain on 10 O'clock!! This amp is a beast!! 🔥

The crunch channel is king on this amp. Always max out the gain with the gain boost, push the treble a bit and then an overdrive in front. Lead 1 is really great to, but the crunch just sounds bigger and more open in my opinion :)

@hakarl_ 4 ай бұрын

They are well rated, I think. They had a bad rap among sound engineers the early 2000s due to fizzy, boomy, oversaturated metalcore sounds. To me those early 2000s Engl still sound great, but they can be challenging to dial in. Nowadays their reputation is probably overtaking Peavey.

@homemetalstudios759 10 ай бұрын

Engl has been my go to for amps for a while. Just absolutely beautiful distorted tone. I mostly use a powerball but have been curious about a savage for years

@Lukas_Hart 10 ай бұрын

It is so worth trying it! I own a savage and the feature I love the most is, that you have 2 gain controls on the crunch 1 and the lead channel. So you can blend different types of gain structures plus it has a lead boost on the lead channel, that also changes the gain structure slightly. That makes it incredible versatile for metal/rock tones

I remember the ENGL Special Edition well, it was my dream amp at the time, but way out of my budget range. I'm glad they brought it back, it's such a versatile and amazing sounding amp. I am playing the Fireball 100 myself, but the SE, the Uberschall and the Framus Cobra were always my "drewl all over" amps. This again sounds so killer and immediately takes me back to those times where we would go into a music store and take the playtest room hostage for about an hour with this thing.

@@TheWolvesCurse I’m assuming that’s the case, Germany is very strict on importing and exporting products and want there cut of tax money so in the end we get the the hit from all of those taxes and surcharges, not a good way to do business.
