We've played with Jack Frost twice while he's been using these, and the tone is excellent. I think they're single-channel, though.

I would be all over a fireball, except teh fact that the clean and hi-gain channels share a all their tone controls. So i fyou want pristine clean, you have to scrifice yoru death metal tone, and vice versa. I like the extremes for both. none of htat dirty clean crap...and none of that wussy distortion crap.

Re: ENGL Fireball.........

really? I'd really like to give one a try....but, yeah...not gonna happen anytime soon.

here's the big question though. Does the 60 watt fireball have enough juice to balance with a 5150 that has its pregain at 5.5 and the postgain at 5? If so....I'd be happy to suggest it to my brother..who is actually saving up for a powerball.

A Fireball for $799. JCM800 for $599.
Between the two, get the Engl. I've read nothing but good reviews on it. In fact, I'm saving money right now to buy one next year. That's a killer deal BTW.
