ENGL Fireball...yet another question.

[the_drip]

My brother is about to abandon the land of 5150..ness. He is seriously considering the purchase of a ENGL Fireball and 2 Genz benz 2x12's. His favorite guitar tones right now are Dimmu Borgir, Nevermore and Darkane..I think. He loves Angel Dust too.

This is a wise choice yes? the Fireball is a loud little fucker isn't it? Maybe some suggested Settings from you guys...to get him started.

I use this setting at the moment:

Gain 11.00
Bass 13.00
Mid 11.00
Treble 12.00

Awesome tone for Metal.
The head is loud but not that loud,my gh50l was a bit louder,but I have to change valves to see how much loud it can be.

I've never heard an amp that has Gain that goes to 11 [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

(Yes i know you meant 11 o clock [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] )

Re: ENGL Fireball...yet another question.

Didn't Spinal Tap actually have amps that had buttons showing up to 11?

Yes they sure do and If I am not wrong Mike was inspired by spinal tap to make them that way no?

Re: ENGL Fireball...yet another question.

So, Mordor, you havea fireball? What are your influences....would you say you get a pretty good tone match to them? I will til have a 5150...will I be drowning him out ? Not a huge deal as I have to play keyboards as well.

Re: ENGL Fireball...yet another question.

I play thrash/death,imo it has a great tone.Really great articulation and clarity.All the gain you need and much more too.If you search this section you should find my post with a not so good clip of the fireball,you can have an idea of the sound it can get.

In the end I say that it's one of the best cheap valve heads suited for metal.
