Just bought a used Powerball2 at GC.
That amp was in mint condition and sounded great.
I’ve been playing guitar for almost 20 years and I’ve never owned anything that sounded this good.
It’s a raw animal, is what that thing is!!!
Totally recommend for anyone who’s been on the endless, painful journey in search for a great tone.
Just bought the Engl powerball ii last week…..holy shit this amp is incredible! I also own a Rockerverb 50 and marshal JVM4101h but the engl has everything and more what these 2 amps have! The low end really bring the guitar 2 life and the mid boost is beautiful!
One of the best amps ever ! Sounds amazing! in Studio & Live! It's a beast! Warm, Rich & Well made! I will never part with it.
I love my powerball, one of the meanest amps ever, people seem to dog on them on forums, these people are dumb, if you get drowned out by your other guitarist, use your head, turn them down or adjust to blend together instead of having a pissing contest. I never had a problem cutting with mine, especially when I replaced those terrible tubes with a slight mod. It destroys everything now, I've destroyed the 6505 and mesa's live with my powerball. That and gearheads blow a load when they see a
I have a PB2. awsome awsome tone. good for studio… but a bit gutless live. cranks when i put it through a dirty 300w marshall cabs.. but sounds pretty ugly… i usually just push the engl cab to it's limit
i'm on the wall over a dual rec, 5150 III or a fireball/powerball?? i have no way to demo any of the three either…i just want high gain that cuts and is tight low end and articulate…i'm thinking more towards the 5150 III…i played a dual rec and a 5150 III a number of years ago and i remember the 5150 III killing the dual rec live with a band…idk?
The screamer's a more versatile amp. it doesn't have quite as much gain as the powerball but it can still do metal very well. The clean tones are the best i've heard though and it can easily handle searing leads and anything from classic rock to full blown metal. im getting one myself soon 🙂
As a rhythm guitarrist, I use the Engl Fireball 60 Watt. It's a weapon!!! Very very powerful! 2 chanels which is more than enough.
So both channels share the same EQ?
@ dekzen woah buddy idk about amps pedals as far as any ditortion or tube screamer which practicaly be used to raise the signal vol than yes, im a mesa owner my self ive found out about engl recently idk with all the amps that are out today it really comes to tone budget and quality, thats why when i choosen my options i said mesa or marshall im glad with my chioce how bout u or anyone else reading this when it came down to it are you happy with your purchase
I NEED ONE OF THESE!
ENGLs assassinated all amps and distortion pedals with no mercy
tell you the truth the fireball is very sensitive to the type of pickups used.most are using high output pickups i.e emgs,blackouts,lawrences,etc.with low output pickups a more "classic" style drive can be obtained.but remember this amp still cooks with the gain at 9 o clock. lol
@JamesENGL actually powerball II has less gain 😀
the biggest improvement is the facelift, cause the fb en pb already kicked ass!
hi , does anybody knows if the firebal 60 sounds same like fireball 100 ?
SAAANNNNIIIITARIUM!!!!!!
@Slayer4evah thanks for the info, i hear they're a bit expensive though
@hondansx1000 the Fireball is one of the best metal amps out there imho
are Engls any good for metal? i really want one i've nearly got enough to buy one of the Screamer combo's
@ThieleM Why dont u make a video and show us your tone?
was that an ibanez gio they used in this video?
i want to play nevermore style but i don't know who between fireball and powerball is the best
PLAY SOME GOOD RIFFS !!!!
sanitarium!!!! woot this guy plays metallica!
sounds pretty gnarly!!
new fire ball here:)
I think it sound like poop and so did the guitar player. get yourself a bogner or egnater or hughes and kettner. can't go wrong.
Nice Amp indeed…! But man, don't get me wrong, you are a better guitarist than reviewer…..Nonetheless, good choice.ENGL rocks. I would suggest to review Speaker Cabinets man, they do a lot in terms of tone. ENGL has a 2×12 series that kick ass! Would be cool to find out about good AMP/Cabinet combinations…..Cheers
@ripcliffburtonrip The vid recorded the amp vol pretty good, too bad we
couldn't crank it.
I did the camwork WOOH!
He keeps saying in all the powerball 2 vids the main feature is the black face!? I would have to disagree. The fact that you now have 4 separate gains would be the main feature if you ask me.
which would be better… mesa triple rec or a fireball 100?
Exodus uses Engl but not the Powerball or Fireball. I'm not sure which model they use exactly.
wie viel willst du dafür?
Great review. Now I know that Fireball will suit me better than the Powerball.
does somebody need a powerball? I'm selling mine (from germany)
