    The connection is sufficient: input facade, fx send / return (mono), hp outputs (or 1x8ohms 2x16ohms or 1x16ohms or 2x8ohms), XLR output, footswitch 1 (Contrle clean / lead and hi / Logain by a jack st ro), 2 footswitch (selections of the output level and reverb on / off by jack stro) port for the z-5.
    rglages:
    volume clear volume lead. By default, the output level is the same. Nevertheless a knob situated to the rear to change the ratio (contrlable and the footswitch 2)
    1 eq common for 2 channels (which may be the default of this amp): bass, mid, trebble.
    1 bright mode that apllique also all channels.
    1 treble presence of potted lead.
    1 switch that adds shine bright
    1 stand by (handy for keeping hot lamps for a guitar change for example.
    1 knob output level of the XLR.
    The absence of eq not ask me problem insofar as I change the spectrum with eq g of Staff, but this is something that can really show Gnant for another configuration and made me lower the note 8. The bright poses fewer bp to the extent it can be Inrush and play on the presence of acute lead in

    USE

    Setup is a breeze due to one eq.
    However, the common rglage gain between 2 channels apparis complicates the task: find the point of sufficient gain to cruncher while remaining clean with a hum in clean. But once done, it is pure happiness and the least we can say is that this amp sounds very well. Unable shot stick 10/10 because certainly other guitarists do not rouveront this compromise.
    the manual is in English. Clear and sufficient in that language, the subtleties of the duties will have to be learned by fiddling for others. The problem is that we do not hack with impdances hp ...

    SONORITS

    I play a lot of metal, grunge, a little less rock and blues.
    For metal, grunge I use a Schecter C-1 Classic (SH2 / SH4), a '02 SG Special Faded (490R / T) for the rock / blues.
    Overall, the cleanliness is the order of the day. This amp sounds modern, very modern in all registres.Seul a little rocky blues does not go too far because of high modernity sound.
    Whatever the channel. The variety of sounds that you can get out is quite consquente: turns very clear crystalline split position, without being garish. The crunch announces a resolutely modern rock, even with the SG Special which possde a fairly old school bell. In metal, the saturations are sharp, powerful and prcis muts when the tapping, pure rgal, though I be only beginner in this field. the leads are beautiful, harmonic out. in short all good.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    Used since two days after having bav since the first test performed it a few months ago. Selfishly I would put him 10, but the score will for me reflter what other guitarists expect the amp and my comments are that I can not put it legitimately 10: /
    I appreciates the most is obviously sound and sound obvious modernity of the craft coupled versatility.
    I might regret a perspective sound is not to have a "vintage" fashion, a design point of view, it requires some compromises: eq common, not str o.
    I tried many things before: Fender DETAILEDREPORT not for the big saturation, marshall who lacks cleanliness and DETAILEDREPORT old school, peavey so versatile that it lacks character, h & k not proposed to 'equivalent) mesa I do not like the grain, much less the price crate is too rare.
    However, this is an amp whose purchase must be rflchi in terms of rig for its modernity that does not allow him to play all styles and also these small defects eq.
    The price quality ratio is perfectible (2x12 competition offers in this price range).
    For those seeking a combo that sounds modern, I highly recommend his essay.

    It is easily a very good sound, even low volume, but it is the lamp, it sounds even better by pushing the volume .. rglages are fairly intuitive.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    It's ENGL, the reputation is no longer, the last is not the sound of the head powerball, but for a budget reduces the practical ct combo and the ability to play at home without the risk of alerting the police, the Screamer 50 is a steal!
    I hesitated a lot before choosing this amp (especially with the Hughes and Kettner switchblade 50) I think I made the right choice ..
    List price 1323 euros and 230 euros Z5 footswitch, we get about 1550 euros, I managed to get off 1150 euros (and I'm not very good bargainer) that the price should not be deprived c is great stuff!
    I use it for about 3 months and I'm still satisfied.

    Amp all lights as they say, 50 Watts sending wood.
    There is an effects loop, a connection for a z5 pedal (which costs an arm and dispensable if you like a pedal Boss FS 6). For references lamps, see the site builder I did have in mind.
    Settings of its usual two bitoniots for drive and distortion.

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple, one branch is played, the settings are quite delicate as sensitive on the other hand.

    SOUNDS

    In distortion, that the amp or via a dedicated pedal is simply a SLAUGHTER.

    SOUNDS

    In distortion, that the amp or via a dedicated pedal is simply a SLAUGHTER.
    Pop rock, punk, metal, it gives free rein to your savagery. The distortion of the amp is "grainy" and controlled the game is well made and faithful. Crunch is also very nice, crisp and responsive, and when you combine the drive and distortion, tell the neighbors that hard.
    Clearly, a lot of treble, you will be asked as a group to reduce because it can break the ears, with the setting of tone, no worries, add bass and midrange hop and voila. Note the presence of a Clean button you can push the volume of clean without it crunch.

    The effects loop, which can be adjusted via a knob presence behind the amp, complies with the modulations that you send, no worries, I personally could do without as plugging in frontage or in the loop, no I do not care.

    And I play with a Mustang and a Telecaster (Aerodyne) mainly above, and an array of Boss (DD20, SD2, CE 3, BF2) mainly.
    Beef up you: the amp weighs a dead donkey.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since 2006 and this is my first tube amp.
    At the time I had let myself be seduced by the sound reproduction, the distortion of the amp, his mouth (rugged and cool design) but with hindsight and experience, I think that 50 watts is already too much (for me anyway). A 30 watt would suffice.
    Amp great for distorted sounds, but for cleans sounds can be a Fender or Vox prefer, there may be lack of heat for that, because the Screamer is a beast of distortion you need to know prepare.

    UTILIZATION

    This gives a good sound right away, no gallery hours with the settings, the amp is very powerful, too powerful for home use without the vosinage shit if you are in the apartment. c j is a simple home test have one it breaks the house already, I am a local in 3, the power is phenomenal for a 50 watts. The manual is simple but enough, perhaps ca lack of such config, but given that we get a good sound quickly it s happening.

    one year APRS, I have an eq global regulations on: (my regulation of head) is on Gloss, bass: 8, medium: 6 Treble: 4, presence: 3

    SOUNDS

    I make heavy funk, c is the perfect amp for my besion, 4 cranberry, the clean sound is really good very clean, funk jazz as it sounds very very very good, clean not really vintage, but pretty typical 80s and a potato madness. A very good very punchy crunch, the two leads are typ Heavy-metal, with a beautiful grain and bcp gain, really a very good amp that I advise you to test absolutely! All sounds very good of her to clean hi-lead, very very warm sound and precise lead is not hard to say this, I jou ibanez team with a tone zone and air norton, c is absolutely perfect , very Heavy 80s as I wanted!! Amp supercharged very very hot and very clean

    A year APRS I now group 2 a funk band then, and an alternative rock band, I have test my amp with several guitars, the best sound that I get it with this amp is the strat + c, it sounds really Excellent with the single coil, Funk blues alternative to the big sound is fabulous, c is Excellent with the stratum, I will test well with a gibson anyway, at least for the moment the stratum with the ENGL is fabulous c . And the sound did not specially typ n 80's, it may be with ibanez, but I get it its alternative with the big sound without being typical mesa, the sound is more roots somewhere. In any case I'm not going to change amp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have the past week, I'm an outdoor concert next week, I'm not even sure I'll dub the sound of the amp so it is hard. J really loves his corn and cot very Heavy 80s. J got an old Marshall JMP double body biensur 100 watts all-tube, a fender twinreverb, and other trinkets, each amp has its charm and strength, the Screamer is the most Polyval amp that I got, ideal for the Funk 80's request to have a very clean sound Precut, warm, always clean, and a distortion which tears the walls with a single grain for ENGL boisterous chorus. 1320 the price list prices in France but are always ways to arrange with its dealer s. I do it again this choice without eSite for 3 main reasons his Polyval his single grain (we like it or not course) and c is a pke 50Watts (I do not want more than 100 watts). My only regret is that c is a 1x12 combo and not a 2x12, or I am 100% addicted to this amp.

    One year after: The day I put 10 have the sound I want. and once again I prefer not to have a 2x12 !!!!!!

The intrt of this amp is to get his sounds to the fingers.
    I had a mesa 22 +, a Carvin, a JMP1 Marshall, a Fender Hot Rod, a peavey 5150. I put in this small bte n1. A must. Exceeds the only one who is the Signature ENGL Blackmoore, but it is less convenient ...

    In terms of sound, depending on the position of the microphones, but overall:

    CLEAN it is brilliant, chattering, ultra warm and round in the neck position
    It crunch: actually not too tested
    LEAD it a little tight grain can sound fat or dry
    High LEAD tear it all! his big fat, big sound, dry and hot fat big sound! anything goes!
    You really can do everything with this amp: Nu metal, black, death, grind, prog, heavy, blues, jazz, rock, power

    Of course you have to like the rendering of Vintage V30 (Celestion), which delivers a strong low - high medium (open combo)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 10 days
    the -: weight, noise-light high-volume, reverb a little light
    the +: sound, rugged construction, the many opportunities for connection in the back, the palette of unique sounds that can not make him spit, finishing, the beauty!
    I tried the randall, mesa's, the vox, the Marshall tube combo and it is this one that caught my attention!
    The price is very good as well under its jurisdiction.
    I would do this choice! I miss it more than a speaker and a pedal 12 * Z-5 and I'll be a happy man

    Then, the hi-gain channel, a wrong at all. Finally for my taste. When playing low volume, there is a espce of "fuzz" derrire sound, not enjoyable trs. If we increase the volume, is a garish trs. I have not AIM. Trs is acute and medium high. If we lower the knob of prsence, the "fuzz" means less and less is a bit garish, but the sound becomes too clump and is not good either.
    To be honest, I have kept this amp than 10 days. And during those 10 days, I spent my time trying to find the right rglage, not Russian but I find a sound that I really liked (in distortion). So I report to the store, and I took another amp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This amp was not too branch. I do not say that it is a bad amp, but it's not my taste. I did the "BTIS" to buy it without trying. J'tais confident APRS reading all the opinions that do say that good. But once the amp home, and I realized on my same sound, I did a little research on the internet and just by typing in words like cl "+ screamer screaming" I found many different opinions. And I realized that I not only think n'tais a.
    So I strongly suggest the well costs before purchasing. It can be a pleasure can not please. And for home use, it's not too a.
    So I took a Vox AC30cc1 instead, has had nothing to do, this is not the same style amp, but I finally found "the" sound to me please.

    I bought this amp 10 years ago. 50 Watt All Tube, 2-HP 10 (Celestion "Vintage 10") an adjustable effects loop, a spring reverb. 2 channels with shared EQ .... a presence control.

    UTILIZATION

    The E330 screamer pro blues is very simple to use and very robust. The clean channel is amazing .... the sound comes naturally ... everything is at the service of music ... with an incredible dynamic. Boosted channel requires a little more effort and needs to be addressed in more detail .... but I warn you ..... sent here ... always live with this dynamic .....

    SOUNDS

    This amp is very versatile and suitable for all styles of music ...
    connected to my GL sc3 vintage ... it's pure delight ...

    the real "more ".... is that this amp really respect the grain of the guitar ... ditto for the effects ..... now you have a guitar which sounds really ... and quality effects ... and there ... pure joy ... the 2-HP "10" will be in action ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    As I said before, I use this amp for 10 years. It stands out by offering to be above all yourself. I played on fender, marshall, mesa-boogie and I have seen pa time with the ENGL. The price / quality ratio is excellent ... and a reliability. in retrospect, I do it again this choice without problems.

    SOUNDS

    Ah! This is the heart of the criticism! Normal is an amp ....
    In good clean no problem, it sounds directly with any scratches clean.
    Drop a little right, some would say clinic? Can be (quoique. ..), but the result is still very good.
    The history channel is cool, but we did not "really" 4 channels. To take full advantage of it is also essential to buy the pedal ..... sold separately. Too bad.
    Then we came to the disto! Once again we get easily a good sound, headroom is good. However I am more surprised by what knob presence, which, if it is supposed to get you out of other instruments (to the solos in particular) to add a touch of the average, a rather unpleasant tone, "digital", metal, noramment solo. M'enfin, leaving the presence of a 3 to max, it's going well (below the sound is too muffled, and at least equalize it all, it will not come out)
    So for the distortion, a small problem with settings ... but for that price you can not have everything (I like it?)!

    OVERALL OPINION

    In short, this is an excellent value for money, the sound is pleasant rapidly, it is carefree whistling harmonics, you can really get laid, especially if we add a little equation!
    Note that by adding a 1x12 cab for example, we get more bass (there was a combo open ....) so it can also be interresting! I think about it seriously is ...
    But in any case, you can go there easily, I do not think you will be disappointed;)

    Possibility to switch with a pedal or Z3 Z4 of the same brand between its clear, two types of crunch and overdrive / distortion. An integrated reverb.

    UTILIZATION

    For any owner or user of a regular amp getting started is quick after all. It will count néanmmoins few hours fiddling with the knobs before finding a balanced sound corresponding to his musical aesthetic! It may be noted that for many tube amps, for that matter .. Amp transistors owners, be patient.

    "Gets it easy to sound good?" This is where experience plays, of course. The tube amp is virtually an organic being (heat lamps gradually age, the HP too;) the sound will change with the settings, automation etc. .. It will take several months of use in various situations (repeat concerts) before finding his SON! Néanmmoins can note that the clean sounds are brilliant and accurate when the distortion is large rock oriented frankly see metal according to the settings.

    The manual explains the specifications of the machine. Paid users to be inspired to make the best of the beast.

    SOUNDS

    - Will it fit your style of music? Yes, I am lead guitarist in training power pop / progressive.

    "I played with in a '67 Gibson Flying V and a Mexican Fender Stratocaster.

    In his clear-I boost the sound of the amp with a compressor pedal that Marshall does not alter the purity of the sound of the amp. Extremely precise clear sound. I leave the knobs at 12 o'clock for all my sounds, except highs (treble) I decline to 10 hours because the screamer is screaming in the treble. Hence its name, just be aware!
    In an MXR distortion j'utilse double shot distortion, which allows me to equalize my distortion from the pedal without touching the amp settings. Sometimes I used the distortion of the Screamer (I have the pedal dedicated Z5) but I find it a bit messy with a high level of gain.
    I love the clear sound, very successful, accurate and beautiful. The distortion is oriented native metal, for sure. Néanmmoins added with a pedal in its chain of effects you can sculpt the sound at will.
    I do not hate nothing in the sound of this amp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this amp for six months in rehearsal and live.

    - "What is so special that you love the most, the least?" This is most of this amp is definitely value for money. There are or Fender amps Marschall more expensive and less efficient. What I like least, frankly, always given the value for money .. Nothing!

    I am very happy with this purchase and I put money aside while waiting to buy a 4 * 12 cab has plan to cut the same brand.

    * Output for speaker supplmentaire: existing

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration can be very simple and too simple, even when it's a shame to have only one legalization, although we get a good sound with 4 channels easily. To beginners can be a little if we do not know rgler an amp properly. Here should be no knob tourn background, especially when you're used to transistor amp ... It is better to start with just 12 (mostly bass, middle, treble) and "sculpt" the sound its convenience.

    SOUNDS

    I am playing mostly metal: thrash, death, black and a little of everything (rock, blues, jazz, pop) and this amp does it all!
    The clean is super clean, slamming, clear, prcis. We can make it hot by playing with the legalization, the micro scratches and scrapes of Tone.
    The crunch is great for the old blues spot, I love. With a simple and microphone volume clean, the sound is almost clear with humbuckers, a good crunch.
    The low lead is great to go from a nice little crunch (microphones simple intermdiaire) a big hard rock crunch fawn with humbuckers.
    The high lead: it's the big avoinerie, send the cavalry! to go from thrash to black is done. For it is not against a Mesa recto distortion type is not trsnomtal is more prcis and compress but can do it too.

    The only default is to the metal in the rhythmic group, open a combo is far from being the IDAL. Better off adding an enclosure 1 12 * at least as ENGL 112V.

    I really like all the sounds.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 years and a half, the only default that I blame him is the fact of being open and a combo that I am a big nag who plays the metal group. So it was for me to sell because I invested in a head NOS DVL. But otherwise this amp is excellent, in the same price range, it's simple, there is no competitor other amps sound better in some records (for the clean fender?) But none as versatile.
    With the exprience and the same budget, I would do without this choice hsiter.
    ENGL live, long live the Screamer lol!

    Hallucination!
    Just to know what style of music you used it sounds very clear in his right, absolutely not hot, saturated, there is the sure gain, but then for the Blues and jazz rock Forgot c ' is not good. I was sold after 2 months for a Crate V3112 Tone Tubby 30 WATTS even more powerful than the screamer. The real sound, ca certainly does not sound at all in the same way but now you feel the lamps (with distortion, I often say, we feel that the soul will make every note sound so torn, dechire is the word.
    In short not an amp for me and not just be for you either ATTENTION
    It is very far from Mesa / Boogie.

    So in fact, I add this opinion because I have an older model 50 ... screamer That of the mid-90s, which has only two channels + reverb + bright contrast to the new model (previously chronicled here that 2x2 + channels reverb)

    The first screamer 50 has the same vintage look of good quality blues screamer as chronicled in these pages.

    Unlike the new version, this amp is not equipped with an enclosure but a celestion V30 Celestion speaker G12K85, sister of the legendary G12k100 the sound much warmer than the V30

    The settings are very simple (3-band equ, clean gain, gain lead, lead presence and a master + spring reverb of the most effective ones I tested)

    Down the "bright" gives a blow fishing solo, or compensates for the sometimes too serious / hot Les Paul type guitars over funky rhythm (for example)

    UTILIZATION

    In terms of sound, it's heavy! The 50 watts are more than fully recouped, such as repeat, I put it at 1.5 / 10 and it is more than enough to play with a drummer who hits hard, without losing too much momentum and the power of the lamps. .. But it is between 2 and 4 that lamps give their full capacity, perfect for live in a small room! From 2 to master the beast takes a grain of both fat and super accurate appreciated.

    I bought used without a manual, but it is nothing, just turn the knobs, but also sensitive, allowing settings moults

    The dynamics are impeccable, the speaker responds to the quarter-turn ... on the other hand should spend some time on its settings for the ITS, because this little wonder can really different personalities to express themselves. I play in a style that can vary from jazz to hardcore way No Means No, and it fits very well in two styles ...

    A little research with the knobs you can go from crunch to the angry AC / DC, close to its full bass to Panthera ... It may be somewhat limited in the more extreme styles (grind, death metal etc ...) with good pedal Although everything should work out.

    SOUNDS

    For me it's the perfect amp, I fell in love the first fifteen minutes, power and light, noise and blues ...

    I play on a guitar and a Sportster Italia Ibanez EX, I just added an old analog delay and a flanger DOD in 1979 (also analog) In order to vary the pleasures ...

    The sound of the amp meets each of these two totally different guitars to the grain (the Italia guitar is a typical pure Les Paul, Ibanez and Ibanez is one of ... 90 years, so suited to his super fusion Funk / Metal to the Red Hot / Infectious Grooves) The two get along well with guitar amp ... roughly the fucking amp, he walks to death!

    The only downside, the sound of the amp, no adjustments may seem a bit "runny" in distortion (as Marshall), but once mastered the beast, it sounds the thunder god, bold but precise, loud but heavy! The clean sound is warm and very clear if we played on Gibson and super crystalline or very slamming on Telecaster guitar genre or Start (beware of sharp piercing of ears)

    OVERALL OPINION

    In general, what about ... this amp is a blast, everyone (pros and non pros) who play rock and that I did try asked me if I would sell them on (and in the heap are those that affect Mesa Boogie, Fender Hot Rod, Hiwatt etc ...) so they're excited by the beast ... I do not sell (except death threat) because I think I have found the perfect balance between raw power and portability, its shimmering light and saturation sick ... This amp is everything a 50W combo may work better!

    Newer models are much more of screamer Screaming Metal and focused, while the latter is much more "RocknRolla Spirit" while having to sell its wholesale to those who really want ... All that to say that there is a difference between the two versions, and I much prefer the old to the new because of its wealth and grain ... The settings are probably more difficult to obtain, but the end result is final!
