Amp rack 2U
2 channels stereo
1 ECC 83 entry level;
By:
2 Control volume and two presence controls
Level amplification:
2 x 50 Watts (2 x ECC 83, 8 x El 84), separated by switches;
Outputs:
8 and 16 ohms per cannal stereo, a footswitch (not supplied).
UTILIZATION
Super simple setup and effective.
Being able to have two settings of presence and volume cannal allows me to keep my settings (volume quite formidable) to my recordings in another room, and you can play more relaxed when I want.
The sound is a killer. At first, I used a Peavey 5150 head, and later his power line, I thought it was terrible at the time. I then tried two generations of 2U Peavey 50/50, its already formidable. The Engl is definitely over, the sound is rich Armon, the grain of the preamp which it is coupled is now not aggressive ... excellent.
SOUNDS
Ideal for all types of music, preferably to the music probably more saturated (Heavy, Death Metal ...)
After the tour of my friends for information, the amps listed for comparison were tested with a TriAxis coupled to a G-Major, with two different Ada MP-1 (one modified), a pyran and is a VooduValve Line. In any case, it is absolutely dreadful with a preference in my opinion for the Ada changed and strangely VooduValve (the VooduValve is nice to listen directly to the cabinet, but pretty bad when recording with micro - very cold and aggressive -), with 840/50 super Engl.
Update: I now have a 570, and coupled to 840/50, it is by far the most extraordinary config I had. (Personal opinion only ...: after 6 years of Triax with different config amp high-end, I find that this set Engl kills Mesa both sound clear, crystalline, warm ... as distortion, different grain, but lower register better defined, less and less runny boiled, sliced more!)
Level guitars, microphones with test assets and liabilities (Jackson Kelly Us, Ibanez 540FM, ESP ...).
The sound is in any case very steep (especially with active pickups), but I think this just more of that preamp of the amp.
The dynamics are impressive. (Test with Marshall cabinet 800 4 * 12 with Vintage 50 Celetti, Marshall 1960A speaker cabinet, and cabinet ENGL Vintage 2 * 12)
OVERALL OPINION
Used for 2 months.
Purchased less than € 1000 new at Thomann.
Excellent value, a slap to Peavey and Mesa. Compare this with the VHT ...
