All user reviews for the ENGL E330 Screamer 50 Combo

All aadj t say!

UTILIZATION

It's a combo that will essentially: rglages little but it is good. The two distos Embedded permit, with the legalization and rverb, to get a lot of sound.
All this requires a bit of time to find the DSIR but its worth it!
No need for manual, just read and put the hand to express pte.

SOUNDS

I use the amp sounds trs trs saturated light or (rarely for crunch). I connect over an Ibanez RG Series (passive micro unfortunately). Sometimes, I glue a 5-string bass and Whale is your exact INTERESTED trs (lack of precision in the bass forcment but made dense trs, trs puffy and dynamic) .

The sound is warm, clean, and rich prcis. Large distortions are very modern and that's what I was looking for! And again, I never use the amp volume adquate: in my home studio (and not nerver my neighbors), the volume remains relatively low and sounds dj. I guess its not the same I could get by pushing, j'espre have the opportunity one day.

Gnralement sounds obtained are bold but rglages Treble (Treble and Presence Lead) trs can go "away", at least enough to get close to crystal clear sound. But personally I do trs careful with the presence of lead because it can make the sound trsdsagrable (effect bee).

Now, I find a little box to the ramping to give the characters some instruments or sounds to saturate ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 800 used. It is heavy (about 28kg) and trs sound is a real bte!
I DCID to buy it because I could not get a good big distortion, or with pedals or with plugins or with the Vox AD30 VT XL-I!
This time I do not regret my investment: can not imitate the sound of this amp.
Sure, it's expensive but I think that is a report qualitprix honnte trs.
Do with his decision-this amp is a real rgal: with two or three microphones positioned in the mix what fun! ! !

I think I do it again this election ... ENGL Vive!
EDIT: APRS over a year of use, always a fan of this combo. What bte! ! ! Each time the fun is at the rendezvous. The hardest thing in the end is to correctly position the microphone or in front!

What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)? What is the power dlivre? What connection? What rglages the effects? * See other opinions ...

UTILIZATION

The configuration is it simple? Gets it easy to sound good? The manual is clear and sufficient? * ...
so we get a good sound trs directly but to have a excellent prvoir must work full combination.

SOUNDS

Is it your style of music? With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play? What kinds of sounds you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", " ",....) fatty what are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? *
I play with an esp ltd kh 602 an unspeakable Kramer I do not know the MODEL is too old but it's a very rock and roll. amp so it is very suitable for my style of music that is to say brutal death metal tech or tech gnrale and I needed a distortion prcise trs (this amp n ' did not sound found on youtube the video distortion is comprssmeme if it lacks a bit of gain just add a little qualo in the loop or a small overdrive pedals and it's killing complte I speak not too bright even if sound is perfect but I must admit that to be clear it is clear. crunches the (clean high gain) I the trs is not as much of an orange mlais trs good quality

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it and what is the particular feature you like best and least? Have you tried many other models before acqurir? How do you report qualitprix ? With the exprience, you do again this choice? * ...
I love all the sounds (+++++ disto ^ ^) yes, among other things a marshall avt 2000 trs of good quality but not enough distortion, but it's a good amp trs. brunetti an overtone that is perfect as 2 pramp but I needed an amp with a preamp not
a bad one worse Valvetronix ValveKing home peavey (nothing to do but really do not rotten excellent)

All tube amplification, with 3 lamps type 12AX7 in preamp and 2-lamp type 12AX7 6L6 + 1 (?) For the power amp of APRS site ENGL, dlivrant a power of 50W.

The brand offers four beautiful canals, with, front face, a common qualisation 3 bands (bass, mid, treble). A volume for the channel clean / crunch, and another for the lead / lead heavy, it also availing oneself of a rglage gain and presence (a gain for the clean / crunch have nice t but it passes easily). It also has a button for the "bright", which works on all 4 channels but also audible on the clean / crunch, then a rglage reverb. Everything is driven by a very good master volume.

Rear face, there exits HPs, a line out, an effects loop, footswitch, and finally taking the VLS, which is actually a second master volume rglage.

It all comes out on a V30 and weigh 23kg APRS site ENGL.

I put it 10/10, because the amp has a very connectivity tutorials.

UTILIZATION

Good has the plot thickens. To summarize this amp, I guess you could say that his philosophy is to offer as much as possible, while remaining the most minimalist and simple. We can say that it is largely succeded if one is not too perfectionist in its sound.

In use, the common qualisation arises, not too much between the clean / crunch, but when you go from clean / crunch to lead or lead to heavy, we may regret the absence of eq supplmentaire, clean with the fast trend of having too sharp, and heavy lead a bit too dark compared to the lead. APRS I think it's all the same widely playable live without touching anything, you feel the shades but they are really low, Manir Gnrale amp is heel its 4 channels. Besides 3-band equalizer is not very efficient, it retains the basic grain of the amp, and is mainly to allow the nuances. In the end it's quite an amp plug & play. Note the presence of a system that friendly VLS, which allows two DIFFERENT master, but at the rglage of this one is not too much has, and we quickly tend have a big big boost in volume.

My rating: 6 / 10, because I would have liked at least a second equalization, more efficient if possible, and a VLS usable.

SOUNDS

Okay so here's the most important point obviously. Previous my amp as a Superfield XD, I can assure you that there is a world in between! Moreover impossible for me to return to SCXD, while the sound seems quite nasty, it's horrible. Obviously this is not the same price ...

Commenons so by seeing the channels in order, and therefore the first Clean. Very very nice, I read here and that often the sound is very right, very ENGL. So yes it is right, but it mlodieux and beautiful, right in line with Fender, the clean is rather Fenderien at first, but the sound is like "well enveloppenroul by low round and sharp, therefore more dense, but smaller and tighter. Compar a Fender clean one can say that it is more gentle and pleasant ear, but takes up less space as if it was a little compressed. Anyway it is very good, all the same attention to the switch with bright pickups simple, avoid I think even for a funky riffs becomes a bit too steep. For cons with double it very useful. rsum In a good clean, versatile and clean.

And now the Crunch, which is my taste at least four Russian channels with humbuckers. Let me explain in simple, one feels that this channel is an extension of clean, but even the more "dirty", less bassy, ​​more aggressive, more crunch. But twice, we obtain a sort of drive rather dry, without sustain that its charm but I n'adhre not.

Then comes the Lead, probably the best channel. I really have no point of comparison, however, not really UK, not U.S. really is the ENGL, German What <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> We must try. To try to describe them, I guess you could say it is medium and fairly bright, versatile and very much back with rglage gain. We can get closer without worries of Led Zep, AC / DC and company, so it&#39;s quite a lead rock (low gain) / hard rock, but plenty of gain, enough ar and with good sustain, and especially, especially, a dynamic standard following the attack and the type of microphone, by changing only these two factors can go a clean a lead on the same channel!

Finally, the most straight forward <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" /> , Heavy lead! This channel is quite similar to the lead channel, but with much more gain, compression, and darker (if not in fact so similar <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> ). So for those who might wonder: "Could we do mtal with this amp?". Well ... adpend! Yes you can type in the problem without metallica example, but even when there is not plenty of gain. Beyond the study of 3 / 4 you do not feel really change the sound and touch, but against the feedback we start to feel good. The amp is very quiet and clean, but pass a certain threshold attention the feedback comes quickly, and no interest to share the kikitoudurmaxgain since the sound does not change. In short, this channel is very good, the distortion is very modern and clean, but the big big mtal better turn to something else.
In rsum level sounds, it&#39;s a modern amp, muffler, touches everything, good everywhere but nowhere perfect! Go a little 8 / 10!

OVERALL OPINION

It is now six months although it replaces my SCXD, and my only regret is not taking this amp ds beginners to enjoy it more than tt, I would do it without hesitating and choice he will not leave my house when I replace it with a head very high end. I like its sound, its versatility and simplicity. Final score of 8 / 10 So.

PS: Be careful though at the footswitch, to take full advantage of the amp must paste it ENGL Z-5, but the price is not given ENGL footswitch!
