UTILIZATION

Tested for 1 h at the store with my personal guitar a Hamer XT series Dimarzio DP 100 mounted to the bridge and a Seymour Duncan SH-4 split the handle, all on a mesa boogie 1x12 speaker cabinet correct then the headphone alone.

Usage is fairly simple 10 min to digest everything and understand the logic of the knobs.

I go into detail in the Sounds section.

The manual I downloaded from the website but personal ENGL is useless apart how to connect the HP and other elements correctly.

SOUNDS

Playing mainly in the registry Hard Rock, Heavy Metal and metal but also blues rock I wanted to see an amp has all the lamp and can be used at home in your room without making rage neighboring versatile faith. ENGL short answer is everything.

The speaker:

on the channel clear accurate sound and it does not own net forgiving games. We arrive to obtain a broad range of sounds and playing with the knobs on the guitar pickups. If you gain a well mounted versatile crunch we get to kick the rock record DEEP Purple and another group of 70. By activating the boost of the clear channel is a well-muscled OD for the Iron Maiden or Judas Priest.

On the Drive channel on how to feel the beast that wants out of the cage always clean, crisp sound that will tickle the metalheads. engage the boost and the hairy black eyes to be filled.

The headphone:

The headphone of the store was not as high-end speaker, but the sound is still good and does not in any way effect "transistor" to repeat quietly at home is the foot.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried a few amps before H & K a Marshall but particularly hang. ENGL was the perfect weapon to my expectations:

Versatile.
a headphone to play quietly at home.
a power range.
small handy and robust (thank you German quality)
and respects your guitar really well. It does not distort the sound. If you connect a TV SS him you blues and rock. And ESP with EMG 81 it's heavy metal. (Just normal ...)

Around 9 because perfection does not exist :)

A personal as I tried the H & K TubeMeister 18 combo but not too focused on fairly neutral was much warmer and creamy its not really to achieve extreme sounds.

The +

Everything has been said

The -

High price € 900
No footswitch comes with the price I find it disappointing

I think bought this little bomb next week hoping it has not already been sold.
