«  Sound of madness »

Published on 09/18/13 at 05:44
Amp head lamp 2 channels 20 Watts. The power stage is switchable between 20, 5, 1 W or off to play with headphones. Integrated adjustable reverb behind the amp (damage).

Control footswitch (not included in base) can: Master reverb + or Canal + boost

I regret it is not possible to have a more complete than the Z4 footswitch because at times can disable / enable the reverb seems to be as important as power switcher channel.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple and it is difficult to find a bad sound :) The manual, I opened it only to find out how to use the power switch behind the amp to be sure not to damage and explanations were very clear. I bought a pedal more Engl Z4 allows me to switch from one channel to another and to enable or disable the boost. Too bad it is not possible to have a more complete pedal also controls the reverb.

SOUNDS

I play mostly metal / rock / blues and the three styles I get the sound I want. It is very easy to spend a beautiful clear sound condition not to connect a guitar that sends severe because the amp is very sensitive to the instrument used. I switch between an ESP M-II, Gibson SG, Fender Stratocaster and the difference is very marked difference between these guitars. The effect of the amp loop is very useful and works really well. This is the first time I used this feature and it caused me no concern. What bothers me a bit is the setting of the reverb on the back of the amp.

For the moment I plugged it on my combos that are both 1x12 "but the sound and always excellent. (V30 and Celestion G12K-85)

I also played a lot of headphones with this amp and I must admit I did not expect that the sound is also good with. Suffice to say that it does not bother me to play with headphones and that's the trick of my girlfriend and my neighbors. I use a Sennheiser HD-25 for info.

OVERALL OPINION

This is one month that I have and for the first time I found nothing to complain about. I always liked the sound Engl and I really feel to have found my sound especially with my Gibson SG and the combo that to Celestion G12K-85. I'd love to test it on a 2x12 and 4x12 cab to see the difference.

Only downside for me: No + channels reverb control and adjustment reberb behind the amp.
