Adamante « Extreme versatility and efficiency. »
Published on 12/21/13 at 12:08I present to you my opinion on the amp I have now replaced my previous head (ENGL Savage Special Edition, on which you can also read my review AF): ENGL Invader 150.
I absolutely will not detail all the features of the amp. You can visit the site to get ENGL. But very quickly:
- It is an all tube amp, mounted with four 12AX7 preamp and six EL34 power: it gives him the power of 150 Watts claimed by name. In other words, more than enough to move buildings and houses an entire neighborhood ...
- It also has four completely independent channels: gain, bass, middle, treble, volume for each channel, two master volume and a control bass and treble at the power amp: Presence and Depth Punch.
- There are also two buttons, "Bright" and "High gain", which modify the curve of medium-treble on channels 1 and 2 for the first, and the gain (while digging a little medium as well) on for the second four channels.
- Two parallel series of loops effects / that can be selected independently of one another, can not put the two together.
- An integrated noise gate: but I do not use it ... so I will not go in my opinion, even if it is not excellent, while useful if you do it on hand ...
- The receiver can be controlled via midi: I use a pedal ENGL Z-15 for control (and it has the merit of being self-powered by the amp head) and my Tc Electronic G- plugged into the effects loop strength. Via MIDI, channels, switches and bright high-gain control on the choice of master volume, effects loops (loop 1: on / off or loop 2: on / off ... but not loop 1: on + loop 2 on ... shame ...).
- 25 kg, impeccable construction, aesthetics a little flashy with chrome control plate, and all faders and 10 lamps can be seen shining inside the head, retro -lit with a series of blue LEDs for a beautiful effect.
It is a high-end hardware, a remarkable quality.
