    This thing reminds me a lot of the Fireball 100. But with the Inferno, you get el34 tubes, and a separate EQ for each channel. Fireball has a presence knob, which I don't really need, because I always run an EQ pedal. The Inferno did sound very close to the 800 to me. But so did the Fireball. Thanks for another great review, I liked your little demo song too!

    I get a feeling that this is like a more streamlined Savage. Inferno doesn't have as many channels or buttons, which can be preferable for some players, since the Savage has so many features that it can give you option paralysis.

    sounds great. Has a great capacity for the mid-forward Marshall sound. The mids are bordering on being overly strident, but still great. Have you checked out the engl retro-tube head? It has a similar tone shift that boosts the mids into the Schenker zone. This is all very 2205/2210 inspired. Which was a pivotal amp for early Megadeth. Great demo.

    To me personally this amp sounds like Judas Priest.
    When you get the clean channel it has some Desert Planes vibes
    Clean with high gain and maybe gain boost, it just sounds Rocka Rolla
    The dirty channel sounds like the "basic" Judas' sound, basically Britsh Steel
    And the dirty channel with overdrive has that Painkiller vibe
    I know the sound isn't the same, but I don't why it had this feeling to me!

      a jcm 800 takes a guitar with a high-output microphone and overdrive pedals to boost even more, otherwise it's really not suitable for metal... for rock, yes, but no more. I love the tone of the engl stock the tone is sick and there is a lot of gain but if you want marshall mids you add an eq pedal in the loop and that's it and you don't destroy your clean channel unlike add overdrive pedal to marshall ... short for me engl is superior in everything
