Which ENGL is your favourite?
Which one is your favourite if u had to pick? Your guitar playing is sic af 🤘
@@militant6660thanks man! Fireball just wins it for me
I have the rack preamp 530 and 570. Both are excellent for technical death metal in my opinion. The 530 is dry and super tight, but the 570 is more brutal with the gain and tone shaping options. I want a Fireball though!
@@deafleopard337 never tried those, would highly recommend the fireball
Even though I'm not a black metal fan, but if I were I think I'd prefer the Powerball since it sounds a bit more raspy and raw
20 minutes of sheer black metal riffage onslaught!
haha thanks man x
great video brother!!! i just recently picked up a fireball 100 to pair with either my mesa mark IV or mesa badlander 50W in a stereo rig...i must say the fireball is a beast...cheers all!!!
Both amazing but the Fireball delivers the ferocity which in my opinion should set black metal apart from other styles of metal. And how good do those Deans sound?! Simply Yes!
Dean + ENGL is an INSANE combo
I've got the Fireball and love the high-gain channel to death. The clean isn't Fender, but quite usable for the limited clean playing I do. I almost bought a Powerball, but it has just too many knobs. I'm the kind of guy that can get really lost in tweaking and get no guitar playing done. The Fireball's simplicity and tear your face off gain us the winner for me.
Holy smokes, look at that gear. Great riffs!
I own the FB100 and its my absolute favorite amp ever.
Based on this video comparison, the Fireball sounds like there's more gain, more mids & in your face. Powerball ii is more dispersed distortion, a tad less on the mids, nice & even. I usually lean towards the Fireball but Powerball ii is really close.
Nailed it man
I have a little battery power marshall like the one you have on top off your guitar cases!! have you ever done a vid on that one!! BTW it's the ENGL PowerBall II for me!! I have the PowerBall one in my Amplitube Daw and its Mean AF!!
powerball is brutal
If we look at most comparisons, reviews and feedback, the one common thing that is said about the Fireball 100/25-the post 2010 models-compared to all other ENGLs, is that they sound very “pissed off” and raw. Pure aggression in its simplest and undiluted form.
That said, when it comes to recording and processing the audio, certain modifications can sometimes be done to the signal to fine tune it in the mix. This is where amps like the Powerball II have an advantage. It doesn’t lack in overall aggression and gain, but it’s definitely smoother and tamer for mix usage.
I have to ask. Did you use the mid boost on the Fireball 100? If so, then did you also use the mid voicing boost on the Powerball II with the dial cranked a bit? This wouldn’t make a difference to the rawness factor in either amp, but it would give them a somewhat similar low mid elevation. I did find that the Powerball II sometimes sounded a bit more open with a wider range.
You’re right man
No mid boost activated on either amp, it did thicken the sound on both amps but with the Marshall cab it made the tone muddier, added ‘flub’
@@DevGohil Absolutely. Speakers in particular can have a sizeable impact on tone and how the voicing plays out. Some of them can over-accentuate aspects of the low end and mid range to the point where they don’t sound appropriate for one’s aims. I could imagine a feature like the mid boost sounding a bit too muffled through certain cabinets.
I asked about this because there was a mild difference with the Fireball 100’s ferocity being very focussed and condensed, right at the front with that sizzling top end while the Powerball II sounded a bit more open and broader with the sizzling aspect of the top end being smoothed out a little.
Personally, in most speaker combination cases, I don’t even use the mid boost as I think the taper on the mid dial is behind great to get a searing mid range snarl out of the Fireball and I’ve put it up against amps like the Peavey 6505 and the EVH 5150-III where it hasn’t just held up, but stood out with that burning top end and heavy low end - almost like a boosted rectifier. Hell, I just use the mid boost to give lead sections a slightly different voicing so they provide contrast to the standard tone.
Anyway. That’s some brutal riffage in the comparison that sells on its own! \m/
@@kadestorm you're 100% right, these ENGLs are very 'dark' sounding amps, whereas it's competitors have brighter, sometimes harsher more cutting sounds, though live, somehow i find that darkness in the low end helps with the live mix a lot more, since high frequencies are all over the place
@@DevGohil Well said! Dark can be great, so long as it isn’t to an excessive and detrimental degree. Gives a fuller sound in addition to the high end.
@@kadestorm Live, my guitarist used a 6505 mini and i used my fireball and it just hit the spot everytime
ENGL should really send you some Amps.!You are doing great work for them. 😊
Never heard such nice extreme Black Metal Tones from that amps. I am really looking after a Fireball now.
👍
One day hopefully 🙏
Sick riffs man. I just got the fireball 100. What were the EQ and amp settings you used for this video?
I cant rememebr the setting for this vid hahah
I dont use too much gain, mids i keep in the middle, treble and presence are pushed. bass is under halfway
Cabs make a big difference, my MF400A is very mid heavy
I have my sights set on the savage mk2 but now I’m conflicted with the fireball 😅
yet to try a savage mk2, hoping to feature one at some point
Yes! I’m looking forward to it
Love your style of content
thank you!
That riff around 15:28 sounds like Nile. Badasss!
hahah, it's one of my band's riffs
Have the fireball 100 also mf280 and mf400 killer cabs (with diferent speakers)
I really like the powerball but I would choose fireball to play a gig
both powerball and fireball are killer amps
Both amps are good but the Fireball feels like it extends slightly higher up the frequency spectrum which makes it sound clearer and more open, where the Powerball doesn't produce as many sizzly highs, but punches harder in the mids. The Powerball has a great clarity to it but overall I think the Fireball sounds more satisfying to listen to.
Well played Sir!!!
Thank you my dude
Hi buddy i like them both but i just prefer the fireball,iv got the first edition fireball it sounds awsome
Keep up the awsome metal work
\m/
thanks a lot man, the fireballs are awesome
@@DevGohil your well come dev \m/
Just here for the riffs ♥️🎉🖖 (Btw ENGLs are great 😀)
with your pickup signature Pattersonic ( i love It !!! ) i prefer the fireball !! it s my preset ( ltd 1000 with pattersonic pickup ) and headrush pedal board for live , and that make a weapon of black destruction !! !! and i am very fan of your playing ..... !
awesome! Thank you
Both are insane and very close, but the Powerball 2 manages to stay more articulate in high gain for chords.
Great video!!! Do more dissection 🤌🏻
I'm not particularly fond of the Marshall Mode Four (MF) series, and to be honest I thought the Powerball sounded terrible with the Fireball not sounding all that great either. However, that combination (Fishman PUP --> Dean Dime --> Fireball --> MF400 had a nasty raw growling tone. The Powerball sounded good through that combo as well, but it's still too flubby on the low end. Anyone tuned to Drop C or below would need some serious EQ to ATTEMPT to tame the Powerball, especially through an active PUP. In conclusion, the Dime equipped with the Fishman PUP through the Fireball was F'n NASTY and RAW. So Fireball all day everyday!!! Lastly, thanks for doing the demo bro 🤘
Yeah if you wanted that SUPER TIGHT tone you'd have to tweak the sound a lot
I dont go for it personally, i do like a 'growling' amp
Man they both sound incredible but if I had my choice I'd prolly grab the Powerball. To me it sounds like it's got more clarity and articulation. At the same time, the Fireball just sounds like a fire breathing beast. Impossible to go wrong with either of them.
Haven't tried the fireball yet but I'd probably take it anyday over the Powerball. Had a powerball 1 and absolutely hated it, the only good thing that amp did was facilitate a trade between it and my beloved JCM800 🤣
damn, i really like the powerball 2, it's got a low end kick that other amps dont have
@@DevGohil that's what ENGLs usually have, which is cool, but the PB1 was suuuuper muddy. The 2 is just a bit honky but it's cool otherwise. I had an 840/50 poweramp from ENGL and I really liked it, highly recommend that one if you wanna use it with preamps like the E530 or 870
try the ENGL artist edition! It sounds like a really really pissed off JCM 800 and super tight too!
@@deafleopard337 sounds awesome, gotta try getting my hands on one
Bathory guitar tones please
dev brother what riff is that at 5:43? Sounds amazing
just some improv
@@DevGohil You should TOTALY make a song out of that, prolly one of the best riffs i've heard in a while
1:45 - 2:02 got me feeling some type of way
Fireball 100 hands down!
very informative
nice playing dude! what tuning are you in?
All standard
Fireball all day 👍
