Yeah then you have all these custom alnico cabs in the bottom to redfine in design with an attenuator tech from canada since, you can then mix with the regular 2x12, in a separate 2×12 cabinet on the very top, and the equalizer module, all at once, along with the added neo copper in a 16ohm input in his apartment cabinet (your moniter), and various, small changes with pedals in the loop, with a noise gate in both the loop and front in put to kill the buzz from the guitar input I to the Amp, then just crank it by .4 ... and rescue hum from the eminence...Making axe fx, effectively completely obsolete. You'll play the same amount, and we aren't sent even sure how they work. It's an industry standard now. Then produced by someone. Engle clean is too dark, you have to mix it with orange, British clean, but in the harmonic scale, it sounds good..Oh they put your own cabinets on V-30, don't worry for me and I have to order custom ones, 3 custom ones.
Marco good seeing you again at this years NAMM show, also I just picked up an Invader 2 which I should of done a while ago and I should of listened to you. Hope you still someday make the tour here in U.S. especially Texas. Love my new Engl, have a great day!!! Chuck
Hey Chuck! Great that you picked up the Invader 2. I think it´s the ultimate amp and I´m glad you are so happy with it! Enjoy! Hope to be back in the states soon again -Marco
I tried few days ago Engl screamer 50 and it has the cleanest, precise, one of the strongest gains i ever heard. I still thinking to buy it...for heavy, thrash, death metal...1st class amp producers...if someone deicide to buy engl he will make perfect decision...But im now in dilema, becouse i just both randall cabinet (rd412) and i own an randall t2hl, so now im in doubt between rd diavlo 100w amp, and screamer 50 :////...price is the same, just that the screamer is 2years old and diavlo is new-bouth 700eur... :
Xander Rose Hey Xander, I'm likely going to be selling mine. It's legitimately in excellent condition. Just need to downsize to a smaller, lower weight, lower wattage amp. Let me know if you are interested and somewhere in the USA!
I have a question regarding the tone in the solo starting at 0:52. Could someone give me any advice on how to recreate this kind of, I would say, nasally warm midrange tone? I have the Invader II and H&K Triamp II. I've tried several guitars, ESP, Gibson LP, tried EQing, but I can't quite get there... I've seen some more Invader II demos with similar tone. My Invader sounds quite open and not really like a typical Engl amp, even with the "Sound" option on. I've never played a PRS, could it be that it's simply the combination of the PRS + Invader?
Hello Nefayuki! It´s the guitar, the amp but first and foremost the tone in your fingers. It´s about your playing identity! Nobody sounds like you and that´s a wonderful thing. The PRS (A Custom 22) is a very diverse guitar that fits very well to the Invader II. It´s a great combination for sure! Hope you enjoyed the video! Best, Marco
I have an Engl Victor Smolski coming to me tomorrow, and I was already thinking that I want to send it back for the Invader ll. But, so far, without the sound wizard, this amp sounds great, but too warm for my taste. If for some reason I don't like the Victor Smolski amp, I'll just go with the Richie Blackmore or the Fireball 60.
Einfach atemberaubend! Exzellenz im Spielen und Ingenieurskunst auf dem höchsten Niveau! Unglaublich... Ich spare gerade alles mögliche zusammen, um mir dieses Meisterstück zu kaufen. Marco, würdest du sagen, dass der Verstärker wirklich für jeden Gitarristen DEN Ton beinhaltet? Denn es ist wirklich ein Batzen Geld und ich würde gerne das bekommen, was ich mir vorstelle nach den ganzen Invader II Demos: Einen absoluten Traum-Amp! Würde mich über eine Antwort sehr freuen! LG Tom
I have a question about the invader 150. Is it possible to toggle either high gain, bright or master volume a/b functions on or off etc using a single button? I can’t find cc or program commands anywhere that correspond to these functions, just channel switching. Any help would be appreciated!
Ich selbst habe den ENGL Fireball 60 und es haut einen weg. Wenn man für den Fireball 60 schon nen Waffenschein braucht.. was zum Geier braucht man für den Invader 2? Marco, du bist ein Virtuoso! BITTE bleib so... und... mach uns weitere ENGL Demos und Reviews bitte :)
The sound that has the Invader with the PRS is awesome. Great track the song with the "21 Octayne". I would to know what pick up do you use in the PRS. Thanks
Hello there! In the bridge position there is a Dimarzio Steve Special and in the Neck the Dimarzio liquifire! You can find more information about 21Octayne on our facebook page facebook.com/21octayne
Lieber Marco! Ich kann mit ENGL nix anfangen aber du rockst damit total. Wahnsinn. Ich hab dieses Video gefühlte 100mal angeschaut wegen den super Riffs und Solos. Hab euer neues Album letztens gekauft. Die Solos könnten im Mix etwas lauter sein. Ansonsten super Scheibe. Weiter so! Wann kommt das nächste?
John Marston Vielen Dank für die Worte und schön das Dir das Album so gut gefällt! Das 2.Album kommt wohl im Herbst 2015! Bzgl. ENGL Amps: Glaub mir, auch Du wirst dich früher oder später in einen Amp verlieben! Versprochen ;)
Marco Wriedt Freu mich drauf. Wie seid ihr eigentlich auf den Bandnamen gekommen? Bezgl ENGL: Der Invader II hat für mich zu viele Regler und Knöpfe. ^^ Trotzdem hammer HiGain. Finde den alten Fireball mit 60Watt und der Chromfront ganz gut. Das ENGL eine der wenigen Firmen ist die noch Rack Equipment bauen find ich klasse.
Die "21" steht für das 21.Jahrhundert in dem wir leben und "Octayne" leitet sich von "Octane" ab und soll Kraft/Stärke symbolisieren...Also ein Rock Statement für das 21.Jahrhundert! facebook.com/21octayne
fantastic sound and amazing skill. i just recently sold my Orange Rockerverb 100 because 100 watts seemed like to much for what i was going for. after.hearing your demo i would love.to.ask if it sounds good at lower volumes for recording? i was initially going to buy a Orange Rockerverb 50 but is it worth it to save for one of these? I play everything but have a punk rock and metalcore sound with some funk and blues thrown in.
Hello Mitch! Yes, the InvaderII sounds great even at lower volumes! My number one amp choice! Perfect all kinds of music not just Rock or Metal! Enjoy, Marco
Marco Wriedt Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! I really do appreciate the feedback. At this point and time of my life i can not afford this amazing amp but if i start saving now maybe by the end of the year haha. its definitely on the list of dream gear
Dreams can become reality Mitch! Good luck with it! The INVADER II is build for many years of playing pleasure. So, when you get it, you know that you will enjoy it for a very long time! All the best,Marco
Marco Wriedt Thanks again Marco I want to ask one last question in your opinion, is there any advantages in going with the invader 100 vs the 150? The 150s seem to be less expensive used. But the invader II here has the bright switches for all 4 channels. I currently have a diezel herbert and am thinking about selling it for an invader.
Hi Marco, vorab: erstklassige Fähigkeiten an der PRS! Hätte jedoch 2-3 Fragen bezüglich des Amps hier im Video. Waren die Sounds, welche du sehr eindrucksvoll demonstriert hast, schon mit dem Z16 Sound Modul "angereichert" oder sind dies die reinen Sounds des AMPs? Und: Würdest du sagen, der Sound hier im Video wurde im Nachgang mit EQ, etc bearbeitet, oder kommt dieser wirklich Live so rüber wie man ihn hier hört? Vom Mic abgesehen. Bin nämlich gerade sehr stark am überlegen mir auch diesen Amp zuzulegen. Vor allem wegen dem Sound bei 00:53 .. einfach killer. Cheers!
Hallo Gyork. Vielen Dank für deine Nachricht. Alle Sounds die du im Video hörst sind nicht nachträglich nachequed worden. Außerdem ist auch nicht das Z16 Soundwizard Modul aktiviert! Uns war es wichtig den puren Sound so gut wie möglich rübert zu bringen! Ich kann dir diesen Amp wirklich empfehlen. Ich habe ihn jetzt seit 2 1/2 Jahren und er ist für mich die Nummer 1! Alles gute für 2017! Marco
I have a Diezel Herbert on its way to me but a couple of other high end amps I'm about to sell... And I'm thinking I will either get the Savage 120 or this Invader 2, to pair with my Diezel Herbert!!! I think I'll be in amp Heaven for a VERY long time after that!!!!
+Alex Dattel I ended up getting the Savage 120 because I found one in excellent condition at an AMAZING price! And paired with my Diezel Herbert, I think it will be a perfect compliment in the high gain arena! BUT... If I end up selling the Savage 120, it would be ONLY to put money towards an Invader 2!! I was impressed with the Powerball when I tried it and cannot WAIT for the Savage to get here!!! Personally, for me and what I love, I don't think it gets ANY better than Engl and Diezel. The absolute best in engineering, standing head and shoulders above the rest. Thank you for your response, my friend!!! Needless to say, I'm INCREDIBLY excited!!! Hahaha Cheers! 😊
I'm completely with you. As a german I can't be proud of a lot of things from my country but the amp manufacturers are some. I'm telling you it's great to get the cheapest prices for german amps, living in germany. We have so much great stuff: Hughes & Kettner, Diezel, ENGL. Some day I too strive to buy a Diezel and maybe an Invader or a special edition head. Have fun in amp heaven ^^
+Alex Dattel Cheers my friend! I've been to your country and, being about 95% German myself, can say you have a lot to be proud of! All our countries have dark pasts, but Germany was one of the most beautiful countries I've ever seen! And the people are amazing and very kind! Thank you! I will most definitely enjoy the incredible strides in excellent German amplifier technology! 😊
Yeah german amps are just the best, hands down; and this is coming from an American who has to pay more for them lol. You got classic's like the ENGL Straight, Framus Dragon/Cobra, Hughes and Kettner Triamp etc.. and modern masterpieces like the ENGL Savage/Invader, H&K Blade series, Diezel VH4/Einstein etc..etc..
Best demo of Engl Invader II. Great sounds, from warm clean to the best high gain settings. Saving my money to get one. A dream Amp.
Hello Miguel! Yes it is a dream amp for sure! I hope you will get one soon! Best,Marco
Yeah then you have all these custom alnico cabs in the bottom to redfine in design with an attenuator tech from canada since, you can then mix with the regular 2x12, in a separate 2×12 cabinet on the very top, and the equalizer module, all at once, along with the added neo copper in a 16ohm input in his apartment cabinet (your moniter), and various, small changes with pedals in the loop, with a noise gate in both the loop and front in put to kill the buzz from the guitar input I to the Amp, then just crank it by .4 ... and rescue hum from the eminence...Making axe fx, effectively completely obsolete.

Wow Marco, your talent shines through all Engl demos. Keep up the great work and best of luck with 21 Octayne - great music :-)
+alastair wilson Thank you! That´s very kind!
that sound of channel 2 with everything off is to die for!
Yes, I agree! Amazing sound! Cheerz,Marco
ENGLS have such an iconic and unique sound. Would love to own one of these mk. 2s
Yes, absolutely!
Just watched this all the way through...........................awesome Marco :-)
+alastair wilson Thank you!
Marco good seeing you again at this years NAMM show, also I just picked up an Invader 2 which I should of done a while ago and I should of listened to you. Hope you still someday make the tour here in U.S. especially Texas. Love my new Engl, have a great day!!! Chuck

Love your playing on these videos, Marco.
Thank you very much indeed!
Sounds great
Head much good
Thanks Tone King 🎸😎
Great guitarist, great amp. Congrats from Turkey!
+Emre Güven Thank you Emre! The amp is incredible...Yes! Greetings to Turkey!
that lead tone on channel 2 is just fantastic.
well the whole demo is but holy crap, haha
glad you enjoy! It´s a fantastic amp. So versatile! All the best,Marco
Incredible lead tone!
Warpig of The Power I think so too 😉Glad you like it!
precise and clean guitarmanship ;)
Thank you :) have you ever tried an ENGL?
Marco Wriedt ... I'm stacking my chips for one right now bro.
It's his hands that make this tone so good
cappy from boston that’s very kind! Thank you!
Finally i own the Invader 2! I'm truly impressed :)
Great! Enjoy Nenad! Best,Marco
Thank you Marco! :)
You´re welcome!
Čestitam ti :)) uživaj
Hvala! :D

very cool !
Criss Fresno Thank you very much indeed 🎸
Oh yes, it *will* be mine. Like, I'm fucking in love with this amp.
Xander Rose Hey Xander, I'm likely going to be selling mine. It's legitimately in excellent condition. Just need to downsize to a smaller, lower weight, lower wattage amp. Let me know if you are interested and somewhere in the USA!
Am I wrong in thinking the dark upper mids of this amp, sounds similar to the Mesa Road King II (but of course with the Engl signature house sound)?
Yes, I know what you mean and agree!
I have a question regarding the tone in the solo starting at 0:52. Could someone give me any advice on how to recreate this kind of, I would say, nasally warm midrange tone?

Vielen Dank für diese Worte! Die Antwort ist "Ja" Thomas! Für mich und viele andere ist der Invader II der ultimative Alleskönner! Alles Gute,Marco

You could play that thing out in the county side country

Würde mich echt interessieren, welche Box genutzt wurde!?!

Is this all pure amp without a booster?
It would be nice to have the exact settings presented. :)
yes, it´s just the pure amp!

What's the song at the very start before the demo??? It's dope!!!
Have my phone 30th anniversary on it's waaaayyyyy
Anyone know the name of the songs that he plays in the beginning and also the 0:51?
Byung Snover The song is called "Don´t turn away" by my band 21Octayne. The album is called "Into The Open"...you can get it on Amazon/Itunes...
Hey, so, is the video for the sound wizard module out already? I couldn't find it.
Soon!
I have a Diezel Herbert on its way to me but a couple of other high end amps I'm about to sell... And I'm thinking I will either get the Savage 120 or this Invader 2, to pair with my Diezel Herbert!!!
I think I'll be in amp Heaven for a VERY long time after that!!!!
+iamlegend2366 I personally think these 2 are the best ENGL amps you chose there. I would go with the Invader but it's your choice with which to go.
