Good luck getting $400 for any cab that's not a new Diezel too.

i would take a solid state gorilla over any of your pro douche engl diezxl fancy pants crap.

However your cheaply assembled overly priced amps like engl are run of the mill, not loud not even compeditive. sure you can get a "cool" look and "decent" sound but at the end of the day you just spent a couple hundred dollars more on a average amp.

That's because you don't care about your tone. You might as well play through a 10" practice amp and have it mic'd for shows. I'll sell you one for $200- save yourself $100. Sounds like shit, but what do you care?



Take a look at their artist roster; might make you think twice about how non-competitive they are. A fuck-load of people are using ENGL now. Off the top of my head I know, Muhammed from Necrophagist, Evergrey, Dimmu Borgir, Orianthi, Shadowsfall, Jeff Loomis/Nevermore + Chris Broderick, Dying Fetus, Vinnie Moore, Born of Osiris, Black Dahlia Murder, Michael Romeo (Symphony X) Soilwork, The Haunted, Darkane, Stratovarius, Chris from Scale the Summit, Matt from Decrepit Birth, Obscura, Ihsahn, etc.

That's a pretty wide variety of notable users. I didn't even know Sunn made non-bass amps.

Cheaply assembled? They're made in Germany by Germans- and they're far from run of the mill. When's the last time you played a Powerball, Savage, Invader, and SE? What's that- you haven't? Ohhh, you heard it from THEY. Yeah, they say a lot of shit don't they?
Not loud? that's weird 'cause anytime I play mine I cut through perfectly. Maybe that's because I know how to dial-in an amp though...an Invader150, Savage120, or any Powerball is going to be louder than your piece of shit no-tone s.s. poweramp. And I'm guessing it's a two channel one, so it's really probably only 60 watts per channel. I'm not going to go into the difference between tube and solid state, because anybody that thinks s.s. sounds better isn't a musician.
I don't know what you even mean by "compeditive" (not the misspelling but what you actually meant).

An ENGL isn't going to run anymore than a Mesa Mark V or Freyette (formerly VHT) or Hughes and Kettner. Depending on what you get, it could be cheaper. Face it, ENGLs sound awesome as fuck and look cool as fuck. And who the hell would want to play ANY amp from the '80s??? Not to mention a solid state, lol.

you didnt know sunn made guitar amps? so youre admitting for once you dont know shit? thanks.
a 10" practice amp? wtf do you think a gorilla is? dumbass. for someone that likes to regularly quote people and say "thats what i said' youre sure doing it a lot talking in circles and not saying anything.

dude, its all about what kind of jams you play. i think you're probably the only guy that posts on this board that listens to the bands you listed. if your going to be playing tinny, scooped mid bull-shit, then maybe an overpriced ENGL or Mesa or VHT is the way to go. i mean sure i've gotten a mesa/vht to sound alright but i'd rather have a sound city or model-t any day of the week. let that soak in a little brother. you should probably consider not being such a douche.

No one is talking in circles. You're an idiot and don't have a fucking clue about tone. Nobody in their right mind thinks solid state sounds good or is acceptable for live use. You listen to shitty bands that have shitty tone and you are attempting to replicate their shitty tone...thus you don't have a fucking clue about what GOOD tone is. I listed a wide VARIETY of genres of players that use just ENGL. The list is 100 times larger when you add Mesa, VHT, and Diezel.

Orianthi is on Geffen and you think they're going to let her go out and play some shit amp? Give me a break.

Tinny and scooped mids? LOL, you don't even play guitar do you? Nobody who plays ENGL scoops their mids you stupid faggot. Go be gay elsewhere.

If we are name dropping how about KRANK heads...DB helped make and use them holy shit they must be good WRONG. Name dropping means nothing at all, studio magic always helps and micing at a show. while you put your head on 5 to get half the volume my sunn concert lead gets on 2 and half. while not having clipping or any noise.

And no one would use solid state for live use!? Sunn is the ORIGINAL loud amps for concerts hahahah. then again varg what would you know, you play in your room and NEVER leave the house meanwhile spending 3k on a rig that is no better than anything else.
