New Amp day for me today. After a very hard choice deciding, I took a chance on the Engl Gigmaster 15. Not much info out about it, but it sounded promising. and it arrived today from Matts Music!
Will post more of a review as I get to try it out some more, but plugged in a strat and PRS with humbuckers into it, at very low volume. I like it thus far! Plenty of gain on tap, and I like how its laid out with the input gain and lead gain. You can push the clean channel just into breakup with a strat with input gain all the way up. I like the cleans too. Gain channel is nice. Overall this amp actually reminds me a bit of the egnater rebel 30, only a bit more modern sounding in the drive I guess. Rolling back the guitar volume works great on the drive channel.
The amp really feels great to play through. I think with some tube changes, it will sound better then stock. I have yet to try the efx loop. Will do later. Mid boost function is nice, allows you to achieve different mid frequency, I think at least through my cab, I preffered it on, and dialing the mids back just a bit on the eq.
Only real let down is that the power soak feature only works with the 8ohm jack. My cab is 16. While I believe it is a safe mismatch, going from 8 into a 16 ohm cab, it was a noticable sound loss using the 8 ohm out into 16 cab. The power soak works, but the amp sounds best to me full power. Good for late night playing, overall volume drop particularly noticable at 1 watt setting. Master works good though. I like the look of the amp and it feels like a solid build.
So far I am digging it. Will post clips later.
