This is why I like Engls. Easy to build 'reversed halfstack' :)

For me, the main parameters when deciding on measuring devices: - Manual or automatic range switching. I prefer manual, in the case of automatic you have to be careful that it is not annoyingly slow. - Maximum voltage and current ranges - Measuring of additional units, such as capacity...

I still don't have a flake finish guitar. It's because I can't decide what color I like :D Some yellow and orange guitars look great, but this red G&L has stunning finish too...

I don't buy anything from any generals since General Failure was reading my drives.

What would all those Marshall modders be doing, if there were no non-modded Marshalls? :)

I have never missed such a gadget on any of my bass guitars.

Yes, I tried that. Just with a tiny bump on eq in mids it significantly changed the sound to better one, IMHO.

I am not his fan at all, but I completely agree with him. It's his playing, their songs... You like it, or not. World is full of smart guys, who can outplay Kirk, Kerry King, you name them... But these underrated smart guys are ignored by the world for unknown reasons.

Times have probably changed. During my active era, we always had the rigs as loud as they needed to be. I only had a bit of vocals to the monitors, to hear myself and the snare if the drummer was further away on the big stage. No technician has ever determined the stage volume for us. I also...

I sold Satan 50 in a weak moment and I regret it very much.

I replaced the AHB-2B with an EMG81 two days ago. No change in amp settings, surprisingly big change in sound. I don't care about Glenn and his channel. But of the few his videos I've seen, the best one is about the photography :)

It's a great business idea, to sell sewer pipes to guitarists.

Good news is, that the Fireball has no BGA chips inside. Bad news is, that it requires some preheating in the oven, before playing it. If something needs to be fixed on it, disassembly will take let say 30 minutes. It's a simple amp. 20 or so Engls that have passed through my hands over the...

I've seen Fireball go down with a full stack. Nothing happened to it :). What does it mean user serviceable?

As I wrote, they got better at using thicker PCBs and better spacers. Otherwise, I don't think at all that they use sub par components, cables, etc. "Flimsy looking" is very subjective :cheers: .

I really don't know where these rumors about the poor quality of Engl amps originated. I suspect that this whole fuss was made by repeating a story about a Special Edition that scared the death out of a technician. I already had a bunch of Engls open, primarily for routine maintenance. The...

Why should Engl release that kind of video? It's doable. But who would do that just for fun? Have to release lot of pots, jacks, distance screws, some cables... Quite a hassle. But if necessary, it's not that bad. Other amplifiers would scare me more, i.e. some Egnaters.

100 Ohm 5W

Make sure the amp is disconnected from mains. Turn power and standby switches on. Be sure there is no voltage left in the amp. You have a probe, it should show. Check tube socket contacts first. Tighten them a bit with small insulated screwdriver, toothpick etc. If you have a ohmmeter, check...
