ENGL E310 GIGMASTER COMBO 110 - Irish International Cyberstore

Image


Mmmm, tasty little ENGL 15 Watt 2 channel combo! :drool:

From the few videos I've seen, it sounds extremely good, right up my alley. Packed with a lot of awesome features as well, switchable from 15/5/1 watts, FX loop, as well as a mid boost, and it takes a 2 button footswitch as well for switching clean and lead channels or activating the mid boost. Very, very cool for an amp of this size. I'm very, very tempted to get one.

It also comes in a head if you don't like the idea of 1x10 combos.

Yeah, no kidding, they sound really great in every demo I've heard/seen.
Totally, sounds absolutely awesome. Simply, this amp has me enticed at every angle, sounds, features and looks. It might be a little expensive, but I could probably swing it if I sold a guitar.:yesway:

^ You must do that :squint:
Nah, I'm too lazy. I'll probably spraypaint the tolex hot pink! :metal:

I'm sure a boost in front of that could get you some tight metal tones. Keep in mind he's playing a stock Strat too ;) It sounds like it would almost be too much gain for what I do :lol: The gain channel sounds great, but the "clean" or rhythm or whatever channel sounds amazing. Give me that channel with 2 switchable gain knobs and I'll be set.

Edit: actually, after watching that vid again, I must play one of these :lol: Preferably in head form :lol: I want to know how it sounds in person, mic-ed up, etc. because this shows potential for being more than just a "practice" amp.

Sounds like there's absolutely loads of gain on tap there, and if someone was playing it with a guitar with humbuckers and in a more Metal style, you'd probably have more than enough for bringing the brutalz out. I'd love to hear what it sounds like with my modded TS7 up front too. :D

I think my biggest dilemma would be going for the head or the combo... Getting the head and picking up a decent 1x12 cab would probably sound the best, but the combo would just be fantastic for carrying over to a friend's house or studio to play. It's extremely tempting from the standpoint of mobility, and sure I've got the Invader for making the big noise. Decisions decisions.

That does sound really quite good. I'd love to try one.

Problem is though, that price is getting right into "real amp" territory. I'll have to reserve judgment till I actually play one though.

Yeah, the price is certainly not insignificant, but (in Europe at least) it's really not much more expensive than similar amps available and has better features/tone to boot. I already have a "real amp" though, so I guess that doesn't bother me too much because it's not as if I'd be looking for something bigger.
