Very good review thanks Juan Petrucci!
@BLechuga Thank you very much!! you helped a lot! i'll try that and then ill upload it.
Hi There - thanks for posting this great test run of the E530! I was already sold on the pre, but looking for more examples of the response on different settings, Sure to get one of these very soon. Thanks for your efforts on this video. Best regards... PM
ENGL owes you big man, you kick ass. Nice work.
This is bloody fantastic!
Wow killer review/playing/tones !
Felicitaciones Lechuga!!!!
Great review dude
Excelente video compadre, tremendos equipos lo ENGL, y porsupuesto suerte con tu banda.
Salud !
Gracias por tu respuesta, debo decir que tu review me hizo decidirme a comprar este preamp y te lo agradezco mucho, pero tengo algunos problemas para elegir un power amp.
Saludos y buena vibra!
Excelente Benja!!
hace tiempo no veia nada de ti o Delta, se escucha de lujo!
You are a really great guitar player. look forward your band to be big
buenisimo el solo, felciitaciones
Just bought this pre thanks to this video and i love it! thanks!
Very nice playing!
Muchas gracias!
En ese video estaba usando la sección del power de un cabezal a tubos hecho en Chile por Alejandro Silva.
Ahora estoy usando un ENGL 840/50
Saludos!
Thanks for the awesome review, I'll definitely be checking out your band's stuff and purchasing one of these preamps ASAP!
Unfortunately, I'm strapped for cash right now and I only have enough to get the preamp; I've been playing through a Krank Rev. Jr 20 watt and was just wondering if until I get enough money to purchase a nicer power amp would running through the poweramp of the Rev Jr. work for now?
@BLechuga Thx for your help, You and G major 2 & Engl E 530 Manuals answered my question.
As G major 2 has 2 relays in 1 relay jack output, I could control Engl e 530 clean/lead and lo gain/high gain with a stereo cable from the G Major 2 relay output, but I would loose the other switch jack from Engl (preamp defeat and contour), but I could use Y cable from G major 2 output, but I would loose Gain and Contour control ;(, I think an amp gizmo could help for full control.
Cya!
Good review, Benjamin
Great demo, I wish more demo's were like this one :)
I love your style man!
Gracias nachoscud! Un orgullo saber que mi música se escucha en Uruguay! Ojalá puedo ir pronto a tocar allá!
Saludos!
What beautifull sound! Heavenly!
@BLechuga
yaa cuando lo tenga voy a probar de ambas maneras...
algun dia deveriai hacer un tour de tu rack gear, estaria bastante bueno para gente como yo que se esta armando uno :)
Gentee como tu me causa orgullo de ser chilenoo.. GRACIAS!
that may have been the best gear review I've ever seen. If I could, I'd like to ask for a more extensive review of the clean sounds, including playing chords. With a tele if possible.
EPIC TROLLING! XD Saludos Benja! Ojalá Pueda Verlos Tocar!
Youre such a bomb of a guitar player, respect!
@AnathemusVideos Every regular amp head is made up of two sections: the preamp section and the poweramp section. The preamp section is basically where your sound and eq etc comes from. The poweramp pushes the signal and drives the speakers.
The advantage you get from having them separate is you can get more diverse options when it comes to trying different combinations of pres and poweramps to get different tones
Really nice demo! the best for the E530!
Gracias maestro!!!
Holy shit great review!
Thanks for this awesome review. By the way great playing.
Thanks :D You can check other videos on my channel!
Benjamín Lechuga
I will, do you know if the Engl e530 + e840 is fully switchable with the rjm amp gizmo? Thanks for the info
I've never used the rjm amp gizmo. I used that same setup but with a tc electronic G System and it is totally switchable.
Benjamín Lechuga
Okay thats perfect, I have a G System too. XD
Portal of Sanity Great :D!
it goes to "RETURN" or "LINE IN" of guitar amp, then record via mic. it can also feed directly to recording device (without the speaker sound)
Best review ever man ;)
great playing
great demo
Cool pieces of music man!!!
i think im gonna buy this preamp just because of this review,thanx a lot!! :-)
Great video.
Shit man, you're an amazing player. That solo was superb. Such tasteful stuff. I am very tempted to get one of these ENGLs. Surprised by how cheap they are!
@BLechuga Thanks Man, by the way, awesome sound you got there!
The G major 2 has to 2 relays channels, but on the Engl e 530 manual, it says that the clean/distortion and lo gain/high gain are in the same footswitch jack, the other is for preamp defeat and contour.
I can´t say too much since I don´t have the unit, but I love the built in 1,5w power amps =D
@BLechuga That must be the difference I can't get the volume I need using the effects return from my old head so I've been using the line out, guess I'll have to get a new amp and see how it works. Thanks for the reply I've been digging your sound.
Well done Benjamin.
que mas te puedo decir poh amigo, felicitaciones, te lo mereces.
el eterno fan de delta, jose riffo
daleeeeeee ben!!!! me gusto muchissimo dese amp!
"preamp , poweramp and ... me " LOL thanks for the awesome video dude !
I never heard higher pitched voice from man in my life.Nice review man.Preamp works really good.
Dado -Lobster Dad Jordan Peterson does...
Excelente review!! Me encanta este pre, pero lo voy a usar con un poweramp solid state. Muy buenos los extractos de los temas de Delta, realmente me gustó y voy a averiguar más sobre la banda. Cómo se grabó el sonido de la viola en este review? Usaste los line outs o con microfono? Desde ya muchas gracias por tan completa y buena demo y saludos de Uruguay.
@BLechuga The decimator cuts out the noise between playing of course. I don't have the gain all the way up, but it is fairly high. I am using this for bands playing extreme metal, so gain is rather important! Music in the vein of Soilwork, etc...
@BLechuga No problem man! I'm really digging mine. Running it into the effects return on my JCM2000. It's fairly noisy on the lead channel (your heavy metal riffing settings), which is my primary use. I picked up an ISP Decimator pedal today to help deal w/that. Do you think different tubes might help?
Its just the preamp, the power amp, him, bass, drums, some mixing and mastering cool great amp I'll have 2 please.
What a good guitar player!
sounds gooooooooood!
filete el video lechuguin!!!!!!!!
@mgdth502 To make a preamp work on a half stack you will require a poweramp so that you will get the volume you need to play it loud if you're in a band situation. I recommend the Fryette 2/50/2 or the 2/90/2 also the Atomic Mono Block MB50.
Very good and full review! I have this preamp too, and fully agree with your words!
PS Great 7-strings guitar. Very good sound on seventh string!
That was wicked sick!
Would you recommend the e530, metalmaster, or ironball?
Btw your demo of the metalmaster was the most amazing thing I've seen in a very very long while, keep it up!
tight playing in the demo's man. cool progressive sound!
@eatthemoon13 Yes, you can do that! You have to plug the output of the Pre Amp into the Effects return of your Orange amp.
spectacular review...thanks a lot! me gusta! :D
@BLechuga Hehe. I've never had the gain all the way up. I am using this on some bands that need pretty high gain though. Definitely am loving the unit though. The Decimator helps, but there's more hiss than there should be in a decaying note/chord (high gain, knob near 12 oclock). Maybe non-factory tubes would help?
If you match up this preamp with a 100 watt power amp, it is the same (in terms of volume) as a 100watt head... the power (volume) comes from the power amp, the pre amp just gives the distortion, EQ, etc.
hola!!! pues excelente testeo eres un excelente guitarrista, una pregunta y va masomenos asi... que procesador es el que esta arriba del engl??? saludotes desde Méx.
@BLechuga I just bought it. It sounded brutal in the store with a cab and poweramp, I'm going to try it out with impulses soon. Hope it sounds as good as this! Thanks for the help Ben. :)
@Angsthyrkh You need to hook up the preamp in the FX Return of your amp (and plug your gtr in the preamp, obviously)
great tone man, i appreciate a lot your professional description in this video, i have ione question for you: in this video there'is a blue guitar head under the rack tuner, i cannot understand what model and brand is that head. if you could tell me the name of that head i would be very grateful to you. thanks and keep playing guitar!
Hi, concratulations, great review. may ask what tubes have the power section of your amp head where is the 530 connect?
@BLechuga Thank you so much for your time. I'm thinking of buying one of these and using it through a firewire interface with impulses and achieve the sort of tone you're getting here!
Am I being stupid? :P
BLechuga - Excellent demo and awesome playing. I have a couple questions. I have a similar rack set up and my first question is what are you useing in the power amp section? 6l6, el34, kt66, 6550 - other? my second question is, obviously the gain channels are far superior to the gt pro, how would you loop the pre amp in the chain and do you have any sound clips using the e530 pre, gt pro delay/flange and power amp.
thanks in advance for your guidance.
ScoojoX
Finally" a GOOD review!
Excelente review!!, qué power amp estás usando?
hey man! awesome presentation! cool sounds and playing of course! which cab and poweramp do you use?
Never mind my post Benjamin... I found a place in Denver that had one in stock and bought it :-)
Wena womh ta bien bueno el equipo, oye hace rato busco un video donde muestras un amplificador marshall donde tocabas un solo como siempre ajjaja
Saludos Davo.
