This is it. The best metal amplifier ever created. We can all stop looking.
I’m right in thinking this sounds insane right? No boost, no post processing, raw tone… Maybe the best midrange I’ve heard
Sounds like a perfect high-gain monster for the studio. You can basically work the knobs and buttons until you find a tone that needs little to no post-processing
Their special editions normally have an analog effects sweet including a built in tube screamer. This looks like a full sized fireball se with even more.
You're not wrong. Marshall JVM (Greenbacks), Caparison REV G20, Framus Cobra and this ENGL SE are my favourite demos Ola has done so far.
I used a powerball 2 for a decade live and in recordings. Best amps out there.
Oh hell yeah 🤘🤘🤘!!
Bought my ENGL SE670 EL34 back in 2009 when Jeff Loomis and Chris Broderick used to play them, and my journey of searching for that dream tone ended right there! This Amp is so versatile and sounds so beautiful right out of the box that I can't imagine having anything else in my plethora of song creation, other than synths which is a totally different realm. Absolutely the best purchase I ever made for my music gear 😊😊😊
Love it. Every little button on it actually changed the sound to a degree you can hear and appreciate, unlike a ton of other amps. Also, can’t wait for them to release the super limited “Edition” Edition of the Special Edition Founders Edition 🫨
This amp is the GOAT. You can even play a full gig on just the crunch channel using the guitar's volume knob. Using chanel switching, midi and the plethora of switches sends you to another dimension. Highly recommended for any style of music
Ola is insane creating riffs
100% agree!
Any band would happily *PAY* him to have such great riffs as a starting point for new songs... 😎👍
Yeah, no shit, I love and hate him for it all at once, lmao😂😂
I'm here for Ola's riffs
I never heard such beautiful tones in my life. I'm saving up for this Amp. Nothing else matters now.
lol
Do it, you won't regret it. Best amp I've played since I picked up a guitar 35 years ago.
4 grand 😂
ENGL makes such amazing sounding amps! For me too lead 1 is all I need, it is so tight!
This amp sounds tremendous, thanks for the great demo Ola!
Thank you for the presentation of Engl Special Edition. Hammer sound.
I remember when the guitarist in my brother's death metal band bought an Engl and it completely transformed what they were doing. They went for fizzy to having so much guts clarity and volume. Just overwhelmingly lush tone, whether chugging or tremelo-ing or even more muddy black metal chord sections. It just adapted to whatever the player wanted perfectly without compromise.
Your story sounded like the history of Muhammed from Necrophagist.
Now I'm thinking maybe you're his brother who helps him on his journey.
Sorry. Lol😅
@@RMZ-GTR7 haha, sadly not - although their EP is great. If your search Revokation The End Ablated here on youtube you'll get it.
THIS is the type of content I'm always looking from Ola. Thanks for bringing these reviews and sick riffs back! :D
Thank you soooo much for this one. I find this amp to be mind-blowing must have. Gorgeous deadly tones.
This makes the flaps moist.
What an amp - great testing, Ola!
ive been playing my engl since 13 years now - got it second hand, its around 20 years old now - NEVER let me down, and ive been playing the living shit out of it in live shows or practice. its the perfect amp for everything i need.
German stuff is badass! I have a Diezel, ENGL is probably next on my list.
@@AD1978leo if you havent - check out "lichtlaerm audio" - the dude is producing quality pedals, build like a tank. the "gehenna" pedal is one of the greatest highgain monsters of all time!
Sounds bad ass. Especially your sick riffs. You always got some really cool riffs
When I needed my first good amp, the Fireball's sound impressed me way more than the 5150s my friends kept talking about. Then I heard the Savage and had to have one - it completely blew me away. When shopping for one used, I lucked into a bargain Special Edition instead. It's just the perfect amp for me, and I'll never sell it. I can very much relate to and understand the faces Ola makes around the 5 min mark playing with the switches - pure riff chug satisfaction! After many years with my SE, I still get that feeling every time I turn it on.
Welp, the dual rec has been my dream amp for years, now this takes that throne.
Your cab and mic config sound awesome! Great demo!
Yeah Ola love your chops your technique is very developed one brilliant riff after another - and this amp is sick
Just ungodly tone. Tremendous. Cheers to the creators. 🤘🏻🇺🇸🎸🔥
The additional camera at the headstock of the guitar is an excellent addition to the angles! It's not in any of the other shots, but it's there in its own take, if I had to guess how you did it. A brilliant and captivating way to begin the video, I must say!
SICK!!!! I've been wanting this to come back! I hope the preamp comes back too, there's a lovely spot in my home studio begging for that preamp
Same
Man Ola your playing sounds better and better. The intro was great.
40 yrs later and Engls are still under the radar and underrated.
They are well rated, I think. They had a bad rap among sound engineers the early 2000s due to fizzy, boomy, oversaturated metalcore sounds. To me those early 2000s Engl still sound great, but they can be challenging to dial in. Nowadays their reputation is probably overtaking Peavey.
Another hell of a video of another hell of an amplifier ❤
Sounds killer. And I'm very pleased to see you using an SM57 again. Makes it easier to understand the tone in comparison to other amps since the 57 tone is one most guitarists are familiar with.
I played the SE 14 years ago, and the only reason I didn’t buy it was because it was just out of my budget at the time, it was easily one of the best sounding amps I’ve ever played. This is just that with extras, and I’m in for it.
Wow that is an absolute metal monster! I love Engl amps. 😁🤘
This is by far my most favourite “chug tone” in any high end amplifier! Prior to hearing this, it used to be the ENGL savage mk2, Bogner Uber ultra, the original Mesa 2c plus and the Diezel Herbert/VH4, just a few honourable mentions
You should deactivate the (gain boost) knob between the Clean gain & Crunch gain knobs, to get a crunchy sound 😉
The new version of e670fe is missing two knobs, the (lo pow./ hi pow. & speaker A/B)!
I'm a proud owner to have the old e670 S. E. I had & still have many amps in my collection but this one I call it (the unbeatable). So versatile and easy to get cool sounds out of it, not complicated as my Mark V 90w..I know they are different and do not attack me on this 😅
It has a decent noise gate & quite enough of gain... I always have the gain of the 3rd ch. on 11 O'clock & if I want to boost it for b*tching, I put the gain on 10 O'clock!!
This amp is a beast!! 🔥
As one metal guitarist to another. You are amazing man. Getting better and better every time I watch you ( even when just jamming/mucking around )
Any amp that inspires someone to play is a winner, seeing you getting lost in enjoying the riffs on Lead Channel 1 you can tell it’s doing the right thing for you! Sounds great 🔥
Damn Ola this is one of the best tunes I’ve heard you write and perform for your demos! Definitely a killer tune! Also your guitar tone on this crushing! 🤘🤘
It's crushing because that Amp and Cabinet............ melt your face off!
It has a very heavy Damage Plan kind of feel.
I still have and love my Powerball Mk1. Engl will always be my amplifier of choice. Tone and the heavy lead sounds are still superior!
Hell yes love me some ENGL. The if "I won the lottery" setup right there.
Ola - I've been watching your videos since you only did no-commentary amp demos and Superior Drummer tutorials with Kate Beckinsale's robot voice. Now, I see your guitars for sale in local markets. This video somehow reminds me of you cranking out Scarpoint riffs through a Framus Cobra without even showing your dopey pre-dad face. Super impressed by your success. Thank you.
I remember the ENGL Special Edition well, it was my dream amp at the time, but way out of my budget range. I'm glad they brought it back, it's such a versatile and amazing sounding amp. I am playing the Fireball 100 myself, but the SE, the Uberschall and the Framus Cobra were always my "drewl all over" amps. This again sounds so killer and immediately takes me back to those times where we would go into a music store and take the playtest room hostage for about an hour with this thing.
😍
So over the top, I want!
I still have my Engl E530 preamp + E850/100 power amp I purchased new years ago. More recently I purchased an E561 Artist Edition 100. I run these into a pair of E212VHB Pro cabs.
Cheers!
Ola you know you can stand up for these videos if your back hurts. Look into an Ahead split seat spinal glide throne if you need to sit, for reasons. I have a herniated disk as well and it has helped. If it was portable at all I would take it with me everywhere.
I can't even comment on the purpose of this video since that drool worthy sound says it all. Thanks for the demo and rock on. 🤘🤘
I've had mine (6L6) for a month now, it's sounds and plays soooo good... every time I plug I just shake my head in disbelieve :D
The crunch channel is king on this amp.
Always max out the gain with the gain boost, push the treble a bit and then an overdrive in front.
Lead 1 is really great to, but the crunch just sounds bigger and more open in my opinion :)
My (second hand) Powerball 2 has served me well for the last 5 years, and hopefully for atleast 10 more because I absolutely love it.
I've yet to try an amp I like more and I've played a bucnh of amps including blockletter 5150, some rectifier and a Diezel.
Never tried the Savage but you're making me curious.This amp (and the savage) is just out of my league unless I find it second hand lol.
Great review Ola!
Freaking amazing amp and the
freaking amazing Ola, super nice 😊
Sounds incredible!🤩Love that sound🥰 A full level up comparing to Savage!🤘
Indeed, a very wide range of sounds. Really curious how it compares to a Duel Rect. $4k US 😳
I own an Engl SE e670 6L6 from like 15 years and it is a beast indeed.
Engl has been my go to for amps for a while. Just absolutely beautiful distorted tone. I mostly use a powerball but have been curious about a savage for years
It is so worth trying it! I own a savage and the feature I love the most is, that you have 2 gain controls on the crunch 1 and the lead channel. So you can blend different types of gain structures plus it has a lead boost on the lead channel, that also changes the gain structure slightly. That makes it incredible versatile for metal/rock tones
i appreciate the info that is really interesting you can do that
Sweet demo. Engls are awesome amps. This one is a bit much for me, since I like simplicity, but it sounds killer!
Sick ass review man this video reminds me of Rig Rundown days but your skills on guitar are massive compared to then.
Holy magnificent tone!!
nice nevermore ish riffs loomis is the master! and an obvious influence.. cool
Engl has to be one of the greatest if not the greatest high gain amps ever. This one is totally to die for but unfortunately I'll be dead before I can afford one.
in germany you can get most of their lineup used for under 1000€
Exactly way too expensive.
@@DownDeepFishing i wonder is it because of import taxes or why are marshalls in Straya and Murica double the price from europe?
@@TheWolvesCurse I’m assuming that’s the case, Germany is very strict on importing and exporting products and want there cut of tax money so in the end we get the the hit from all of those taxes and surcharges, not a good way to do business. I realize CZcamsrs want to showcase these products but at a consumer perspective it’s not feasible. Expensive gear is cool but I’ll never buy it. Just being honest. That being said somebody else that has 4K for a head and wants to watch videos on this amp is always a great idea. I did that with my amp when I was looking for a new amp.
@@TheWolvesCurse engls are made in Germany brother.
That sounds badass!! I need one
That sounds insanely good! :)
That beast is siiick!
Engl amps have that immediate joy factor about them that make me want to own them all.
More mids than we're used to with Engl. Sounds great. The tube driver sounds great, very clean and clear, for low overdrive, something in which I am invested lately.
I still think that the tube driver channel is meant for a distortion pedal
@@zekkari27 certainly. Kurt Cobain style.
This tone somehow reminds me of older Scar Symmetry records. Awesome!
Sounds awesome!
Engl Fireball was my first proper Amp. Played a 15 year old Savage for 10 more years in my Band. Really reliable Amps. Now I prefer the sound of Friedman Amps, but Engl will always have a spot in my heart.
The main thing that’s interesting to me about this, compared to the Powerball II, is the modern/vintage switch. Other ENGL amps tend to sound rather cold, giving you that polished super-defined metal sound at the expense of the warmer low mids. The Founders Edition has that same “coldness” in the modern mode, which is great for metal - but you can switch it back to vintage to do some more classic rock tones. That’s a level of versatility no other ENGL amp seems to have, as far as I know.
Nice intro song! It kind of sounds like a mix of.. The Haunted and Scar Symmetry or something. Neat!
Wow that solo’d SM57 sounded like absolute deep fried ass. Then the VR2 has no clarity. But together, they sound awesome
😍 I have two ENGLS powerball and fireball...and man, they are awesome🤘
Totaly insane !!!!!!
I'm getting a "Crawl" feel from that riff.....you know the Damageplan song sick song btw
Sounds great!
I used to have an Engl E570 preamp in my rig. Hearing this makes me wish I still had it.
Daaaamn that sounds just perfect! Highly imtimidating though with all the knobs etc hahah
Cool amp and a demo with 7 string action to show the amp across a wider range.
It's absolutely amazing and you're absolutely paying for it. Would have to say if I were gigging or earning more income from music it would definitely be worth the investment.
This is very versatile nice .
Looks like an airplanes control layout. Sounds awesome but I like more simplicity. That ENGL cab is also helping create that beastly tone.
Ola does it again. Coming up with totally cool riffage that surely is the beginning of what could and should be another great metal song. Love that shit. Sure, you might need to sell your cars and start riding a scooter to buy the amp, but truly a wonderful crunchy amp from ENGL that also kicks ass. :)
I friggin love it 🤩
While this is definitely not an amp I would ever buy I do really like the Crunch and the Tube Driver. Really nice sounds.
What a beautiful amp.
M-fing flamethrower! 🤘🏼
One amp to rule them all 😮
Still in love with my Victor Smolski.
I love the name. Could have added a couple more "edition"s though. The Engl Edition of the Engl Special Edition Founder's Edition
This amp seems like the perfect amp for a cover band. If you want to have an all tube amp that can give you the tone for any popular song from the past 7 decades, this amp can deliver. The tube driver channel can maybe give that Fender Twin, Vox AC type of tone. Will try to get my hands on one of these someday. A bit pricey but well worth it.
I haven't wanted to buy a tube amp for years, but man this one... Shiiiiiiiiiiit ☠❤🤘🏽
I was just able to give it a short try at guitar summit, this thing is a f**king beast! Way too many knobsis for me, but got immediate great tone out of each channel.
Damn! That sounds good! 😎🤟
That sounds great.
This is literally the perfect amp
that is a nasty tone - love it
Love it!!
This has to be the most gnarly amp I've ever heard. Damn it sounds good and crunchy. I wish I had 4k to spend on it right now.
Nice intro riff god damn
Yes man! ENGL !
Yeah, probably the most amazing sounding amp I've heard, for my taste at least
I want to hear that amp all day 😅 is just delicious 🤟🤟
Engl🤘😎
The XXL Box is the best thing to have. But it weights a little bit🙈
The amp is awesome 🤘💪
luv engl.. ritchie blackmore best amp i ever owned. maybe ill save up for this one!
Your getting some mass man. You lifting some weights obviously 💪
My e636 extreme aggression is still my fav ... it's so simple, yet so brutal, yet clean, yet bluesy
it sounds verry cool!
This thing is insane
