Newbies #3: Engl 'Screamer' 50w head
Bugger me, impressive bit of kit for sure. 6L6 driven and built like a tank, covers all bases thankfully as I'm not a metalhead
At risk of sounding like Molly... I don't think this one will be leaving my hands for some time.

Re: Newbies #3: Engl 'Screamer' 50w head
Whence did you acquire said power soak device? And which model is that?
Re: Newbies #3: Engl 'Screamer' 50w head
I've probably had it for about a year, it's great as to my ears there's no discernible affect to the tone.codedog wrote:Whence did you acquire said power soak device? And which model is that?
It's USA made by 'Carl's Custom Guitars' and from memory it's suitable to be ran into 8ohm cabs with amps up to 60w.

Re: Newbies #3: Engl 'Screamer' 50w head
Cool, taa. I have no need for one just now but a Fender amp is still on my list, or a Mesa if I win the lottery. The former, if not the latter too, will undoubtedly require a bit of taming for the bedroom Hyuk hyuk hyuk...

I paid four figures, but I guess any piece of gear is worth as little or as much as a buyer is willing to pay.Kris wrote:thats my old one-swapped it for labour and cash to jason as i couldnt even get 650 for it at the time....

Was surprised when I took the back off it that it has a lovely big USA made spring reverb unit in it. Unusual to see one in a head, no?

Hah... I see the cab for this amp is now on TM... at least I think it's the one...
Re: Newbies #3: Engl 'Screamer' 50w head
Yep, nice cab too. Forgot which speakers he's put into it, two of them are Sheffield's. Looked good, sounded greatcodedog wrote:Hah... I see the cab for this amp is now on TM... at least I think it's the one...
