NAMM '13 - Engl Amps Retro Tube 50 Combo & Ironball Demos

[ELGUEY]

That guy played "Little Wing" beautifully. Great job! The amps sound great!

[lighteningboy]

I love the way you are cutting the commentator's mic during playtime. Very well done PG!!!

[ZachWish]

The Retro 50 sounds incredible! All the tones I would want in an amp.

[rcoveyduc]

The flame on that Yamaha is fantastic.

[rigorhead]

This amp sounds fantastic! I really like the features, layout, and aesthetics. Home run from ENGL!

[soundknight]

What a sweet clean tone reminds me of a Boogie Rivera cross with a touch of roland quality clarity. Gain channel works well too. Great classic gain.

@bizthin sorry I offended you by playing a few Doug Rappoport licks. He is a friend and an amazing guitar player and one of the coolest guys I have ever met. Again, didn't mean to offend I was trying to pay homage to a master :) and the guitar is the GJ2 green Meanie, super nice. Thanks for watching ya'll.

Michael lives in California, his english is fine. I'd love to hear your accent when you speak another language.

@Tony Lee Great demo! You're really good! Might you know the price of the Ironball and when it will be available in the US? Thanks and keep rockin'!

[CyborgBlade]

I hope he does as soon as he can. :-)
ENGL should send them an Amp to demo it.

A friend of mine had a BMW Motorcycle. Was that British Motor Works or was that German also?

[valentinpau]

My only question is : is it loud enough ? :)

[theandrewauld]

BMW's are german. "Bayerische Motoren Werke", or in English, "Bavarian Motor Works".

[MisterTee]

ENGL is a good brand. I have been using them for 20 years, not one has gone down. During that time I have gone through Boogies, Marshals and Cornfords...all of which are also nice amps but the ENGLs have lasted better.

[MisterTee]

Do the Portugese also not know what a question mark means?

[Sredit]

Why do you feel the need to trash my playing? And yes I made a LOT of mistakes. I picked up that guitar one minute before the video was shot and I wasn't used to it... Also, have you watched any of my other videos? I can play just about anything...I struck a serious nerve with you and I am not sure why?

[erszebet]

The things are full of those generic brand yellow MKT capacitors (they're some sort of name brand, but still very, very cheap)! They also tend to use axicom telecom relays that are under a buck each. One thing I find particularly heinous is the use of 1/4 watt resistors literally everywhere in the signal path, as well as the fact that they appear to be carbon film (instead of metal film). 1/4 watt is really pushing it for a plate resistor, yet many manufacturers (inc peavey and engl) do it.

[TheGuitarGuy]

How so? :s Not disagreeing, just looking for a new head to get and not known with the Engle products lol.

[bizthin]

At 06:50 the guy is doing a very poor version of some Doug Rappoport trademark runs. Doug usually helps ENGL at NAMM. Just givin' kudos where it's due. Check out the BIONIC album by Doug Rappoport, available at CDBaby!

[dimebagdolf]

It's a GJ2. Grover Jackson's new line of guitars. :)
