One trick ponies or Jack of all trades?

This is why I recently ordered an Engl Savage (six week wait).

All of the settings on the Savage are midi recallable. There are multiple selectable presence and master volume controls, as well as different channel modes with separate mid knob, input pad, high/low gain, etc. Of the multi-channel jack of all trade amps, it is the closest to having total recall of settings.

It is primarily a metal and lead guitar amp, but demos show it can do pretty much anything. My guess is that even with all those switches, I will probably just find one or two sounds I use, but its nice that it has that capability.

Its really a dying market though for these things. With modelers, you really just need an amp with alot of headroom to get most any sound.

Aye, I suppose those wanting flexibility will go for modellers and those who want one sound will go for simpler amps.

As far as amp sounds go, the modelling market is kind of just a rehash of what ADA did with the MP-1 all the way back in 1987. I'm mostly joking, but not entirely.

Oh, it is very very different.
