Is there anything like that? I am looking for a dark british tone so match my Laney as mentioned in my other Laney post. Thanks Dudes.

Is this a good price on it ??? sounds awesome, since I am very close stylistically to EPM and late Savatage this thing sound perfect it uses ECC 83
so it whould matcha with my E34L in power amp nicely. How is the clean channel on it ???

In addition to the Engls, the Kasha Rockmods are killer if you can find an old one on de bay. Hafler Triple Giants are good too.

OUTLAW1969 or any body else who used ENGL E530, is "preamp defeat" a bypass feature, like if you were to put it in EFX loop would the "defeat" option turn it off and you would be back to your head's preamp ? any tone suckage on that ? and once again guys, How is the clean channel on it ??? Thanks Bros.

DUH!!!, just read the manual on line "defeat" is a bypass, but still would love to hear more from users here.
