Hey Marin, I know you've got one, so I just have a question about the Engl Screamer. What kind of tubes has it got in the poweramp and preamp? I couldn't find the info anywhere....sorry to ask such a simple question, but I'd like to know.

Re: Question for Marin
It IS Brian May, but it's not a strum stick, it's the neck of his guitar there. It's a weird angle, and that tilt at the end is the headstock.

ENGL doesn't make tubes and these are rebranded Sovteks. One of my preamp tubes still has the Sovtek label (12AX7WB) and I presume the output tubes are either the Sovtek 5881's or 6L6GCs.
I recently replaced all the tubes with Electro Harmonix ones. Whilst the poweramp tubes (6L6EH) sound ok, the preamp tubes (12ax7EH) sounded too harsh and trebly. I put back the WBs and everything sounded OK once again.
I think that the Screamer works better with slighlty "darker" pre-amp tubes.
Hope this helps.

Re: Question for Marin
Bumpy...oh...marin, I also have another question: What does the VLS ratio option do? I couldn't quite understand it on the Engl site.
BTW, sorry to keep asking you questions about the Screamer, it's just that I'm really looking into getting one.Last edited by Ocifer; 06-03-2004, 07:13 PM.

No, I haven't ever used a treble booster.
The VLS is a usefull command which can be controlled by the Engl footswitch. Basically, there is a knob on the amp which allows you to set a "low" volume and a "high" volume mode for the amp.
The footswitch allows you to switch between these 2 modes. It's very usefull when you need to switch from rythm to solo when playing with a band.
