By selling my engl top, keeping the 4x12" and purchase the boss gt-8 and crate powerblock amp and still having leftover money from the engl head sale, I belivie that that was a smart move. Now I have a wide selections of pre-amps and every effect you need(and lots ya`ll never need) from the...

Playing for years on koch and/or engl tube heads and 4x12" with just a tuner between guitar and amp(sometimes a wah pedal). I got kinda tired of having basicly one good clean and one good cranked sound. A good tone indeed, but it somewhat got limiting in ,say, song writing, and basicly I wanted...

I wonder... the crate powerblock(2x75/150w) SMALL amp head. I know its not a tubeamp. But will it deliver enough sound through a 4x12"? Thinkin bout using boss gt through it in case i got no p.a to plug the boss pg8 into. Great amp models on that thing. So I wonder, will the crate block through...

Will the BOSS GT PRO work good as a pre-amp?(The GT pluss some kind of power amp) Tips on the subject appreciated

I am sick of dragging my ENGL head and 4x12"( and those stompers) to gigs or recording and not even come close to the sound I get at rehersals. Now I am thinkin`... Sell all my gear exept for the 4x12" and guitars, and getting a BOSS GT-PRO(as a pre-amp) and some kind of power amp. This way I...

I run a boss dd3 through my effects loop. Honestly, I never use it `cause I think it sounds kinda... well, it sounds like ****. And at that price... man I feel dumb not to try it first, but I`ve heard only praises and goodwill coments on this pedal and bought it. In retrospect I wonder if I\d be...

I am pleased with my sound both clean and ultra gain on my engl fireball, but would like to get a lead/solo sound that is smooth and dont drown in distortion. Is placing an overdrive pedal in front of the cranked amp and stomping it for lead parts a good idea? Been looking at boss sd-1, od-2...

I run a duncan equiped les paul through a ENGL fireball head and 4x12". I get a great rythmsound(ultragain-channel), but i am not pleased with the sound when i play solo`s. I have boss dd-2, ge-7 and ch-1... any tips? Thanx for all the tips guys. I have a alnico pro II neck/bridge set on the...

What goes in the fx-loop and why? Delay...echo....??

I play on gibson guitars with duncan aph buckers through a engl fireball head(This is a high gain amp) At first I loved the amount of distortion, but after a while the ultra-gain channel just is too noisy for me. The amp has a great clean sound, and I wonder if I`d be better of using a...

First of all I am looking for a BOSS BCB-30 pedalboard and an epiphone dot studio(White) or A Fender tc-90 thinline.... these are just the first that comes to mind, but i need a semihollow guitar, pedalboard, BOSS bd-2, Somekind of small and simple but good recording device and this and that...

I run Echo, EQ and delay through my FX loop. From my guitar and amp i have a tu-2 tuner. I use drive from amp, no distortion pedals. Where should I place my wah? From guitar to amp, or in the FX loop?

Just got Alnico pro II Buckers Neck/Bridge installed in my Gibson Les Paul Studio. Running it trhu an ENGL fireball head and a 4x12", and with the right amp setting and use of BOSS GE-7 and BOSS CH-1 I get just the sound I`ve worked for for so long, both clean and distorted! And I love a high...

I have a gibson lp studio with a Alnico II pro in the neck(Split) and Dimebucker in the bridge position.Early I realized that this was dumb because of the extreme treble/bass difference. I just got an ENGL fireball head and 4x12" cabinett, and found the dimebucker to be way too hot. I get a good...
