Just an old clip of mine I dug up and figured I would post, I think the tone is pretty decent.

Engl Blackmore - ESP/LTD EX-400 (EMG 81) - Randall XL 412 (V30's) - Shure SM57

Sounds sweet man! Great stuff..
What settings are you using there?
Or in general? Got any newer clips of it?

Thanks dude. I made that clip last summer, but I think the settings were something like...

Gain - 7.5
Bass - 7
Mid - 4
Treble - 5
Presence - 2
Lead Volume - 10
Master Volume - 1
Contour Switch out

I don't have any more recent clips of it because I sold the amp.

Nice, sounds really sweet, sort of what we're looking for for our band (tone wise)....
I guess with Gain you mean the Lead

I'm not the guitar player so I gotta just write alll this down, tho..i've got the amp standing next to me ?

A little slow compared to the original, don't ya think?

ain't no wonder that loved the blackmore so much. it surely is a great low volume amp. i'm curious if you ever turned it up past like 10:00 on the master? frankly, i doubt it, cause if you did you would have noticed the incredibly shitty high volume sound any engl amp has.
it's a 100w all tube bedroom amp, really....

Yeah, I meant Lead when I typed Gain. You will need to turn the master volume up if you're playing with a drummer though, so the EQ settings might need to be slightly changed.

Yeah it is. I suck.

I've had the volume up to about 5 or 6 on the master volume, with the lead volume at 10. I didn't think it sounded shitty at all.

No kidding? Our resident Engl freak sold his Engl...
What do you have now or shall I rephrase it - what Engl do you have now?

Haha, well I only sold the Blackmore because I just had to pick up a Custom Caparison I saw on Ebay. Right now I have 2 Caparisons, a Fender Strat, a 5150, a Madison Divinity, a Bogner cab, and a Marshall cab. I will get another Blackmore someday, maybe even a Savage 120. I had a Powerball a few months ago, but I didn't like it nearly as much as the Blackmore.

Well, lucky for you that you live somewhere where you can actually sell such stuff in reasonable time...

Wow, nice collection!

That's an interesting thing to hear, since Blackmore is a less expensive head... Anyways, do it asap or you'll be cast out of the Church-of-ENGL!

well i just figured you're a bedroom only player because like every clip you posted so far had the amp volume way down.

anyways, i stand by my opinion, the engl is an OUTSTANDING low volume amp - the blackmore i had friggin NAILED the iced earth alive in athens tone, which alone almost justified keeping it - but sounds like crap at high volumes. i noticed that you gotta run the gain quite high to get any thickness whatsoever when playing loud, and i'm just not a gain whore. i used to use it with the contour engaged (=boosted mids), the mids around noon to 3:00, the presence off, treble around 10:00, bass almost cranked, gain slightly before noon, and it was really thin (scooped) and bright even with these settings. a pity, i really loved that amp for bedroom use
