ENGL preamp E530

[s2c]

Hey!

Does anyone here tried this one with impulses? I'm asking this cus I'm a bit confused about the line outs of this pre. They have a L+R normal line out that you connect to the power amp and another two that are compensated line outs to use directed to a mixing console? Should I use the normal Line out to use with impulses or the other one?

Thanks,

Cheers

Use normal line out - I have e430 wich is like floor version of e530 and using only this outs to record with impulses.

Great tone

Can you give me other details (settings), did you recorded with the contour option? Any boost stomp?...

Cheers

gladly doing that:
recording chain was:
high output humbucker/les paul --> tss with gain=1, bass and high= 7 and volume/level full --> e530 with lead gain=one o'clock Bass=11 o'clock low mid=4 o'clock hi mid=3 o'clock treble=2 o'clock, contour in, lead volume 3 o'clock, gain hi in, lead in --> tracks were 100%,80%,80%,100 --> impulses all guitarhacks JJ louder sneep edge --> post processing was c4 with andy's settings and band filter at 70 and 12000 --> mastering with ozone 3, just a bit equing and loudness maximizer.
cheers
