Mile Pertozza using Engl Invader

It'll be quite interesting if the next album is with Andy and the Invader is use for rhythms. I've gotten quite comfortable with Kreator and the 5150 tone.

Has anyone else used the Invader yet? Thoughts?

I just realised that Rocksolidamps has been updated. Theres some decent Invader clips round half way down the page:

I'm liking what I've heard so far. Can see why Mile would have liked it. Also seems quite versatile. Without having actually played it, I think it's giving my previous "most awsome amp"- the triaxis- a real run for it's money.

It sounds cool, but I'm not sure if it sounds $2800 cool.

$2700 could buy you a 5150, Recto, Mesa 4x12, and OD820, and still leave $300-400.

Haha. I haven't found any local prices yet, but that does sounds way excessive.
Whats the US price on a Recto then? Over here it's $4,500 for a dual!

Goddamn. Is that in Australian dollars, or converted from Australian to US? Last I checked, here a new Single was $1200, a Dual $1400, and a Triple $1600, if I recall correctly. A used Dual will run you $800-$1k, depending on condition. The early Blackface/Chrome Panel Duals, Tremoverbs, and Racktifiers usually go for a bit more.

You guys get screwed on Mesa prices. My Stiletto was $800 and it owns anything Marshall makes. I payed $550 for my Mark IV, 'cause the store thought it was broken. It just needed a tube swap.

Well Mesa is expensive all places but the US. Here in Denmark the Dual cost 3500 US dollars, and the Road king is like 5600 US dollar ;-S That is fucking insane....

Same here in Finland. Mesa stuff costs ridicilous amounts over here. I guess it's the same everywhere in Europe.

The price is taken from a local stores catalogue. I'm pretty sure it's the full RRP, with no discount at all.

2400 euro for a brand new dual rectifier over here.

I've never heard an ENGL that I would take over a 5150.

In fact, I hate the things.

Too bad, I'm a HUGE Kreator fan. I hope the tone doesn't suffer.

+1 on everything he said.

as far as i know, mille used to use 5150 heads live, whereas sami is a big powerball user. and as far as i am concerned, mille's 5150 always sounded kickass, whereas the powerball doesn't quite cut it for that style of metal - IMHO

anyways, i listened to some of those invader clips....not impressed. sounds like another powerball version to my ears, and i do NOT like the powerball by any means.

i used to own an engl blackmore head....frankly, i kinda wish i still had it, just to try some outboard processing on it, but straight in it didn't sound quite as bad as a fire/powerball but still nowhere near the awesomeness of a 5150 or even a framus.
