New Power amp day! I traded some pedals for an Engl 850/100 power amp! Has a whopping 8 power tubes! I had sold off some of my preamp pedals, but kept one (hagerman thermionic reinforcer) just in case I got a power amp at some point. And I did! The preamp and power amp sound great together!

Damn, I think the hagerman/engl setup suits my playing much more than the laney! I'm liking it a lot and now want to experiment with other preamps lmao

Great!! I'm not a metal player. Classic rock up to the 80s is what I do and I had no issues getting these tones out of it.

Damn it, there was an E530 on reverb for 395 and the guy was local. Asked if I could meet up with him and I guess it sold in the middle of our conversation.
Are these hafler preaamps any good? I had a T2 during my noob guitar years and I don't remember what it sounded like.

The Triple Giant is the only Hafler preamp worth buying
Their mosfet power amps are amazing though. Any model..
But for preamps it's only the TG
