Selling an ENGL E530 in great condition, only minor scratches on top from being racked. The whitened parts you see on the pictures are light reflections. This preamp is in excellent condition and it's only 8 months old.



Quick demo with a Palmer PGA-05 direct into PA:

Do you still have the clip? I'd like to hear it.
And why miss it when you can buy one today?

Probably not good, without some cab emulation.

This preamp does have a cab emulated output so it would work just fine with a FRFR monitor.
The Palmer emulation is better, obviously. But the preamp built-in emulation is decent. I could use it in a pinch.
Anyway, I'm holding on to this for now, I may use it on a new rack.

Thanks - was not aware of that.
I did know it had a small ppower amp' output - but didn't know it had a cab emulated line level output too.

Thank God. I don't need it, but I was thinking about it anyway. I have two power amps, free rack space and no pre amps
