Just got my Engl Artist. I already had a Blackmore a few years ago and it was one of my favorite amps all time. This is a modified version of it, was to be the Doug Aldrich sig model with input from other artists such as Gary Moore, Jimmy Page, etc... It fixes all the gripes I had about the Blackmore. Tighter low end, more Marshally sounding, built in noise gate is great, the tones are amazing! Cleans are amazing, crunch channel is 95% JCM800, high lead is absolutely tight brutal moded Marshall goodness! Pic of Madison Square Living room.

So much win on this picture!!!!

Yes!!! I love these amps. If I’d have never gotten my Metroplex, I’d have been buying one of these. When I got my Metro I took it to a buddy’s house who owns the Artist and we played the fuck out of both at stupid loud volumes. It was some of the most glorious Marshall tones in one room I’ve ever heard. Easily my favorite ENGL of the few I’ve played. Just a ballsy as fuck RAWK amp.

Thanks gents! An absolutely epic versatile hot rod Marshall!

Awesome. The demos of this amp sound great.

I think you would really enjoy the high Lead channel. It is really a tighter bigger sounding Marshall tone. And the built in gate on this channel works flawlessly. No noise, instant gating qhen muting, and still retains dynamics.

Oh yes


congrats!!

I have wanted one of these since they hit the market. I have never pulled the trigger, but if I find myself in the right scenario, I think one will be in my collection for sure.

Congrats on the cool acquisition!

Why have I never even heard of this amp??? The way you describe it just gets the juices flowing.

Thanks gents! Yes this amp is everything I wanted my Blackmore and Splawns to be. It has the Marshall feel, not stiff like most Splawns, better cleans and the Lead 1 and Lead 2 are incredible!

Congrats, those always seem like it would be the sweet spot Engl to me.
I had the Blackmore years ago, and it just wasn't quite there.

The Blackmore was great for scooped thrash tones but a little too scooped for classic rock IMHO. The Artist high lead has a lot of similarities to my Cameron Mig I had when I dialed in high gain only tighter. Huge tight lows.

CONGRATS AND HNAD!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont look at Amps much these days, I feel Ive tried enough to know Im pretty much where I should have ended up. But I do look at Engl's from time to time. The Blackmore is one, this one and of course the Savage.. Post some clipz0rs

I was curious abot that amp a couple years ago, sounds like its killer and you like it

Is it INSANELY loud? You mention Splawn and i had 1 for a very short time and the QR was the LOUDEST amp ever lol

Do a clip soon if you can, would love to hear it at different volumes

Awesome. I've never gotten to play any egnator except for those little bitty things you see at GC every once in a while. But I've never heard a clip of one that didn't sound great. Definitely sounds like you're getting what you wanted out of it, which is the best feeling after a NAD.

Thanks gents. I will tey and get clips up when I can. Right now dealing with my daughter being sick in the hospital so gotta get through that first.

Mojo sent dude. Hope things turn around for the better for her and soon.

Mojo sent to your daughter man. Hoping for a quick recovery!!

Mojo, bro. Nothing worse than having a loved one sick enough to be hospitalized. Hope things go well.

Best of luck to your daughter!

Take care of family bro, speedy recovery to her

Thanks everyone. She is still hospitalized but there is a care plan and she should get out in the next week or 2 at full health.

Wow man! Sorry to hear about the health issues. Glad she is on the path to recovery. I couldn't imagine the stress.
