When I was a teenager I had a picture of the original SE set as the wallpaper on the family desktop computer I was allowed to use

I've completely sworn of EL84 amps after two Mark V:25s. I really liked it and the tone is there and it records well, but there's no oomph and power behind it. Sounds very anaemic.
I do have a Victory Kraken, and that thing sounds freaking monstrous. A great 5150 voiced amp.
Used to have a Fireball 100 and a Savage 120. But these days, I'm down to just an E530 and a E840. That totally scratches the Engl itch for me.

I heard you guys like the Savage? Check my Savage NAM profiles featuring the Original Engl Savage 60 E630. How not to love this Amp? It does Clean, it does crunch, it does fat Rhythm, Tight High Gain and full balls out brutal destruction!
Have fun and feel free to suggest some settings, deviations or Bands/Songs for inspiration.
Find my personal settings here.
This is everything that sounded good to me.

What’s happened lately with Engl amps? Are you guys still smitten with the preamp? Any new GASsing going on or have you gotten rid of any amps? I sifted through the thread after it popped up in a search result while researching amps…
I’m still rocking my FB25 when I can through the pretty large 1x12 V30 Engl cab I’ve got! Lately I’ve rethought my use of an EQ in the loop after seeing a vid of Nolly talking about how he approaches EQ’ing and walking through the updates to the EQ in his Archetype plugin. Obviously different amps than in the plugin but it really came alive by aping this! I’m still cutting a bit around 250hz, but then boosting some choice mid-high freqs just a smidge. Still trying to dial in good Q values but it certainly woke up the amp for me and moves it away from sounding dark. Also gives some extra sparkle to the clean channel which I’m not complaining about.
Would be nice with a 2x12 or 4x12 cab with a Powerball II on top, but that will have to be in the distant future.

^ I sold my Savage. Loved that amp, but once I got my MI Megalith Gamma, nothing else in that realm even mattered anymore 
Would still love to try the FB25 and SE FE, though.

I settled on the E530 Preamp. Just really dumb for me to keep collecting big, dumb amps that
are as fitting in this day and age as Wreck-It Ralph walking around the streets of New York City.
Still fun looking, though... as I continue to be amazed that as you become
more and more of an old man all the merchandise you are attracted
to is pretty much off limits.
And I sure as fuck don't want to be the
creppy old guy trying to stay 25 wearing bedazzled jeans and shooting
up the T-therapy to stay virile and active.
No offense to those who do, though.

I am scared to go with a kiler preamp like the 530 or the 570 because then I will need a great rack power amp and then I will be a rack whore.I settled on the E530 Preamp. Just really dumb for me to keep collecting big, dumb amps that
