ENGL Special Edition: Founders Edition

[Bob Zaod]

I just wish amps these days weren't $3500+. I feel like they are pricing themselves out of the market. But this does seem to have all the bells and whistles!

Even though I have owned some of the really popular Mesa Boogie amps like the Mark V 90, Tremoverb head and matching cab, and a Mark III I have not paid more than 2k for any of them because I don't need to spend a shit ton of money to get great tone and feel. The Sonzera 50 head I just got is a perfect example. They go for about 600-700 on the used market. I have an Marshall Origin 50 head inbound that is in new condish and I paid 400 bucks for it. I guarantee it will be awesome with a couple pedals. I did pay close to 3500 for a Bad Cat Hot Cat 30r once upon a time and ended up hating it. Luckily I got most my money back on that.

I stopped paying attention to badges and logos (to an extent) many years ago.

It's obscene honestly

They made a more intelligently designed one, but its been "temporarily out of stock" in the boogie store for forever. Back in May support told me that a work order was in to build "about a dozen more with the remaining parts check back in about 5 weeks. There will not be a preorder"

I've tried to check fairly frequently and unless they came and went super fast I don't think they've been made yet

Does it have midi? You could go that route maybe? I actually dig the 6 button VII switch but most of the functions I don't use so no real reason to hook it up.

Great demo.

Love the crunch channel.

Fireball seems to cover everything else.

Awesome amp and excellent video! Unfortunately the SE FE is out of my price range, so I'll have to make do with my Powerball II until I win the lottery (which I'm not taking part in anyway).

The Powerball II is so good!

 

[Whizzinby]

Great vibe in the clean bit @GuitarJon Baritone + Lead channel = Awesome.

Killer amp.

Man the SE-FE could be my last amp. That and a Hagen are about all I GAS for. My Savage MKII will be here today and I have the Engl Smolski which is a slightly tweaked PowerBall II, so adding the SE I’d pretty much have all the Engl one would ever need.

You should definitely order one!
