You don't need to ask. We will give you recommendations whether you want them or not.
You have just described exactly the amp that I have already recommended without being asked - the ENGL Artist Edition.
But the NuxI got my Temple Audio board rolling quite nicely. We'll see how night 2 treats me
in that it had 14 channels yet essentially forces you to use presets if you switch back and forth between modes. Am I insane? Why wouldn't it recognize the master setting when you switch between modes? Jesus christ.
I'll never own an Engl. Too much $ here and nothing about them speak to me. I wanted a Fireball back in the HC days. The more I futz with amps the more I realize I like either DUMB single channel thought processes or Mesa Boogies. Fractal is for when I am wanting to overcomplicate things
Single channel amps, or Mesas that behave like multiple single channel amps is for me. Except you know, I don't own amps anymore, so there's that.I'll never own an Engl.

This amp is also
So I got the power amp insert loop (serial) to work with the FM3. 18db pad on the FM3 input, +4 on the output. I want a mode switching amp WITHOUT PRESETS. I'm about to do my first "mod" and pull the CMOS battery or whatever the fuck it is that remembers the wrong goddamn settings in this fucking amp
I have the footswitch @SillyOctpuss . I can see someone in 2008 LOVING this, oblivious of modelers. But goddamn this is not where I want to get my overcomplication fix!
I know I am dramatic. It could be the lack of sandwiches talking but this amp is making me super irrational the more I use it
This is kinda why I want to mod an Origin 50 one day and see how that goes.I know I am dramatic. It could be the lack of sandwiches talking but this amp is making me super irrational the more I use it
It seems like it does; but I don't want that. I want a dumb, fucking face-ripping M style amp (without a waterfall in the background) that sounds like orange and/or red mode on the OD channel with a loop option that isn't weird.
The amp experience for me = I don't want to read a midi manual or presets or fx loop states or onboard reverb. None of this. I didn't realize this amp was so hard coded to it being "packed full of functionality" vs. "hey here's where the fucking amp knobs are set, switch back and forth between modes and you're golden". That's on me and I am dead wrong on this but this is where this particular amp "journey" has taken me. Have I mentioned OD tones are GODLIKE?
At this point; it is 100% working as designed but I am so wrapped up in trying to "learn how it works" and that process is for modeling; not blasting shitty death metal riffs through a 100 watt guitar amp.
I emailed Nic to see if he could do something like OD orange and red modes with a simple loop@JiveTurkey if i recall were you not looking at this beast ?
I think @2112 did demo a while back as well
its only 50 Watts but cant get more simple and aggressive something about face melting you often mention

I‘d buy that!I emailed Nic to see if he could do something like OD orange and red modes with a simple loop

First congrats on the new amp! I’m a classic over complicator. The digital world is way easier for over complicating so I much prefer them for the stupid stuff I come up with. It’s way easier than analog gear in that situation for sure. Some hybrid rigs I’ve done… I’m like wtf am I doing? It’s always fun the first time you plug in and you’re internally betting with yourself on the odds of actually getting sound right off the bat.I'll never own an Engl.
