Oldman Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) I am putting out a feeler for my ENGL Ironbass Head. Barely 5 Months old never gigged, rehearsed 6/7 times, looks like this: [url="http://www.englamps.de/portfolio/ironbass-e1055/"]http://www.englamps....ironbass-e1055/[/url] FRONT [attachment=255012:FRONT.jpeg] BACK [attachment=255013:Back.jpeg] SIDE [attachment=255014:Side.jpeg] Having Owned a Demeter Minnie and moved it on, the EQ was far too subtle for me with very little tone correction/addition/subtraction for my ears. I liked the idea of a full on Class A front end with more tone options, ( I have owned and moved on a 4:88, CTM 30 and PF-50T) this does it. 800 Watts into 4 Ohms ( I use 2 x Tecamp 8 Ohm 15's) it is sublime. In rehearsal with one cab, I tend to use the Bass at 3 of the clock no boost, Low mid at 12 noon (zero) hi mid at 3 again, treble at 1 o clock and presence at 9. If I need more bass I can pop the bass boost button. Drive is a usefull addition, old school smooth to a nasty blat! Why me move it on? well I want to go 3 cabs and this does not do 2.7 or 2 Ohms, simples Thanks for looking Still have the box so UK mainland delivery free. Edited October 12, 2017 by Oldman
Oldman Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 There is a massive heat sink, runs quiet, so no f.....g fan. Solid engineering outer case is heavy gauge steel.
throwoff Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 ENGL are not my cup of tea sonically, but I have to say, there is something about their brutalist design that I love.
Oldman Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 It is ‘Utilitarian’, but extremely functional. Only reason for the feeler is as stated, 3/4 cab setup. To avoid dubiety the preferred part chop is 1 or 2 PJB C4 Cabs or a head that will do 2/2.7 Ohms, prefareably a Class D Head. Phew Thanks for looking folks
chevy-stu Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I'd be curious to try it... never knew Engl made bass amps. could be a good replacement/spare for the Orange Terror bass I use often..
