Oldman Posted October 4, 2017 Share 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.

Hellzero Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Is there a f.....g fan in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwoff Posted October 5, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
