Got a nice package this morning

:eek:




:eek:



Have to say... I'm really impressed by the z5 pedal. Good heavy duty and controls everything on the amp. The finish is great too. This is how all pedals should be made imo







Now for the scabby part... my guitar hasnt arrived yet so I wont even get a chance to play it until next week

Voodu Child

Nice, congrats

Doctor J

Nice knife

Kenny_D

Yup it goes with the bad ass look of the engl. lol

Doctor J

It sure does

Ancient1

Nice - congrats man!

You know, if you want me to look after the amp for you while you're waiting for your guitar - it's not a problem!

feylya

The floor isn't very metal though. More of a rock floor...

Kenny_D

The floor may be rock but check out that cast iron stove in the background. Now THATS metal for ya

Ravelleman

Mmmm ENGL...

david

Love the facial expression in the ENGL logo reflection! The carpet though, purple is a bit deathmetal imo

Ravelleman

It's blue actually. And it's a lovely carpet. Yeah the reflection is pretty unforgiving. I'm far more beautiful than that.

Ah you bastard, you stole my box format of unveiling new gear. Ah I suppose it's so good, it was only a matter of time.

But, you bastard! You got an Engl! That's really sweet. I'll have one of my own at some stage.

I bought a few nice bits of gear lately and not once did i have the patience to do an unveiling like that. I must post up my new gear....

Karl Hungus

Actually, I was wondering if this was the Thunder Reverb or not?

fish-head

You should build a knife rack into the side of it, never know when it could come in handy..

Kenny_D

Mine is a screamer 50. Has reverb on it as well

Oh it's a screamer? I didn't realise.

Kenny_D

The thunder has the kind of finish like the z5 pedal around the controls. The screamer has a polished mirror like chrome

Ah yes. Seems to have a different speaker aswell, as the Thunders come with V30s.

So, how's she treatin' ya so far?

david

The screamer has a celestion g12 v30 also

Kenny_D

Havent played it yet. My guitar hasnt arrived yet (

david

Dont have another guitar to play through it no?

sei046

i have a nice package every morning... Not my most useful of posts.

Kenny_D

I have two acoustics but wouldnt even try plug them into it. lol. Ah my strat should arrive this week anyway. With any luck I'll be playing my new rig tomorrow night when I get home from college

Kenny_D

Well my guess was right. My lovely new strat came through the letter box this morning lol. Only had a chance to play it through the micro cube before leaving for college but WOW. It sounds fantastic and looks great too. Might throw up some pics later if I get time. Gonna be a LONNNG day in college today

Quattroste

WTF did you bother going to college for anyway? I wouldn't have made it anywhere but room with ENGL and Strat and water! Close door, turn up volume, tissue for bleeding ears, tissue for other reasons, play!

Kenny_D

Haha funny story actually. I was leaving the house at 8.25am and as I was walking out the door the delivery van pulled up. Said fook that and went back in to check out the guitar. lol. So didnt go in for the first two lectures. Only got to play it through my micro cube though as it was too early in the morning to crank the ENGL. It sounds great unplugged, really resonant and a nice sound. It sounds soo good plugged in. Hadnt played a good strat before but I think I'm converted. The neck pickup sound is really fat and the cleans from the bridge are wonderful. And this was through the cube. If I didnt have an exam today theres not a chance I would have came in

Giblet

/me strokes his ENGL. *rawr*..... IT AWAKES!

Neurohacker

Saw the pics of the Tokai in your other thread. Colour is really cool. How does it sound through the ENGL? I kinda assume that the ENGL would really only show its teeth with a 'bucker in the bridge, but I may be wrong.

Kenny_D

It sounds great. Only thing is the single coils are subjected to feedback at higher levels more so than a humbucker equipped guitar would. Saying that, I am going to get a cheapish second hand ibanez or something with humbuckers for some heavier sounds. For the strat, I'm probably gonna get another Maxon OD808. Fantastic pedal, did wonders for my les paul through my Peavey Classic 50 before I sold them

Giblet you play a strat through your Engl too dont you?? What settings you got the amp on?
