“Just an Engl Powerball 100-watt head and an Engl 4×12, which I think had Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. I plugged straight in. The Powerball has a lot of variation for getting different sounds, which is great for the studio.”
Jeff is reviewing his “best friend” in the Youtube vid. 👍 I don’t know if he’s still using these Amps but damn, that tone sounds good !!
TK uploaded a photo on Instagram with the amp; although it is unknown to how or what project did/do he uses with the amp.
Paul Landers uses the Engl Powerball 645 MK1 100-Watt Guitar Amp Head both in the studio and during live performances, as detailed on Rammstein World.
"The Engl Powerball is something I use a lot. It's very versatile. It has a great clean tone, a rock tone, I've used it for rythms as well and I use it for solos pretty religiously."
"I used an ENGL on The Odyssey for the rhythm stuff and probably a lot of the solo stuff, but at that time I had been using Line 6 live. It was so easy – you had the head and the pedalboard all contained. So it was easy to bring around.
But I really liked the guitar sound on The Odyssey and then eventually I just brought out all the ENGL stuff live and that’s what I use now. So I have the Powerball as the main head, and I have a Fireball, and I’m using a TC G-System for chorus and delay and all that. It’s split in stereo, so that’s why the two heads. And that’s it – really simple." Michael Romeo

From the Stratovarius website forum:
"I used ENGL Powerball on the last Stratovarius gigs. I had a Mesa Rectifier, but that was/is broken. Effects:live I use TC Electronics G-Force, in studio whatever the song needs, usually some harmonizer for the rhytm guitars and the same plus some delay for the solos." -- Timo Tolkki
