“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.”

"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

"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
