Engl Thunder 50 Reverb Review - Amps - Harmony Central

harmonycentral.com

The Engl Thunder 50 Reverb impresses with its great sound across clean, crunch, and lead channels. Its clean channel offers a versatile range from chimey to gritty, while the crunch channel delivers a unique mid-gain tone, and the lead channel excels with a modern metal edge. However, the shared gain control across channels can be limiting, requiring careful dialing to balance tones. The reverb is subtle but effective, enhancing the amp's versatility. Despite its impressive live performance, it may feel somewhat one-dimensional for recording. Overall, it’s a solid amp with quirks that may not replace a guitarist's mainstay but serves well in various settings.
