Hey guys, Some of you may know I'm on the search for a new amp. I've had Peavey JSX and Laney VH/GH lines in mind. But, recently I've been looking at Engl amp's and they seem to be superb. As I would not be able to try one if I decided to buy it maybe some people on here can tell me what they think of these amps. I'm pretty sure a few people on here have them. I like to play mainly thing's like Racer X, Steve Vai, Dream Theater and other metal. I've heard clips of them but could anyone tell me how the lead/rhythm channels are on these amps. Also what are the difference's between the Powerball and the Screamer besides that the Screamer is 50 watts. I'm leaning towards the Screamer due to the fact that it is 50 watts instead of 100. Thanks guy
