Engl Powerball
What we say about the Engl Powerball 100W Guitar Amp
The Engl Powerball is one of the most complete guitar amplifiers I've ever played. I love the range of tones I can achieve from this amp. I used it as my main amp for over 4 years and it still provides some tones that I find difficult to find elsewhere. Read more »
Matamp Minimat II
The Marketing Blurb
New for Summer 2007 is the revised Minimat. We've taken the old version and added an all valve booster. It's still controled by the footswitch. We've added a master volume so you can take advantage of great sounding preamp gain, or use the attenuator to run the master flat out and get power valve overdrive at sensible levels.
More details will be here soon...but unlike the Little Rock you'll still be able to get custom options like vinyl and gold plating.
There will also be a 1x12 combo version with reverb but without the boost. Read more »

Two Rock Custom Reverb - Version 2
The Marketing Blurb
The Custom Reverb Signature is the culmination of everything Bill & Joe have learned since day one. It has a lot of the same features from their early days building amplifiers. The CR Sig has a very refined lead channel that has been tweaked to perfection. Originating in the K&M Custom, this circuit is the most open, least compressed and most articulate and revealing.
Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker
What we say about the Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker
This is the only Marshall I've ever played and liked. I know some may think that's odd, especially as Marshall have been at the forefront of rock guitar tone for decades. But every time I look for a guitar amp, I try a Marshall and they always seem lacking. It could well be how I'm using it. For instance, I hated Gibson Les Pauls for years, then one day I found the right combination of guitar and amp and now the Les Paul is part of my standard set-up. It also took someone more experienced with the set-up to walk me through its paces and show me why it works so well.
Blackstar HT-5 Combo
What Blackstar say about the HT-5
The HT-5 is the ultimate studio and practice amp, packing all the great tone and innovative features of the award-winning HT valve pedals into a two channel, footswitchable valve combo. The patent-applied-for ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) circuit gives you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network and takes you from the USA to the UK and any where in between. So now you can effectively design your own tone and finally find ‘the sound in your head’. Read more »
Hughes and Kettner Statesman Dual EL84
My Opinion
I have to admit to not having heard one of these amplifiers. So why am I including it?
I've always liked Hughes and Kettner amplifiers. They offer that little bit extra above the normal brands. For me, that little difference can mean the difference between liking playing through an amplifier and having a smile on my face for the rest of the day. Would I buy Hughes and Kettner again? Yes, definitely. This amp is definitely on the list of amps for review. Read more »
