Victor Smolski Limited Edition (E646) http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazi...ictor_Smolski_E_646_and_GigMaster_Series.aspx Clifton, NJ (December 29, 2010) -- ENGL Amps has announced a new limited edition signature amp and a low-watt tube amp line to debut at Winter NAMM 2011. The Limited Edition Victor Smolski E 646 is designed for modern metal, while the GigMaster series, first seen at Musikmesse 2010, offers ENGL tone at a smaller size with its head and combo offerings. The ENGL Victor Smolski Limited Edition E 646 was made to meet the demands of the modern metal guitar player. Amp designer Horst Langer developed this amp with the support of the incredible Rage guitarist, songwriter and producer, Victor Smolski. Smolski says, "For many years now I have trusted in ENGL Amps on stage and in the studio. I was always using different ENGL models but finally I am able to get everything I need in one amp." Features include 100 watts output power (6L6s), separate Volume and Gain controls for each of the four channels, Middle-voiced switching, FX Loop, Noise Gate and ENGL's proprietary Electronic Power Tube Monitoring system (P.T.M.).

ENGL E646 Victor Smolski 開始販售了 Thomann 價錢 EUR1799, 比 Powerball II 稍微多了兩百歐元 還是比 Steve Morse model (with MIDI) 便宜些 http://www.thomann.de/gb/engl_e646_victor_smolski_ltd.htm E646 demo from Session Music Germany http://www.youtube.com/embed/Nfcke6I9amg Victor Smolski 親自 demo http://www.youtube.com/embed/Va1-2dOWhrY
這顆新頭我也花了點時間去了解, 面板的外型與蛇皮,鐵鍊都是很屌的賣點,尤其是鐵鍊我超愛!! 選項面板,其實與pb2一模一樣, clean tone 也跟pb2一樣的聲音, 我想最大的不同就是在於他強調超級多的gain, ch3.ch4聽起來還是聽得出來是以pb2當成基礎點改良的. 他設計的賣點在於當gain調整到3點中之後的白線區,就會有很大的變化, 差一格聲音的特性都有明顯的改變,這點真的很讚 這影片版本的聲音我想 是最接近原始現場聽到的聲音了<因為跟我的pb2接近度到百分之90>, 之前看到很多pb2的影片聲音落差都很大, 這款因該是重新設定了晶片的參數,再加上改變外觀的一款新型號. 很期待代理商引進來台,到時候再替大家做個測試報告 補上這影片是最最接近我親耳聽到pb2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-E4Kl_kTIc&feature=related
E646 也比 E645/2 少了 bright 和 bottom 的音色切換功能 Victor Smolski 在影片中強調他需要那麼多的 gain 是因為 在家裡使用時不用開大聲也能靠開大前級 gain 來得到綿綿不絕的 sustain ENGL Powerball II --> Victor "小司機" ENGL Invader --> Steve "摩斯漢堡" ENGL Savage --> Ritchie "黑多多"
很可惜這次不是帶回 Victor Smolki 的簽名頭 等不及代理商進 E646, 另外猜測價錢會被哄抬, 畢竟是限量版, 所以就手癢買了 E645/2 變懶了, 弄顆全新的 amp 進來, 運費關稅加上去是比代理商便宜些 但是總要有人"肯犧牲", 讓代理商賺到些"合理"的錢, 才會有更多好的樂器品牌進來 當然代理商也要能夠提供值得讚揚的售後服務, 所以這次我又決定犧牲啦~ XD 當代已經出現很棒的開箱文, 所以就不多說了 ...

買 head 的文件袋內裡會有附送一張, 跟其他廠像是 Mesa/Boogie 等一樣 如果台灣 ENGL 代理商沒有的話, 可以寄 email 到 ENGL 去問問看 service@engl-amps.de 不過 eBay 倒是有在賣 ... 囧rz http://instruments.shop.ebay.com/i....sticker&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
