ENGL E645/2 Powerball II 100-watt Head

A pure, uncompromising metal amp. With the low end, we’re entering territories no amp has reached before. This is the way of modern metal! But the Powerball II also produces crystal clear Clean tones, crispy Crunch, dense solo sounds and everything in-between with ease. Its four Channels are optimally matched to each other so that all the degrees of distortion fit together seamlessly. We even generously dimensioned the output transformers in this four channel sound machine, so players can experience uninterrupted low end enjoyment. What’s more, every gain setting is differentiated and delivered with razor-sharp attack - total joy for any guitar with drop tunings!
