Did a demo for the little Engl Gigmaster 15. Very cool little amp ... 15 wats, with a power soak that can get you to 5 watts or 1 watt. Two channels with a shared EQ. Really a great amp for smaller gigs, rehearsals, or the practice room.

Yes, guitar plugged direct into the amp. Through an Engl V30 cab. I did add the slightest bit of delay at mix down. (The amp does have an effects loop ... so no problem running a delay pedal.) Very cool amp, that gets both nice crunch and clean tones in a tiny package. Easy to deal with for smaller gigs.

2 other questions Carl: was the gain maxed? Do you think this lil' head could be loud enough to play with a full band?

The gain was set around 1 to 2 o'clock. Yes, this head can be enough to play with a band. Also depends on the gig ... I have used the head for smaller gigs with no problem. Of course, miced up through a PA will always work.

Thanks for all the answers Carl. One more question, just thought about this one: have you tried the loop on it?

Great demo Carl, some great tones, thanks for posting.
Is the head going through a 4x12?

Yes, Engl 4x12 cab. The amp can run though a 4x12 (as in this video), but it is only 15 watts ... for smaller gigs I was running it through an Engl 2x12 with good results.
