The ESP Guitar Company

Do you like metal? No? Okay, go read something else.

Oh, you're still here? Then that must mean you're someone who needs to learn more about the ENGL Powerball II, because this is a pure, uncompromising, all-tube amp made specifically to bring out the best of the most brutal and unforgiving modern metal sounds imaginable. We're not talking about some simulation or recreation or model of the best metal tone; this is the real thing... 100 watts of relentless power, and tonal clarity at all frequencies that you've previously only experienced in your dreams.

The Powerball II is the perfect amp if you're into downtuning. Your drop-tuned 6-string, 7-string, or 8-string guitar will never sound as gut-punching as it will through this amp, with low-end representation that you might not realize is even possible. And sure, you can expect crystal clear clean tones and crispy crunch as well. But the Powerball II's four channels are optimally matched to each other so that all the degrees of distortion fit together seamlessly, and every gain setting is differentiated and delivered with razor-sharp attack.
