Perfect for playing at home without disturbing the neighbors, at any level the sound is always clean (it either 5W or 1W 20W). I have not yet tested the headphone output.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, no need instruction!
The sound you want quickly is obtained.

SOUNDS

The clean has a very warm and round sound, with the boost engaged it starts from already seriously in OD.
The lead channel provides a wide variety of sounds ranging from rock to modern metal (with the boost in addition to the solos, it's perfect!)
You can do anything with, clean, blues, rock, hard, heavy, ... extreme metal, also depends on the guitar and pickups that you use on. This Engl will delight more than one and that in all styles of music. Personally I do mainly metal (sudden death) and this sends severe head for its size. Engl strikes a blow.

Using a pedalboard with separate pedals, I can tell you that I just deleted my distortion pedals that serve me for nothing (so the lead channel of the head is good).

For cons, I put all my pedalboard in effect and there is simply fabulous loop. With an equalizer, noise gate, flanger, chorus and delay (for now it is enough for me). The equalizer allows me to sculpt the sound is even more offers huge variations in addition to the equalizer of the head, which is already very good. Other effects in the loop are perfect. I tested the live pedalboard (front connection) and its effects appears much lower. The effects loop is very good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 weeks and I could not do without! It is plugged into a 4x12 Engl.

The +
Its weight, size and SOUND

The -
For 900 € Engl would think a carrying case or could provide Z4 footswitch! This is the only complaint that I had to do!

I would do this choice without hesitation because the head is a very good alternative for bosser home with all the lights and sends severe for all styles of zic, friends metalheads do not hesitate.
