Engl invader 100 head Great condition overall, with a couple of very minor nicks in the tolex. Comes with soft head cover & brand new Z4 footswitch (never opened) Channel 1: Clean As with all the channels on the Engl Invader 100, this channel features a gain knob, treble, middle, bass and a channel volume. This channel also has a bright switch that boosts treble. At low gain settings, depending on how hot your pickups are, you can get a really punchy clean tone with no break-up. As you turn the gain control higher you can hear a little bit more break-up, creating a crunchy tone which would be very suited to classic Rock. Channel 2: Crunchy The same controls as channel 1, however this time there's a hi gain switch. At low gain settings with this off, you get a considerably crunchier tone than channel 1. Pressing the hi gain switch pushes the pre-amp harder and delivers a little more mid range emphasis. When you turn up the gain control, the crunch tone starts to saturate further creating a smooth distortion perfect for metal rhythm, or classic Rock leads. Channel 3: Tight/Smooth Distortion This channel features a very smooth saturated distortion with a tight low end, even with the gain knob set around 3/10 there is still plenty of sustain and tightness. This channel would be perfect at low gain settings for a really tight metal rhythm, or as a boosted lead if you were using channel 2 as your primary rhythm tone. At higher gain settings you can get super sustained lead tones that would cut through the mix with no problem at all. Pressing in the hi gain switch on this channel delivers out of this world levels of gain and saturation. Channel 4: Super smooth distortion. On the Engl website this channel is described as modern crunch to singing harmonic leads. It has a similar tight voicing to channel 3, however it also has insane amounts of gain, even without the hi gain switch activated. This channel features a very focused mid range, which typically would make it perfect as your lead/boost channel. Even though you have more gain than you could shake a stick at, that doesn’t mean high gain is all the Invader can do. With the optional MIDI programmable foot controller, you could set the four channels to do a whole variety of things, meaning each channel doesn’t necessary have a set purpose. I know people who own this amp and use each channel for vastly different purposes, such as having a clean channel, a low fi channel for percussive playing, a tight rhythm channel and a super lead channel. Each channel has two stages of gain, and for channels 2, 3 and 4 we also have the option of using the onboard noise gate which is adjustable at the back of the amp, meaning we can have up to eight potential settings at our disposal, using the footswitch. The Power Amp section: On the far right of the Engl Invader 100’s front panel are two master volumes, a presence and a depth punch knob. The presence knob is very extreme, perfect for moulding all of the channels high end response at once, which makes it very useful if you are playing a show and get given a cab that is either very dull or very bright. Using it, you can easily and quickly adjust the amp's high mid and treble. The depth punch knob sets the amp's low end resonance, the higher settings on this control give the amp more ‘boom’ and punch, while sweeping this control into lower settings takes out some of the boom in the low end, tightening it up and focusing the lower range. The depth punch knob is a great tool for controlling the amp's low end for different playing situations. The Invader also features two master volumes, which can be controlled by the amp's MIDI footswitch. This is a fantastic tool for boosting your sound. For example, if you have a rhythm tone that you also want to use for a lead tone, you can boost that channel, meaning you can potentially have two volume stages for each channel. The possibilities in the Engl Invader 100 are endless! Constructionally, the Invader is built with classic Engl quality and durability, featuring a sturdy build, a clear easy to navigate front panel, blue back lit front grill, and super solid construction.
