ENGL E304 MetalMaster 20 Combo 1x10 inches
Product no: 9000-0018-2360 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty, the tubes come with a 3-month warranty.

General

The GigMaster is more versatile, and the RockMaster is more geared toward classic rock sounds, so it stands to reason that the MetalMaster is designed for... do we really even have to say it? That said, the ENGL E304 MetalMaster 20 Combo does have a lot in common with the other amps in the family, and just like the others, it's a compact 1x10-inch combo with two switchable channels. This guitar amp is, however, voiced to be able to produce an aggressive metal sound, so it has a lot more bite than the RockMaster and can produce a lot more gain. The E304 MetalMaster 20 Combo is driven by two ECC83 tubes and two EL84 power tubes, so it can produce up to 20 watts of authentic ENGL sounds.

ENGL E304 MetalMaster 20 Combo: scooped sound

The chicken-head knobs featured on the matte black control panel make it easy to get the perfect metal sound in no time. The clean and lead channels share a 3-band EQ, and they each have their own gain control. The clean gain controls the volume and produces some nice distortion when you crank it up. The lead gain, on the other hand, puts you in high-gain territory where you can get anything from fat distortion to screaming leads. There's even a mid-scoop function for a real metal sound. Finally, a master volume knob so you can adjust the overall sound without affecting the volume balance between the channels.

Integrated Power Soak and versatile connectors

You'll find the built-in Power Soak function on the back of the ENGL E304 MetalMaster 20 Combo. This allows you to lower the power from 20 W to 5 W or even 1W, so you get the same tube overdrive and dynamics at lower volumes. You can also switch off the speaker during recording by using the speaker simulation via the line output. An FX loop makes it easy to connect your favourite effects pedals and/or processors, and you can get even more sounds by adding optional 1x 8, 1x 16 of 2x 8-ohm speaker cabinets. Finally, if you add the two optional foot switches or the ENGL Z-4 to the mix, you can control the channels, the digital reverb, mid-scoop and FX loop from a distance while you play.

ENGL Doubles the Power of the Master Series

Tuesday 8 March 2016 By Julie Alexander

The first ENGL MetalMaster and RockMaster 20 amplifiers enjoyed great popularity, thought they didn't quite quench guitarists' thirst for even more power. Once the ENGL technician's caught wind of the requests, they were only too happy to comply, and have recently released their response in the form of the 40W MetalMaster and RockMaster. You can get either model as an amp head or a combo.

Autumnal Offerings from Fender

Wednesday 28 October 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Whether you've already started thinking about your Christmas shopping list or not, Fender has one or two items you might want to add to it.

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

The VOX VTX Series - Evolution Accelerated

Wednesday 4 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

It's already been more than 10 years since VOX turned the amplifier world on its head with the Valvetronix series. This series of amps combined digital modelling technology with convincing tube sounds. Since then, models have slowly but steadily improved along with digital technology. Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.

Friday 6 November 2015 By Lizanne

This amp, preceded by the Nomad, Mini Rectifier Twenty-Five and the Caliber, has been released onto Mesa's mini platform in a combo as well as a head version.

Wednesday 20 January 2016 By Lizanne

Renowned instrument colossus Roland first introduced their Blues Cube amplifiers back in the 1990's. The idea was simply to program a transistor amp to sound like a tube amp. Now, more than twenty years down the line, they've perfected that idea. The result is the brand-new Blues Cube Hot: a portable 3-watt combo in Black and Vintage Blond.
