Seems like most Engls were tweaked around V30s or their own V60 speakers so it's not surprising. But yeah I've never seen an amp as polarizing as the Fireball. Either it's one of the greatest meta amps either or... not. lol
The Morse seems interesting. Doesn't sound like Engl's heaviest amp but it seems capable of the most tones. I'm surprised most amps don't do the split lo/hi mid controls.

Having recently doing some long acoustic cover sets has made me reassess my rig. Currently the Boss OC3 is a life saver since we get an instant bassist, but thinking of adding more like reverb and delay. Looking at the Strymon Cloudburst as a prime candidate, namely since its easier than lugging my BigSky around, and I saw a friend use it on his solo acoustic shows for quasi synth parts.
That and finally get a 12 string acoustic... hopefully.

If you have anything loaded with Sheffields I'd say give that a try. I had the FB100, so it was a little different, but it sounded killer with those speakers.

Maybe?
I never did a side by side comparison of the two, and people argue back and forth on that all day.

Do you have any kind of loadbox/IR loader device? Might be a neat idea to get something like the Fryette Power Load IR or a Two Notes unit so you can quickly, easily, and cheaply try out lots of cab, speaker, and mic types. Then you can choose real world speakers with more in depth information for your cabs.
Also, try the FB through one of your Mesa EV loaded cabs.

It makes sense, I'm just lazy about it. I don't have like a gear room or office or anything so while I have all the devices, it takes a long time to setup. So far this weekend is all guitar cleaning and wiring... just spent 90 minutes trying to unstick an old pot from 1983, but I think I must surrender.

Probably obvious, but I agree this works great. When I was deciding which bass cab I wanted, I tried all the different ones that came in the software for my darkglass alpha-omega bass head and then bought the real one that I liked best. (Of the reasonably sized options, since I'm not tryna buy a 8x10 fridge. Although actually I liked the punchiness and mid-forwardness of the darkglass 2x12 over the 8x10s).
Speaking of which, the top speaker in the darkglass 2x12 I bought had a loose(?) dustcap that produced a farty distortion even with a clean DI signal. Sweetwater already has the replacement arriving this morning, before I've even sent the old one back and only a day after I informed them of the situation. All hail Sweetwater.

Biting my tongue right now trying to resist the urge to drop $3k on a b3 phoenix. Its one of the only t-style guitars that I really like and I've wanted one for years now.

Now is the moment you must make the decision: here or TheGearPage. Choose wisely.
Just lining up the parts to do a Cameron Ocean'ish mod on my 1959HW when the 74 JMP gets here. Doing lots of rotary switching on this one, 5 way gain structure, 7 way bright, 7 way clipping.

I need to stop saying "i'm good on guitars." Now I want a 2nd PRS 277. The one I planned on using for super-low tunings ended up finding it's way to C standard/drop A#. So yeah gonna probably hunt down a 2nd 277 for the sake of tuning down to F.

Picked this one up purely for the green aesthetic, now to figure out which guitar to put it in…

I've bought guitars before just because I wanted one to match a certain leather strap.

I love the MkIV. I have a combo as my living room amp + Thiele extension cab, but still want to get a full size head eventually for the studio. When I first started playing, it was NOT easy to plug directly into an amp and get full hardcore, pro level metal distortion like it is today.
I still remember the day I first played a MKIV at the local guitar store. I could hardly believe my playing could sound that good! It was a life changing experience.

My latest purchase was a free-way 10-way blade switch, and EMG SPC, and an EMG EXG. Now I'm finding out the sweeps on those controls are quite limited vs. something like the Clapton mid-boost and TBX, which offers up to 25dB of mid boost. I think I made the wrong call...not sure I can return them though.

Emphatic no. I have them on all of my guitars, and rarely -- if ever -- turn them above 6.
