I'm looking to get an Engl combo amp for practicing, rehearsal, small jams/gigs. I had an Ironball for years that I ran through my Pro 2x12 and really loved that sound, so I'm leaning towards that. I also know the Ironball combo features the same power soak + line out for DI recording that the regular Ironball head has.
On the other hand, I keep seeing other models pop up on the used market like the Screamer and Thunder. They all seem to have similar features (save the Screamer being a 50 watt) so I'm wondering if any stand out as better or worse in comparison to others. For what it's worth, I'm aware there are other great combo amps out there, but at this point I'm very honed in on the Engl sound and really prefer sticking with that.
