Well now that I finally have enough money from working 4 jobs, its time to get a new amp. So I'm stuck between the Roadster head and an ENGL head. Not sure which ENGL is best for me yet, probably between the Powerball and the Invader or Special Edition. I havnt gotten the chance to play any of these amps yet mainly because no one really sells ENGLs and I cant find a Guitar Center near me that has a Roadster, but I'm not buying either one without playing it first....obviously. I play everything from Jazz to Metal but mostly Progressive Metal(Dream Theater, Symphony X, Steve Vai etc.) and I'm looking for a main tone like JP's tone on Train of Thought.
Right now I have a Carvin DC727C and a Fender Mexi Strat with mini humbuckers but I'll mostly be using the Carvin for Prog. I dont use any FX but I'm planning on getting a Boss Gt-8 sometime soon. Also, I'm going to change the pickups in my carvin and replace them with a D-Sonic7 in the bridge and an Air Norton in the neck. I figured this would be the best place to come for advice so can you guys tell me the differenced between the Roadster and the ENGLs? Which amp do you think would be best for me? Oh I almost forgot, theres a 90% chance that I'll be using whichever head I get on top of a Carvin MTS 4X12 slant cab with 2 Vintage30's and 2 G12T-75's in an x format. I'm currently playing through a Marshall AVT20 combo which gives me a pretty decent Prog metal tone with my Carvin but its just not loud enough...and its going, to say the least. Also, could someone give me the dimensions of the Roadster head? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Marc
