Hi Dirk, Metal Amp Room is based on an Engl Powerball amp, but we added a crunch channel which is based on a JCM800. It contains two different 4x12 cabinets with two mics each (an SM57 and AKG C414) which can be used in parallel. It was developed together with Patrik Jensen, the guitarist from The Haunted, and we measured the cabinets in the famous "In Flames"-studio (previously known as Studio Fredman) together with producer Tue Madsen and Patrik Jensen. Dirk: the powerball is a 4 channel amp..you said that you added a jcm chrunch channel.. means that it is 5 channels or is the engl crunch replaced by the marshall ?? also isn't vintage amp room a jcm 8oo ?? why implement that double time ?? Niklas: We only bothered with the two hi gain channels, but instead of simulating the crunch channel from the Engl, we inserted the same preamp as in the JCM800, but kept the EQ, power amp and other circuits from the Engl. So it's not a classic JCM800, more of a hybrid. The reason for this is that we wanted to get two different types of distortion in the two channels. And we like the kind of distortion the JCM800 has. But that doesn't mean that it sounds like a JCM800, it's more an Engl with a JCM type of distortion. And yeah, we boosted the input gain of the JCM so that you can get far more distortion from this hybrid than the JCM in Vintage Amp Room. hi everyone ! this is a bit more information on MAR !! peace d Hi Niklas !

Hi Dirk,
Metal Amp Room is based on an Engl Powerball amp, but we added a crunch channel which is based on a JCM800.

Dirk:

means that it is 5 channels or is the engl crunch replaced by the marshall ??
also isn’t vintage amp room a jcm 8oo ?? why implement that double time ??
