Great comparison, it's clear you can dial them in quite similar. I had the 1666 a few years back, and I don't think there's a heavier mod out there, esp with with it's low end.
Mmmm.....might have to pick one up again....
Arrrgh, what have you done!?!?!

Also been thinking about the XMG+ a lot, and it sounds great. It's clear why Rob hasn't made an EnGL type mod, he's basically got it there!

thanks mate for your input ,The XMG+ is an absolute beast ,Its got a huge bottom and cuts through amazingly,The salvation 1666 has more gain on tap and sounds killer too ,And your right about the ENGL comparison on the XMG+ also its amazingly quiet for such a high gain mod

Nice video....I enjoyed the tones from both mods...The 1666 still sounds great even though it's been improved upon with Chupacabra....The XMG+ sounds good too - when I had one I that it did the ENGL thing alright...The notes just always sounded gated to me....And yes, I know there is no gate...I guess it's that I am not used to such a quiet high gainer... ??? ... Perhaps I just don't play with German-flavored tone very well...

Nice work Alex. Next time you come round we might have to film the whole high gain shootout we had going yesterday.

I thought I was the only one who'd had that experience with the XMG. I couldn't get a fluid lead sound out of it at all.
