ENGL Fireball 25 E633
Engl · amplifier
The ENGL Fireball 25 E633 is a 25-watt, two-channel tube amp head built around two 6L6GC power tubes and four ECC83 or 12AX7 preamp tubes, delivering a tight, controlled chug even when pushed into its most aggressive, ferociously overdriven settings, a hallmark of ENGL's high-gain metal-focused amp design philosophy. Its clean channel offers bright, chiming tones that smoothly break up around noon on the gain control and beyond, while the lead channel picks up where clean ends and offers essentially limitless gain suited to any style of rock or metal, both channels shaped further by a 3-band EQ, a mid boost switch, and presence control, alongside a built-in power soak letting players push the power amp into natural breakup at bedroom-friendly volumes and a built-in noise gate to keep high-gain tones clean between notes.
