ENGL - E633BO-KT77 Fireball 25 Blackout

The ENGL E633BO-KT77 Fireball 25 Blackout guitar amp is well worth a look if you’re after an amp capable of adding plenty of character to your distorted sounds. The Fireball range is renowned for its high-gain capabilities, with precise bass, punchy mids and a response that remains well-articulated even when you crank up the gain. Here, the KT77 power tubes further enhance this character with a sharper, more incisive tone.

You have a Clean channel for clean passages and a Lead channel for achieving thicker, more aggressive distortion. As the gain is adjustable separately on each channel, you can set up both sounds and switch between them easily whilst you’re playing. The EQ then lets you adjust the character of the sound to suit your guitar, your tuning or simply your personal taste. The Mid Boost can also help you bring out the mid-range more when you need extra presence.

If you already use pedals or external effects, the effects loop makes it easy to integrate them into your setup. The Power Soak allows you to reduce the power output when you want to recapture that tube character at a more reasonable volume. The Noise Gate built into the Lead channel, meanwhile, helps to maintain a cleaner overdrive by limiting unwanted noise.
