Hi Dirk,I currently have a MT-15.Would you say this amp is a big upgrade on that amp or not really ?thanks
@dirkjanson8808 3 жыл бұрын
@@gazzaduce3424 Hi Gazza, i tested the MT-15 once in a store. I liked the wonderful clean tone very much. I think the lead tone of the MT-15 is more "traditional" compard to the Fireball 25, which is more "modern", but also realy nice. In the end this is a matter of taste. I love the typical Engl-gain which is powerful, but stays precise. My main reason for buying the Fireball is the powersoak. I can do silent recording and practising with power off at home without disturbing our two small children. I go from the line out into a Torpedo C.A.B. M from Two notes and than into a mixer, headphone, PC... 1 W or 5 W Power is nice for band practice, 25 W is really loud and in most cases enough for stage. The amp is really flexible. If you appreciate the powersoak/silent recording and the specific sound of the amp it's an upgrage from my point of view, if not, you can stay with the MT-15, which is also a great amp.
