You have thoroughly filled the void that Ola Englund left after he stopped doing routine gear reviews. I'm watching every video you put out, keep it up! :)

Loving the tone of this at 8.47 . As someone considering this vs an ironball i cant wait to see the next few uploads. Cheers!

I want a 10 hour loop of the intro chuggs. I've been all over your channel but never heard anything like this. I'm a chug connoisseur and you are the chosen one

If you add a foot switch, you open up a couple features besides the usual just switching of channels. With a foot switch you get a volume boost and the ability to switch on and off the loop.

Killer tone for such a small amp! I'm a big ENGL fan. I really like this series on ENGL. 🤘🤘🤘

I love you testing amps man, you got the best critiques, cheers man!

I have the FB25 with the 212pro cab! A favourite amongst my amps, and the DuncanSolar pups on my V1.6C is a match made in hell! Gritty high gain right up my alley🤘🏻

I love this amp!! My favorite out of the low watt amps!! It will never leave my collection!!

got one, love it. great video, looking forward to engl month.

appreciate how you get straight to the point and actually know what youre talking about.

Ive owned evh, mesa, peavey lunchbox amps and i agree the Fireball 25 kills them all. Not only louder than the others and holds together well while cranked- but the 1 watt setting for low volume jamming gives you that great tube saturation that the other lunchboxes just dont sound great at low volume. This little amp is so killer I got the 100 watt and that one destroys everything imho. Great review and on point opinion.

I bought a used one from GC to try out and was impressed with the amp honestly, but it sounded very similar to my recto's and 5150 and just returned it. Plus I read that the way they are made the amps are hard to work on and honestly that was another reason for the return, but good sounding amp honestly. \m/

I run this through a ENGL pro horizontal 2x12 and/or a Mesa traditional recto (not mini) horizonal 2x12. Everybody who's ever heard it has good things to say about the way it sounds! Love the ability to turn the output to line out for recording.

Every time I hear this amp, I lament that people mostly play it with the mid boost off. So thank you for giving us some good riffage with it engaged - it's like a magical "sound good" button!

Damn, that sounds sooo good. Love the Fireball!

I have one and love it ive been running my Helix for effects and sounds great

Sick riffs and super sick tones bro.

Bought one last year. Love it. Still doesn’t replace my old Peavey 5150 combo, but it’s a way more versatile amp with less noise.

Another top shelf video! I'd love to see you take on the new Orange OR30!

Okay damn, I really want this amp now. Super keen to hear to comparison with the bigger models!

When you switched to low output pickups you hit a sweet spot that made me drool. I love that you tried very different guitars. Sounds like this amp could basically do just about anything. Allegedly it has a clean channel too. And how dafuq does this channel only have 27k subs? That seems completely wrong.

Kyle, you're killing me! Here I am, trying to build a home studio from absolute scratch... I don't even have a 2x12 yet, just a non-belligerent open-backed 1x12 & a Jet City Picovalve! And yet you continue to taunt my bank account with Fireball dreams! No, I must resist. I need my 2x12 and a Synergy SYN-2 for the home studio! Don't inhale Kyle's G.A.S.! Love the video, your insight is wonderful into these high-gain beasts. Keep it up!

Just the sound I need! Great review.

I've got an Engl Fireball 25 and I love it! I play it through a Genz Benz G-Flex 2x12. I hear it even has a clean channel. The pedal switches are stupidly priced, though.

I own the older Fireball 100 and its still to this day the best amp I've ever owned. I used it to record a black metal cover of a shock blues song from the 60's using that amp, my SW cab loaded with Fane speakers (Think they're the Sovereign model, but I could be wrong). That thing gives off a sick as fuck black metal tone

Finally! ENGL week/month! The Fireball is pure raw fire in tonal form.

The Boost on this amp is tight. Eq on both channels are perfect match. German still do great pieces of tech. I am using it on a 4cm with my hx stomp. A loud and balance beast. I do not use any noite gate even. The dynamics are immense. I have 2 Telefunken speakers from 1953 and they are still running, again, german tech.

Very cool...little more metal than the MT15 it seams by this video would love to see a shootout of both...i love my MT15...but now want an ENGAL

Hey Kyle! Thanks for a great video! Just ordered mine. :) I've seen alot of videos where it's being used together with a load box like the two notes captor X. Is there a difference using that kind of setup compared to the allready built in line-out? I allready have a bunch of good cab sims in my DAW. Cheers!

Still rocking my one and only tube head, destroys the small amp competition.

If you like the Fireball, you’ll love the Artist Edition. It sounds like a modded Marshall mixed with a Mesa Mark series.

Dude this amp rips! Thanks for the badass video 👌

dang that amp was born from a jackal pure evil i luv it bro awesome

Yeah, that Mud Killer with the PT, was on point 🔥

I want one. They’re a little bit pricey in Canada.

I have this amp with the engl 2x12 and love it 🤘

Yeah Kyle!! 15:30 that is a gnarly tone, holy s^%$

Sounds great bro.

Love these little things

👍👍👍 I'm sold, thanks!

Thanks for the demo! I tried a mini-rectifier and the volume i needed to get it to sound good was way too loud for my apt…does this thing sound better at lower volumes? Also, do you use attenuators?

oh man, last riff is a piece of art. reminds me good old OTEP.

Im holding off for a savage 25. hopefully my patience pays off

Just got the Fireball 100, blows my fking mind! My buddy played it and went and got the 25😂 I can't say enough about these amps... even though I mainly play high gain brutal stuff, I can play 80s metal/hair/glam and it sounds amazing with the right tweaks. Plus I finally gave the clean channel a whirl😮 omg... downright HOLY...I farted around with the shimmer reverb and it felt like I could collapse the house if I kept it up 😂

The Fireball 25 will be my next purchase. I have the Fireball 100. A little loud for a bedroom amp. I mainly use my REVV G20. How do you say the G20 compares to the Fireball 25?

I made the same face at 16:00 😈Great vid again, thanks!

Great video. Loved the tones. Sounded amazing through every guitar.

Gibson sounds great with or with out OD! Sheesh!

What 😱🤯😱 first I’m told the EVH Stealth is the best Metal amp, then some dude on Instagram told me today the Mezzabarba Mzero overdrive is the only Metal amp I would ever need … so started selling all my amps. Now wait … the Matt Damon of Metal telling me the ENGL fireball is the best Metal amp 😮

I have the fireball 25 awesome amp. I just got the KSR Orion ..Kyle you need to get one. I would say it's the best amp in my collection so far..incredible

I can't believe how good and big it sounds!

This amp rocks with synergy setup in four cable.

Finally Kyle! Great job showcasing this beast of a mini head. I have this and dsl20hr and it is just huge difference, specially for modern gain tones! And even the clean channel is good. By the way, what is that first 7 string riff? I have heard it before but don't remember the name of the song.. Waiting to see the comparison with the big brother fb100

Dude you are FLIRTING with the Ashe zu Ashe riff with the Ltd Phoenix lol

I'm really curious how the Fireball compares to the Ironball 20min your opinion. To me the Ironball is even punchier and more focused.

Would it work to connect the line out to an ir loader pedal?

10:12 that tone 🔥🔥🔥

Damn! Sounds sick af

It sounded the best by far with the LP standard. Sounded more open and percussive.

Fireball 100 owner here, I love it! Kyle - if I wanted something with a different voicing for some variety what would you recommend?

MT 15 is great also. Plus it has full size 6L6’s.

Nice now I can't decide witch amp to get either the engl fireball 25 or the evhiii 50w

did you try the most basic ENGL thunder head ? it has the same killer tone...

Love mine, only amp I need.

Lucky me living in Europe :D Insane tone for a little lunchbox

Im a small wattage high gain guy and this is one of them. I wish there are something lower than 10watts. Hope to see that one day.

My favorite ENGL amp is the Invader.

Sounds sick. What about the Friedman jj Junior? Love the friedman jj

Been looking for a 6l6 powered mini head this one is at the top.

Can this Amp be enough loud in clean without significant gain to gig with a band?

just keep the output tubes without distortion , it the tube is El 84 the resistor need to be higer than 47 K , so 68 K in the PI section would help ,

Better then Mesa mark V 25?

I'm curious to see what the ENGL Ritchie Blackmore 100 has in its guts ??!!

I wonder what the difference is between this and the ironball lunchbox head? I mean tonally.

You are 100% dead on with needing to turn on the Mid Boost when using this amp live. I gigged with it and needed to turn that on to cut though better.

Its a great head, but i would still say the PRS mt15 is the #1 lunchbox head

I want to try this i've been using an MT15 and I love it. I wonder how this will compare for me personally.

The rad was going with that schec tele.

Compare it with the Soldano 30. I have this Engl amp.

I wish these were not so expensive in the USA. I looked up the price on Thomann and it’s basically half but they cannot ship them to the US

This or the badlabder 25?

Sounds good, though it sounds a bit like the signal is being compressed in the DAW or on the way in. Doesn't happen all the time, though

@KyleBull Dude what is your day job lol. You have a MASSIVE Killer amp collection for someone with a smaller channel. Really dig your content.

Plz do a 4 way shoot-out with Engl Fireball Powerball Inferno Ironball

Better then the Mezzabarba Skill? 🙀

i wonder how this compares to the mt15 as they both have full sized tubes.

Vs 5150 50s?

Had this amp and dsl20… Sold Engl and no regret…

Try the new KT77 version!

All Out War riff??? Let's go

I have the same amp but a smaller cabinet, i cant get these tones at all

should i get the recto cab or the matching cab from engl? hate lifing shit. gig on vce a month or more.

how about to compare it with the Ironball 606 SE?

Omgosh that thing is thu-thu-thu..thirteen hundred and fifty smackeroons?!

Wonder if we can get an MT15 vs Fireball25 comparison

Have you used the *Deadweald Duality DX* with it?

Engl nailed these, so much better than most other lunch box heads, cheaper and better than the Mesa badlander 25 by far

So.......headroom notwithstanding...... Those little lunchbox amps with EL84 push/pull output sections can actually be done really right, with a true 4 or 5 stage high gain preamp section and EL84Ms or 7189s if you can get 'em, or even the old leftover Soviet military equivalents (they'll have cyrillic characters saying something that looks like "6P14P-EV"). At least for recording. Headroom for a live show? Nah, you GOTTA have a mic on it and even then, if you need stage volume to hear yourself, have the cab close to you. However, for tracking metal guitar in a dense mix? They're actually sort of like a best kept secret type thing. So like, listen to a Boogie Mark V-25, recorded with the same mic(s) on the same cab, with only volume compensation is post. Solo'ed, they sound VERY close. BUT, in the mix? They actually work BETTER a lot of the time, due to the rounded character of the EL84 output. You won't need to do all that hard high-passing OR really much compressing of chugging parts, it's kinda already gone and did for you by them EL84s. That said, Engl makes MONSTERS, regardless of their size, and this is no exception. Nice demo.

Surprised it sounds better with les Paul

Compare to the JJ Jr. ????
