Engl Ironball Special edition
All-round tube amplifier
The Engl E606 Ironball Head 20 SE is a practical all-rounder. The 20-watt head has a two-channel preamp with no fewer than four 12AX7 tubes. The power amp houses two EL84 tubes. If full power is too much, you can also reduce the Ironball 20 SE to 1 watt. From crystal-clear cleans to crunch and the thick metal wall of sound, both channels feature a switchable boost with plenty of headroom. Distorted guitar tones can be enriched with the built-in delay and reverb effects. If you love brutally tight palm-muting, you can make use of the built-in noise gate.
Engl on the outside - Engl on the inside
The Ironball looks the part in its black-silver metal housing, yet weighs only 7 kg. The typical Engl sound is delivered quickly. Whether in the living room, the studio or on stage, the E606 Head impresses! Three-band EQ and an additional presence control in the lead channel clear the way for splendid guitar rhythms and solos. The impedance can be switched between 8 and 16 ohms, and a suitable cabinet of your choice can be connected in no time.
Recording king
You can also record the Ironball Special Edition's sounds silently via the built-in Recording-Out. Eight different cabinet simulations, each with its own tonal character, invite you to try and experiment. Performance is monitored via an adjustable headphone output with an emulated signal for quiet practice. Not every tube amp can do that! If things need to get loud, power can also be reduced using the Power Soak feature.
What at first glance looks like something taken from a cockpit quickly reveals itself as the successor to ENGL's popular Ironball Lunchbox amp. The 20 watts can be reduced to 5 and 1 watt, making the Ironball the perfect companion in the rehearsal room, the studio and at home. It also offers eight memory slots for impulse responses, so the amplifier can be used with headphones only or recorded via the XLR direct out. The toggle switches on the front panel can activate the internal reverb and delay, the noise gate, a master volume boost and the tube-buffered effects loop. The comprehensive functions of the ENGL Ironball can also be controlled by a separately available MIDI foot controller.

For more than 30 years the Engl brand has been inspiring players with outstanding tube amplifiers and cabinets made in Germany.
