ENGL Fireball 100 Blackout 100-Watt Guitar Tube Amplifier Head

You’re probably well aware of the ENGL Fireball 100’s iconic status as one of the world’s most respected high-gain, all-tube amp heads. Now, ENGL Amplifiers introduces the Fireball Blackout Series — a striking new all-black edition of these face-melting amps! With the Fireball 100 Blackout, even on the Clean channel, you can usher in shimmering crunch tones by pushing the gain control up past 12 o’clock. Over on the Lead channel, though, the gain really gets to flourish and unleash its true potential. The Fireball is ready for any kind of metal playing, no matter how heavy. You might get all the distortion and high gain sounds you need — leave your pedalboard at home! The Mid Boost keeps the brutal sounds front and center, while pure 6L6GC tube power brings copious amounts of punch and sophisticated gain structures. Combining the legendary Fireball sound with a bold new aesthetic, the Blackout Series delivers the tight low end, cutting mids, and articulate high-gain performance that have made the Fireball a favorite among guitarists worldwide. Hand-crafted in Germany and built to ENGL’s uncompromising standards, the Fireball Blackout Series is designed for players who demand both exceptional tone and unmistakable style.
