ENGL, a brand widely respected for its high-performance amplifiers, has unveiled its latest innovation—the EP635 Fireball IR Pedal. This 2-channel preamp pedal is designed to pack the unmistakable Fireball amplifier tone into a compact, pedalboard-friendly unit that blends analog power with modern digital flexibility.
The EP635 Fireball IR Pedal captures the raw aggression and precision of the ENGL Fireball amp and delivers it in a format tailored for gigging musicians, home players, and studio professionals alike. By maintaining the brand’s signature clarity and gain structure, the pedal offers guitarists a versatile and powerful tool that meets the demands of both live and recording environments.
At the core of the pedal is its dual-channel configuration, allowing users to switch effortlessly between two independent tones. Each channel stores its own knob settings, enabling smooth transitions during performances. An onboard Midboost function enhances the tonal range by providing additional punch, ideal for solos or cutting through dense mixes.
To further improve performance under high-gain conditions, ENGL integrates an advanced noise gate to ensure clarity without the interference of unwanted hum or hiss. One of the standout features is its IR (Impulse Response) capability, which allows users to load their own cabinet simulations via USB-C using included software. This means players can customize their tone with studio-grade cab models directly from the pedal.
The pedal also caters to modern practice needs with a built-in headphone output, allowing for silent rehearsals without compromising sound quality. Tonal shaping is made precise and intuitive through dedicated knobs for Volume, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, and Presence. The rugged design of the pedal ensures durability, while its control layout offers ease of use for quick adjustments on the fly.
In terms of connectivity, the EP635 Fireball IR Pedal features a 1/4” input and output jack, a 1/8” headphone output, and a USB-C port for IR loading. It runs on 9V DC / 300mA (center negative) power, with the power supply sold separately.
With its blend of authentic ENGL Fireball tone, digital flexibility, and road-ready construction, the EP635 Fireball IR Pedal stands out as a compelling choice for guitarists looking to harness powerful, customizable sound in a streamlined format.
