ENGL E725 Ravager IR 20 Watt Guitar Amplifier Head

2-Channel, EL84 powered 20 watt head, at an unprecedented price for an ENGL amplifier. Features built-in power soak, and IR simulated speaker output with up to four IR slots.

Key Features:

• 20W, 2-channel tube amp
• ECC83 preamp & EL84 power amp section for authentic tone
• Built-in IR Loader with four IRs (three customisable slots)
• USB connectivity for easy IR management
• Headphone output for silent practice
• XLR direct output for live and recording setups
• Integrated Power Soak for adjustable power(20 Watts, 5 Watts, 1 Watts, Speaker off)
• Compact, portable lunchbox design

How does this compare to the E606 Ironball model?

• Both are 20 watts, with similar controls - but the Ironball technically offers 4 channels, rather than 2
• The Ironball is made in Germany, the Ravager is made in China
• The Ironball offers built-in foot switchable reverb, but does not have built-in digital speaker simulation

Ultimately both are great portable "lunchbox style" tube amps, but the Ravager will suit players on a tight budget better, and may suit those who are mostly interested in a great direct recording amp - where as the Ironball offers more flexibility to live players with greater channel flexibility and foot switch-ability needs.
