I was too. What sold me on the Ironball was that the fireball was sold out with no date of when it’s coming in From there I liked the idea of the iron ball because of all the extras it has. I am thrilled with it. I can make the iron ball sound more like a fireball with OD pedal. I use an MXR badass. So I think I found the best of both worlds.
great video as always man and congrats on the new amp! it sounded great on that SWOLA and looking forward to hearing more of what you come up with on it!
I bought one about 6 months ago. I love it! what sold me on it was the overall tube tone plus the di outputs, and then the built in effects. i was coming from using a Freidman run and this thing for me blows the Friedman away. It blows it away because of the features. And if it didn't have those features, I would still like it more due to the higher gain.
Awesome. The features are great!! The built in effects especially the delay is amazing. You are so right, it’s got a lot of gain yet likes an OD pedal too. Engl did a nice a job of making the iron ball and fireball different in gain stages. I’m glad you liked the video. Please feel to subscribe to my channel, you hear a lot of stuff with the ironball. Stay well!
Indeed. It’s good to have that variety in my studio. With a distorted bass and or my Solar with the distortion plus pickups it does the job. I have only had it for a week so there’s still a lot of experimenting to be had.
Thank you Larry! I think I buy one for live Gigs. BTW i just Found your Channel and i really Like your Videos and you seem like a great person! I am looking forward to your videos
Hi. I can truly say I don’t think you will be disappointed. Thank you so much for for watching the channel. I will continue to try my best to out solid content for everyone.
Did you consider the Revv G20 before grabbing the SE? It's 20w as well but uses 6V6 tubes which have a bit more grunt in the low end. No built in effects like this thing but it does have the 2 Notes captor IR loader so you can get reverb on your DI signal.
First happy new year and thank you for watching the video and supporting the channel. Honestly I didn’t consider the Revv but that’s a nice choice. I really decided I wanted Engl fireball but they were sold out so I stayed with the Engl and tried the Ironball. I have never used a Revv but I know they are awesome.
I've had this amp since last may or something, to me the lead channel sounds awesome, even if it takes a while to dial it in as you said... my main concern with this amp is that apparently the noise gate comes after the fx loop, so if you use an external delay pedal with your lead channel and noise gate on IT WILL EAT UP THE DELAY REPEATS, which disappointed me a lot... also the clean channel sucks with overdrive pedals and fuzzes
I can agree with you on some of the issues. After using the amp regular to noticed that that if I use OD pedal or phaser I get a lot of noise. Thankfully my external noise gate pedal gets rid of any pedal noise. I feel I got lucky on that aspect so I’m still happy with the amp.
I am glad you liked the video. Between work and family time 5am is the best time to work on the channel. I saw that you subbed to my channel. Thank you very much. I really appreciate everyone that takes the time to sub and check out my music and content. From now through mid January I have content to post twice a week. Lots of stuff coming. Thank you for the support.
The delay is great. The boost is awesome too. Also my fav feature is the noise gate it is amazing!!! One day I will pick up a fireball but my tones have improved so much and the SE has been a go to amp for the album I’m recording. I highly recommend it. Thank you for watching. Please Like and sub if you want. Lots of content coming Thank you and happy holidays.
Yes and no. The no ( for me) is it is not as powerful right out of the box. Not even close. However with the ironball ( for me) it took forever to dial in the sound and tones I wanted. At first I was never really satisfied until I did my first recording with the ironball. Which leads me to the yes. when I have it mic up either with an e609 or SM57 it sounds great and sits in the mix beautifully and then sounds very powerful . The two amps are very different. And hey, thanks for watching.
I'm on the fence between an Ironball SE and a Fireball 25. If they make a fireball SE I'm sold.
I was too. What sold me on the Ironball was that the fireball was sold out with no date of when it’s coming in From there I liked the idea of the iron ball because of all the extras it has.

Played it once and immediately fell in love. Now getting one for myself.
Solid move. Since I got one it has been a go to amp for me.
Liked for the Engl, subbed because of the hard work and getting up early before work to record.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you for the sub.
Sounds absolutely fantastic!!!!! 🤘👽🤘
Congratulations man, sounds massive. Great review.
Thank you!!!!!
great video as always man and congrats on the new amp! it sounded great on that SWOLA and looking forward to hearing more of what you come up with on it!
It’s a fun amp. I’m still experimenting. I’m learning which of my guitars work best with it. Thank you for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Are u on FB. I wanted to reach out to you.
@@larrymartins3014 hey man, yeah I am. I'll send you my FB details on discord

Cool video man! The amps sounds really awesome...good choice! 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you!!!!!
Pausing television to go and play with new guitar gear ... you sir, are doing things correctly. Great video mate. The amp sounds great to me.
Thank you. Of course my jets lost but at least I got the amp. 😀
Sounds pretty good for more of a hard rock sound. Glad you could make it fit your needs and enjoy it!

Inspired by your discipline man ! 5 a.m to make videos, I Really Appreciate the video

Ironball se or fireball 25 for metal? I really like the built in delay and gain boost of the se.
The delay is great. The boost is awesome too. Also my fav feature is the noise gate it is amazing!!! One day I will pick up a fireball but my tones have improved so much and the SE has been a go to amp for the album I’m recording. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for watching. Please
Like and sub if you want. Lots of content coming
Thank you and happy holidays.
Which overdrive pedal would suit best for the Ironball, TS9 or DS1?
Thanks!
To be honest I don’t know. I have not tried those. The OD I do use is an MXR badass OD which works very well for me.
Does it sound as large as the Fireball 25?
Yes and no. The no ( for me) is it is not as powerful right out of the box. Not even close. However with the ironball ( for me) it took forever to dial in the sound and tones I wanted. At first I was never really satisfied until I did my first recording with the ironball.
