ENGL E725 RAVAGER IR - 20W
With the
ENGL E725 Ravager IR - 20W Head, the German brand offers a compact yet incredibly powerful amplifier, designed for demanding guitarists seeking an authentic tube sound and maximum versatility. The heir to the iconic Ironball, this head combines tradition and innovation to meet the needs of both stage musicians and those working in the studio or practicing at home.
An authentic tube sound
The Ravager IR is based on a proven architecture: 12AX7/ECC83 tubes in the preamp stage for a wide range of tonal nuances, and EL84 tubes in the power section delivering both
crystal-clear clean tones and
rich, biting distortions. This combination ensures an organic and dynamic sound, appreciated in rock and hard rock genres as well as for more aggressive modern tones.
Versatility and volume control
Thanks to its "Power Soak" power attenuator, the head easily switches from 20W to 5W, 1W, or silent mode without any loss of sound quality. This allows you to practice quietly at home, rehearse with a band, or perform on stage with the same confidence. An ideal solution for guitarists who want to keep control over their sound in all situations.
Integrated modern tools
The E725 Ravager IR goes beyond tradition: it features a
built-in IR (impulse response) loader with balanced XLR output, allowing for a realistic speaker cabinet simulation directly on stage or in recording. Additionally, it includes a headphone output with dedicated volume control, as well as USB connectivity to load your own IRs. These features open up vast creative possibilities and greatly facilitate work in the studio or home studio.
Ergonomics and portability
Compact and robust, the Ravager IR adopts the "lunchbox" format that made the series successful. Its lightweight design (6 kg) and small dimensions make it a
portable amp head, while maintaining the solidity and reliability typical of ENGL. Whether you are on tour, rehearsing, or recording, it will accompany you everywhere.
For which guitarist?
This head is aimed at intermediate and professional guitarists looking for a
versatile all-tube amp capable of covering a wide variety of styles. From bright clean tones to saturated, cutting leads, it is perfect for musicians oriented towards rock, metal, and fusion, while remaining accessible to those who want a comprehensive tool for rehearsing and recording.
With its unique blend of analog warmth and modern digital tools, the
ENGL E725 Ravager IR positions itself as an essential reference in the high-end compact amp category.
