Engl Steve Morse E656
Product information "Engl Steve Morse E656"
After a year of intensive research and development, Engl has created the ultimate amp that Steve Morse was looking for: the Engl Steve Morse Signature100. The E656 Steve Morse Signature is a 3-channel all-tube top with an EL 34 driven 100 watt power amplifier. The three channels have been specially adapted to Steve's needs and have some special sonic features. Channel 1 is capable of delivering sparkling, glassy clean sounds, but beware: Channel 1 can also produce fat, punchy crunch sounds, because it has much more gain than you would expect from a standard clean channel and it reacts very sensitively to the guitar's volume pot. Channel 2 delivers the pure rock sound and has been designed to respond optimally to virtuoso rhythm work and riffs. The perfectly tuned mid-range and the gain structure always give it the necessary punch. For channel 3, Steve wanted particularly versatile control options for the mids and with the new Engl Mid Control Matrix,Engl hasgiven him (and of course every other guitarist) maximum control. Four! Mid controls that interact with each other and a tone switch allow the user to choose between 8 different mid ranges. The Hi/Low Gain Switch allows each of the three channels to work in two different gain modes, giving us 6 different gain structures to choose from. Further features of the Engl E656 Steve Morse Signature are the integrated noise gate, two freely selectable FX loops and, of course, the option of storing every conceivable setting via midi in 128 memory locations and recalling it with a midi foot controller (e.g. Engl Z - 12/Z - 15). The Signature 100 is a successful piece that Engl has customised for Steve Morse. The outstanding dynamics of channel 1 alone are reason enough for every sound gourmet to check out this amp. If you also consider the manifold possibilities offered by the Mid Control Matrix in channel 3, it is advisable to bring a little more time to the test!
