Description:
Steve Morse, the legendary guitarist known for his work with bands such as Deep Purple and the Dixie Dregs, has recently announced a new collaboration with ENGL Amps. The result of this partnership is a compact signature head that promises to deliver the perfect sound for any guitarist looking to achieve the same level of precision and clarity that Morse is famous for.
The new ENGL head, aptly named the Steve Morse Signature 20, is versatile and powerful, offering a rich sound with an array of features. Equipped with two channels, it allows for countless tonal combinations.
What makes this signature head unique is its specific design of the preamp and power sections: the Clean channel provides a warm and articulated sound, while the Lead channel delivers classic rock tones with just the right amount of grit. Thanks to its powerful and responsive Gain, this head produces a rich and dynamic sound that can transition from smooth and creamy to aggressive and cutting with a simple turn of a knob.
But that's not all: the E658 also includes a built-in Noise Gate, making it perfect for high-gain sounds without unwanted noise. For those seeking even more tonal options, the head is also equipped with integrated Delay and Reverb, as well as useful features like an IR Loader, MIDI functionality, and a headphone output.
Whether you are a fan of Steve Morse's playing style or simply in search of a versatile and powerful amplifier, the ENGL Steve Morse Signature 20 is definitely worth trying. With its compact size and impressive features, this head is set to become a benchmark for guitarists of all styles and genres.
