The latest collaboration between ENGL and the legendary Steve Morse (Deep Purple, Dixie Dregs?), the E658 Steve Morse Signature 20 head packs everything you could want into a compact and convenient format to take with you: a warm and articulate clean channel, a Lead channel with a classic rock tone and just the right amount of aggressiveness. Versatile, it can switch from a smooth and creamy sound to an aggressive and punchy tone in the blink of an eye. Its 20W output power, combined with a power attenuator, allows you to push it to its limits while keeping the volume controlled during rehearsals or on stage. Equipped like a pro, the E658 head features a noise gate allowing you to play without hiss even at high gain, a delay, a reverb, a headphone and XLR output with speaker simulation via IR, and can be controlled via MIDI. Whether you are a fan of Steve Morse’s playing or simply looking for a versatile and powerful amp, the ENGL Steve Morse Signature 20 is an amp worth checking out.
