Engl Artist Edition Vintage Style / E653 (50w)

This amp has a very special history, it is our amp from the hidden, from the underground of the studios of Los Angeles. Based on the Ritchie Blackmore Amps E650, we designed an amp for Doug Aldrich in 2005. It should contain a few modifications, such as EL34 tubes in the poweramp stage; a lot of dynamics and sound was the mission. The concept was clear: easy handling, practical features and sufficient performance. However, this amp never saw the light of the world, but ended up in our showroom in Los Angeles. From there he made the rounds through various studios of the music metropolis. Renowned greats like Jimmy Page, Ken Hammer, Vivian Campbell, Paul Stanley and Scott Gorham played him. Mr G. M. put him in the studio in the last few years before his death. Due to the great response of world-class players, we have decided to raise this model from the prototype stage to the status of an official ENGL amp.
