ENGL Amplifiers

Here it is: the ultimate 100-watt, all-tube high gain amp. Built for the most discerning of amplifier aficionados, the ENGL E670FE is an updated version of the legendary E670 Special Edition. The original Special Edition amp spent years in the studios of Edmund Engl — the founder of ENGL amps — and was played by many iconic professional guitarists, who all had their own unique thoughts and requests when it came to tone and performance. Over the years, Edmund Engl and senior designer Horst Langer tweaked the Special Edition multiple times, and the updated Founders Edition was made available for ENGL’s 40th annievrsary. The E670FE — supreme in a stunning black finish with chrome knobs and an in-your-face red-lit front panel illumination — has been tuned and revoiced, but still retains the crushing tones that made the previous Special Edition iconic. The amp, which features five ECC83 preamp tubes and either four 6L6 or four EL34 power amp tubes, delivers a massive range of sounds across its five channels (Clean, Crunch, Lead I, Lead II, and Tubedriver) and nine voicings, from crystal-clear cleans to searing high-gain distortion and everything in between. The multiple onboard sound-shaping options — ranging from powerful EQs and separate gain controls on each channel to Gain Boost, Hi Gain, Mid Shift, Contour, Bright, Mid Edge, Modern Classic, Mega Lo Punch, and Depth Boost switches, alongside a built-in Reverb — help make the Founders Edition one of the most versatile amplifiers ever created. Perhaps the most unique and special aspect is the Tubedriver channel, which bypasses most of the amp’s inner workings to offer the most pure circuit and all-tube tones imaginable. On top of that, the E670FE — which is handcrafted in Germany to the highest of quality standards using only the finest components and materials — packs a wide array of practical features for the demanding modern guitarist who accepts only the best. The amp is MIDI programmable, so players can save their favorite settings in up to 128 presets with the use of an optional external MIDI controller. There is also a threshold-footswitchable noise gate, a power tube monitor, three tube buffered FX Loops, a line output, and multiple cabinet output options on board. ENGL founder Edmund Engl, says, “This amplifier is the culmination of our 40 years of experience in crafting high-quality amplifiers that deliver uncompromising tone and versatility, and it is sure to take any guitar player’s tone and performance to the next level!"
