{"product_id":"engl-e-656-steve-morse-signature-100-381165","title":"E 656 Steve Morse Signature 100","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ENGL E 656 Steve Morse Signature 100 is a signature amplifier developed to meet demanding specifications: a wide range of tones, exemplary note-by-note definition, and the ability to remain clear in dense arrangements. Within the ENGL lineup, it is positioned as a high-end head oriented towards modern versatility, with particular attention paid to the mids (a key area for band presence) and switching (Masters, MIDI, presets) to instantly switch from one register to another without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Amp Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis head is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a tube amp capable of covering multiple roles: studio (precise takes, controlled noise thanks to the noise gate), rehearsal (power reserve and headroom), and especially stage (tone recalls via MIDI, Master A\/B, and effects chains via loops). It is especially suitable for styles where articulation is essential: modern rock, hard rock, melodic metal, fusion, prog, as well as guitarists alternating tight rhythm and expressive lead. If you use multiple guitars (single coils, humbuckers, different tunings), the Mid Control Matrix on channel 3 helps you immediately find the right place in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe E 656 offers \u003cstrong\u003e3 channels\u003c\/strong\u003e each with \u003cstrong\u003eindependent Gain, Volume, and EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it easy to create three truly distinct sonic identities (for example: clean, crunch, lead). Channels 1 and 2 feature a simple and effective \u003cstrong\u003e3-band EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e to quickly balance bass, mid, and treble according to your cabinet and guitar. Channel 3 stands out with the \u003cstrong\u003eENGL Mid Control Matrix\u003c\/strong\u003e : instead of a single mid control, you have \u003cstrong\u003e8 combinations\u003c\/strong\u003e between lo-mid and hi-mid, ideal for adjusting attack, roundness, and projection without changing your overall setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the control side, you benefit from \u003cstrong\u003eMaster A and Master B\u003c\/strong\u003e (useful for a volume boost in solos or two output levels), as well as voicing switches: \u003cstrong\u003eTone\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGain Hi\/Lo\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDepth Punch\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003ePresence\u003c\/strong\u003e control to refine the upper spectrum openness. The signal management section is tailored for modern rigs: \u003cstrong\u003eparametric noise gate\u003c\/strong\u003e to keep playing clean even at high gain, \u003cstrong\u003e2 effects loops\u003c\/strong\u003e to integrate modulation, delay, or multi-effects, and a \u003cstrong\u003etuner output\u003c\/strong\u003e to stay in tune without disrupting the audio path. Finally, the head is \u003cstrong\u003eMIDI controllable\u003c\/strong\u003e (MIDI in, MIDI thru, \u003cstrong\u003e128 presets\u003c\/strong\u003e ) to recall complete configurations from a controller, switcher, or stage system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e4x EL34\u003c\/strong\u003e tubes and \u003cstrong\u003e100W\u003c\/strong\u003e power, this amp delivers a typically \"all-tube\" response: a crisp attack, generous dynamics, and natural compression that comes in a musical way when pushing the power stage. The \u003cstrong\u003ecleans\u003c\/strong\u003e can remain solid and defined, with a nice reserve before breaking up, while the \u003cstrong\u003ecrunch\u003c\/strong\u003e gains grain and bite without losing chord precision. In \u003cstrong\u003eoverdrive\u003c\/strong\u003e, the ENGL signature emphasizes clarity and low-end sustain: perfect for tight rhythms, clean palm-mutes, and leads that maintain clarity. The major asset remains the work on the mids: the \u003cstrong\u003eMid Control Matrix\u003c\/strong\u003e allows switching from a thicker, singing lead to a sharper, more projected register to match your playing and your place in the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
