Steve Morse Signature 100

(Click for Hi-Res Picture)

The Steve Morse Signature features a 3-channel amp concept including a 100 Watts EL 34 power amp section. Channel One can also deliver sparkling clean sounds to support Steve’s awesome fingerpicking technique, but be aware: Channel One can also deliver fat crunch sounds
since it has more gain than you would expect from a standard Clean Channel. Steve’s advice is to roll off the guitar’s volume knob a little to let the sparkling clean sound shine. Channel Two features pure rock sound, designed to respond fast to Steve’s awesome rhythm skills and
virtuoso riffs. Well dressed midrange and gain structures will let you cut through any mix. Channel Three gives you the most intense sounds you might have heard so far. To suit his needs for playing with any midrange he wants, Steve was asking for some really innovative concept. Screaming sustain and versatile midrange EQs.
 

 “It performs like any ENGL amp, with that pure, clear high end. This Signature Edition gives you more midrange control than any other amp on top!”

The new ENGL MID CONTROL MATRIX was perfectly designed to give Steve (and of course every other guitarist) a maximum of midrange control options. Four midrange controls that interact with each other plus a tone switch that can be used in conjunction with the controls
give the player 8 different midrange sounds to choose from. Perfect for Steve Morse, one of the worlds most respected guitar players, this sound will cut through in any given situation.  The overall Hi / Lo gain switch allows the 3 channels to be played in two different gain modes which will support 6 available gain structures at a glance.
Combined with the amp features that made ENGL an industry standard, like Midi Control, integrated Noise Gate, 2 FX Loops, Tube Protection and outstanding German craftsmanship, the Steve Morse Signature amp will bet the perfect sound machine for dedicated guitarists and tone gurus – just like Steve Morse.
