Engl E651 Artist Edition

De ENGL E651 Artist Edition is het vervolg op de legendarische E650. Deze versterker is in 1996 ontworpen als signature amp van Ritchie Blackmore. De geschiedenis van de nieuwe E651 gaat terug tot 2005, toen niemand anders dan Doug Aldrich al plannen had om de E650 nog eens te overtreffen. Hiervoor gebruikte hij vier EL34 buizen die ook al ruimschoots hun reputatie hadden verdiend. Jarenlang is de nieuw ontworpen versterker gebruikt door grote artiesten, zoals de gitarist van KISS. Op de NAMM 2015 presenteert ENGL eindelijk de E651 voor de gewone burger. Met deze ENGL haal je stadionallures in huis!





It all started in 1996 when the ENGL Ritchie Blackmore Signature Amp was released and a legend was born! It is to this day one of the most beloved and successful ENGL amps. In collaboration with none other than Doug Aldrich ENGL built a special amp in 2005, based on the E650. The concept was clear: simple handling with maximum performance. Some alterations were made, including a change to EL34 tubes and after some coming and going between Germany and the USA the perfect version in terms of sound and dynamics was designed. For quite some time now this amp is sitting in the Los Angeles ENGL Showroom and is still in use for studio sessions.

Just one year later in 2006 an amp with the same features was handed over to Gary Moore who used it as a studio amp until his unfortunate passing. Within a short time, word got out about this version and artists such as Jimmy Page, Ken Hammer, Vivien Campbell, Paul Stanley and Scott Gorham put in their orders. Jimmy Page still has his in the studio. You can also hear the great sound live on stage with Paul Stanley (Kiss), Scott Gorham (Black Star Riders) and Ken Hammer (Pretty Maids). After so many years and dropping jaws we finally decided to unleash this beast to the outside world.
