This amp has a very special history! It is our hidden gem, the secret prototype that became legendary as it passed between the iconic studios of Los Angeles. Based on the E650 Ritchie Blackmore amps, we designed an amp for Doug Aldrich back in 2005. It was supposed to feature a few modifications, such as EL34 tubes in the power amp stage; increased dynamics and unmatched tone was the mission. The concept was clear: easy handling, practical features and peak performance. But somehow, this amp never saw the light of day, and never get released.
Instead, it ended up in our showroom in Los Angeles. From there, it made the rounds through various studios in the music metropolis, and was played by renowned greats like Jimmy Page, Ken Hammer, Vivian Campbell, Paul Stanley and Scott Gorham. Mr G. M. himself put the amp in his studio in the last few years before his death. And, finally, and due to the great response from these world-class players, we have decided to raise this model from the prototype stage to the status of an official ENGL amp! Now it’s yours to enjoy.

The Musikmesse 1984 in Frankfurt was a great year for ENGL and laid the foundation for a success story that is second to none. The first programmable guitar amp was simply a sensation, something that had never existed before. Back then, when two channels and a master volume on an amp already counted as comfort features, ENGL's futuristic concept was equivalent to a landslide.
Edmund Engl had the brilliant idea in the early 1980s. He wasn't an electronics freak, but a musician. He saw things with the pragmatic necessity of musical practice and thought that such a programmable amplifier would be ideal to have a wide variety of sounds available via footswitch.
From this moment on, Horst Langer comes into play, the technically savvy friend and ENGL's technical mastermind from then until today. With his know-how, he was able to realize every idea, any ENGL amp is a child of his mind.
