Steve Morse, best known for his work with Deep Purple and Dixie Dregs, has teaed up with ENGL for the brand new Steve Morse Signature 20 head.
The Steve Morse Signature 20 head is a two-channel, 20-watt head with four Engl ECC83 / 12AX7 preamp tubes and two Engl EL84 output tubes. The Steve Morse Signature 20 offers a tube buffered FX Loop, a built-in noise gate, and on-board delay and reverb.
For additional tonal options, the Steve Morse Signature 20 also has an Impulse Response (IR) loader USB port, as well as an IR Selector Switch. The head features MIDI In as well alongside the option to store (and select) MIDI. The Steve Morse Signature 20 head is controlled by two Gains (one for each channel), a 3-Band EQ, Clean Presence, Lead Volume, and Master knobs.
“What makes this signature head stand out is its unique preamp and power amp design,” wrote Engl of the head. “The clean channel offers a warm and articulate sound, while the lead channel delivers a classic rock tone with just the right amount of grit. With its powerful and responsive gain stage, this head produces a rich and dynamic sound that can go from smooth and creamy to aggressive and punchy with just the twist of a knob.”
