For over 20 years, Steve Morse has been shaping the sound of Deep Purple, while also earning immense respect in guitar circles with his Steve Morse Band. To match his unparalleled versatility and tone, ENGL worked alongside Steve for over a year to create his ultimate dream amp—the E656 Signature Head. This powerhouse amp delivers the pristine cleans, dynamic crunch, and searing high-gain tones that the world's top players demand. Its unique EQ section features four independent controls, allowing for precise midrange sculpting—essential for cutting through a full band mix. With dual switchable master volumes, two effects loops, a built-in noise gate, and full MIDI integration, this amp provides the ultimate control and flexibility. Whether it’s delivering crisp rock riffs with Deep Purple or complex solo lines with stunning clarity, the E656 Steve Morse Signature Head has been a cornerstone of Steve’s rig for over a decade—and now, it can be yours. 3 Channels: Clean, Crunch, Lead All Tube Head ENGL Mid Control Matrix with 8 different Midrange voicings 2 Tube buffered FX Loops (each with Balance control) Noise Gate Master A/B Power Tube Monitor Ground Lift Switch MIDI: MIDI in / MIDI thru Engl MIDI-Footcontroller Phantom Power Switch MIDI Channel Assignment and Controller Enable Switches Write / Copy (for MIDI programming) All functions accessible on the front panel are MIDI programmable S.A.C.: Serial Amp Control port Sound Options: Tone, Hi Gain, NGL Mid Control Matrix (Mid Lo 1/2, Mid Hi 1/2) Controls: Gain (for each Channel)3-Band EQ (Channel 1 / Channel 2)Bass, Lo Mid 1 / Lo Mid 2, Hi Mid 1 / Hi Mid 2, Treble (Channel 3)Volume (for each Channel)Lo Volume / Hi Volume (Channel 3)PresenceDepth PunchMaster AMaster BNoise Gate Threshold LevelFX Loop I BalanceFX Loop II Balance Outputs: Poweramp Output (1 x 4 ?, 1 x 8 ?, 1 x 16 ?, 2 x 8 ? ||, 2 x 16 ? ||), Pre Output, Line Out Footswitch: Z4 (Channels), Z9 (Channels, Master A/B, Hi Gain, Lo Mid, Noise Gate, Hi Mid, Amp Mute, Tone, FX Loop), Z12, Z15 Preamp Tubes: 4 x Engl ECC83 / 12AX7 Output Tubes: 4 x Engl EL34 Output Wattage: 100 W Dimensions: 71 x 27 x 29 cm Weight: 22 kg
