ENGL Amplifiers Steve Morse Signature 20 E658 20-watt Tube Amplifier Head

The ENGL Amplifiers Steve Morse Signature 20 E658 works as hard as the guitarist it’s named after, packing two versatile channels of glorious EL84-fueled tube tone into a lightweight, lunchbox-style amp head. The Clean channel delivers a warm, articulate sound, while the Lead channel goes for baroque, pumping out fistfuls of crunchy classic-rock grit. The E658 brandishes a built-in noise gate for whisper-quiet performance between riffs and leads, in addition to an onboard delay and reverb, an IR loader, a tube-buffered effects loop, and MIDI capabilities for rock-solid rig integration. A headphone output makes silent practice a cinch, and a built-in power soak enables you to crank it up while maintaining bedroom-appropriate volumes. No matter how many genres you play, the ENGL Steve Morse Signature 20 E658 will tackle them all with supreme confidence.

20 watts of EL84 muscle

Despite its compact size, the ENGL Steve Morse Signature 20 E658 is a tube-fueled beast with endless tones lurking within. In its preamp, you’ll find four ECC83/12AX7 tubes — the tried-and-true source for warm cleans and harmonic-rich gain. Its power section houses two EL84 tubes, priming this amp head with 20 watts of venue-filling output. From glassy cleans to hard-rock riffage to complex solo lines, the E658 has the full spectrum of gain on tap. Beyond that, the Steve Morse Signature E658 includes a built-in power soak, enabling you to dial down its fury to five watts or even one watt.

Extensive sonic sculpting onboard

The ENGL Amplifiers Steve Morse Signature 20 E658 has one of the most flexible preamp and power amp combinations we’ve seen here at Sweetwater. You get two channels: Clean and Lead. The Clean channel serves up a warm sound with enough articulation to accommodate complex passages. The Lead channel churns out a classic-rock tone with just the right amount of attitude. Each channel boasts a dedicated Gain knob, plus you get a shared 3-band EQ, Clean Presence and Lead Volume knobs, and a Master volume knob. Finally, regardless of how you dial it in, the E658’s responsive gain stage enables you to progress from smooth, creamy grit all the way to aggressive, punchy grind with a mere twist of your guitar’s volume knob.

Professional-level features

The ENGL Steve Morse Signature 20 E658 packs a lot of player-friendly features into a pro-level amp head. You get a built-in noise gate with a dedicated rear-panel Noise Gate threshold control. Onboard delay and reverb add ear-grabbing space, depth, and dimension to your playing. The IR loader, which supports eight selectable impulse responses and includes a USB output and an IR Balanced Output jack, allows you to route authentic miked-cab sounds to your DAW or front of house — no microphone or speaker cabinet required. You also get a tube-buffered effects loop for your pedalboard and external effects processors and MIDI connectivity for integrating the amplifier head with complex stage rigs. A convenient headphone output with a dedicated Level control rounds out the E658’s outstanding feature set.
