*** On order, coming soon *** 

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.
