As some of your guys know, like Alex, I own many of the most coveted plexi style amps in existance today and am extremely anal about the tone and - just as importantly - feel of my amps. This weekend I had a chance to jam for the first time in a while and knew I had to take a rig that could cover the gamete of tones (southern rock to progressive metal type tones), and didn't have the time to load a bunch of gear, so I chose the Engl Morse, Z-12 midi controller, 1981 Boss DM-2 and my favorite Mojave straight 4x12 cab. Long story short, I had forgotten just how good the Morse is and was once again reminded why after so many MANY amazing amps have come though my tone cave the Engl Morse still remains.
It sounded flipping AWESOME all day and the feel is fantastic just as it always has been. It literally made me play better than I've played in a while. I've spent all of the very limited time I've had to play over the last two years on my Friedman's, Cameron's, Bogner's, etc, etc, that my old workhorse hadn't had the cover taken off of it for quite some time. So I got up today, got my coffee, locked myself in my tone room and started doing head to head's with my other favorites and it held it's own against any amp in the room and when you add in full midi program-ability, 2 - FX loops, noise gait, four channels, boost, mid matrix, and on and on, the pallet is endless. But most importantly it does all it does and still sounds amazingly articulate, clear and FEELS amazingly responsive to your every finger and picking nuance. I am going to do some demo clips and post ASAP. If you've played every other Engl and still haven't played the Steve Morse Sig, you haven't played the best Engl ever. It is unique among the rest, and it's the ONLY Engl that will satisfy the deep cravings of an old plexi addict. There probably is no better single amp on the planet this good at covering damn near everything and sound as flipping amazing while doing it! IMHO And I've damn near owned them all - literally! Hail Engl - German engineering is still some of the best on the planet!
