The ENGL Amplifiers Special Edition Founders Edition E670FE was envisioned as the ultimate high-gain amplifier ? the culmination of the company's multiple decades of amp-building experience. When we plugged into it here at Sweetwater, our guitarists were inclined to agree. This 100-watt, 6L6-powered bruiser boasts five channels along with nine voicings, arming you with an endless array of versatile tones ranging from crystalline clean to next-level distortion. You also get a full-blown arsenal of sound-shaping controls for each channel. The E670FE's noise gate ensures dead-quiet performance between chugs, and three tube-buffered FX loops make integrating your pedalboard a piece of cake. A Power Tube Monitor provides at-a-glance information regarding the health of your tubes, and you get a Serial Amp Control for convenient remote control options. You also get MIDI connectivity and an excellent built-in reverb. To top it off, the E670FE brandishes off-the-charts visual styling with a spotlight-ready black finish, gleaming chrome knobs, and fiery red illumination.
