Axe Palace 15th Anniversary ENGL Artist 100 KT77 Edition Amplfier Head Pre-Order

In celebration of our 15th anniversary, we partnered with our friends at ENGL to produce an exclusive custom amplifier for us! This is a KT77 Artist Edition 100 with a "Black Snakeskin" tolex, blue LED illumination, special AP anniversary insignia, and signed by Mr. Engl himself. 

Limited to 15 pieces. Available in both US and EU voltages. Now in stock!!

The Artist 100 we believe to be ENGL's best all around amplifier. And now with the addition of KT77s, you will get even more balls, punch and aggression. The Artist 100 spans from crystal-clear clean, to a dynamic rich crunch, to full on brutal/modern high gain. All while sounding very organic and not scooped/compressed. It is also voiced perfectly where all controls can be noon, no fuss or time wasted.

History of the Original Artist Edition

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.
