Six amps, 72 tones, endless versatility
Ampthology Vol 1 isn’t just a taste—it’s a full buffet of ENGL fury. The pack includes 72 Tone Models drawn from six legendary amps: the Fireball 60, Powerball MK1, Invader 100, Savage 120 MK1, Savage 60 MK1, and the pure-tube ENGL Straight. Each amp has been captured in multiple ways, including Amp, Amp + Cab, and Complex Rig Tone Models, ensuring players can move seamlessly from raw amp tones to full rig simulations.
Built for studio and stage
Thanks to the power of the TONEX Modeler, these captures don’t just sound like ENGL—they feel like ENGL. Ultra-responsive, phase-perfect, and mix-ready straight out of the box, they’re optimised for both the studio and the stage. And because they’re part of the TONEX ecosystem, they run on Mac, PC, iOS, the TONEX Pedal, and the new TONEX ONE, with full compatibility even in the free TONEX CS software.
The ENGL sound without the hassle
From crystalline cleans to bone-crushing distortion, Ampthology Vol 1 delivers ENGL’s defining tones without the volume, weight, or maintenance of a tube head. For guitarists chasing the pinnacle of high-gain tone, this is as close as it gets to plugging into the real thing.
