ENGL® are back with a vengeance, unleashing their latest capture series to grace the Two notes Archives, the X-Series! Inspired by – and captured from – 5 ENGL® stock cabinets, all retrofitted with Eminence®’s Texas Heat and Swamp Thang drivers, this 10-capture strong assemblage delivers a one-stop-shop for tone connoisseurs seeking the ultimate dual driver micing experience. Better yet, ENGL® raided their legacy archive and unearthed a pair of gems – vintage 80’s E212 and E412 enclosures – both of which guarantee to deliver the perfect blend of super-rare vibe, power, presence and definition.

So, what can you expect on the all important driver front?

First up, Eminence®’s Texas Heat – an all-American guitar speaker with a touch of British voicing thrown in for good measure. Pushing a well-rounded warm – and undeniably fat – tone, complete with lashings of top end bite and clarity, it’s primed for supreme bluesy sonics that guarantee to cut through any mix with ease.

Next, the titan-grade Swamp Thang, developed specifically for the player wading into hard rock and – even harder – metal territory. It’s super-powerful; it pushes a thick, full-range and surgically tuned frequency response for an uncompromising balls-to-the-wall tone; It packs the perfect blend of sublime articulation and lashings of meaty sustain; It straight-up laughs in the face of a drop-tuned 7-string onslaught. In short, this speaker is a triumph, residing magnitudes above its counterparts and a certified must-have for the modern high-gain enthusiast.

With every capture in the X Series medley, tonal versatility is the name of the game! Simply pull back the mic on any XS capture for an immediate switch-up of your sonics facilitated via the companion driver’s complementary voicing. Better yet, open GENOME and load counterpart captures in parallel for the ultimate twin-driver mic’ing experience – take it from us, it’s your fast-track to unleashing the full potential of any X-Series capture in all its might!

It’s a stone hard fact: If ENGL® puts their name on it, it meets their exacting standards when it comes to the all-important tone department. The ENGL® X-Series DynIR cabinet collection has been expertly captured using an in-demand collection of mics and pro-grade recording peripherals to guarantee seamless adaptability from the studio to the stage.
