Engl E530 Preamp - Lead preset

Verified · 91/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The E530 is ENGL's one-rack-space tube preamp, built around two ECC83s. A Clean channel (treble, bass, middle) and a Lead channel with its own post-gain treble, bass and middle each have a footswitchable low/high gain setting, giving clean, crunch and two lead sounds. Bright and Contour switches, a stereo effects loop, frequency-compensated stereo line outs and a small headphone amp make it a compact recording and rack amp.
