Engl Ritchie Blackmore Signature 100 E650 - Lead preset

Verified · 92/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Blackmore Signature 100 (E650) is a 100-watt ENGL head launched in 1996 for Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple and Rainbow, a slimmed-down Savage. Clean and Lead channels each have a low/high gain switch, so the two channels give clean, crunch, soft lead and heavy lead, with Bright and Contour switches, two footswitchable master volumes and a tube-buffered effects loop. Four ECC83s and four 6L6-type power tubes give it a warm, vintage-leaning voice.

Schematic-derived preset files for 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
