About Engler Innovations, LLC

People (and even guitarists) begin as experimenters; bravely toddling on two feet, grabbing on to any piece of furniture that will support their adventure across a living room. Practice steadies us, step by wobbling step, but creativity leads us to new places!Creativity drives experimentation, and anything that helps us push into new musical territory is worth the adventure. Modern guitarists are surrounded by a digital soundscape. Stomp on a pedal, flip a switch, or click a mouse, and a world of post-signal effects is there waiting . . . which is pretty awesome, but it becomes easy to forget the source: how a guitarist interacts with their instrument.The Engle is one of many "acoustic effects," like slides, picks, capos, resonators, whammy bars, etc., meant to broaden the sonic boundaries of that interaction between a guitarist and their instrument. The list goes on and on because . . . experimenting with tone and trying out new things is a LOT OF FUN!!!I invented the Engle in 2010, because I thought it would sound pretty cool. After a couple of years and many prototypes, I can say it does everything I hoped. The Engle provides a guitarist the tonal clarity of a hammered dulcimer when playing single strings or chords, and incredible rhythmic variations that aren’t possible when using just fingers or a pick. Now, with our new interchangeable head for the Engle, "The Soft Touch", the exploration goes even a step furtherWhen guitarists see the Engle, they often comment that they once, "tried that with a drumstick", or, "used to do that with a pen". My question to them is, "Why did you stop?". Try the Engle today! You are only minutes away from an exciting new sound!Best Regards,Mark Engler
