I was a recent guest on my grandma Glenn Fricker‘s YouTube channel, and we were lucky enough to take a look at the new ENGL Savage 120 Mark II amplifier! This amp seems to be capable of damn-near any kind of high-gain tone with the number of knobs and controls on it. We were able to get some pretty crushing sounds out of it, but you’ll have to let us know what you think (mostly for grandma as she’s hard of hearing).
The amp features:
- 4 Channels: Clean, Crunch I, Crunch II, Lead
- Power: 120 W
- Full tube design – no semiconductors in the signal path
- Preamplifier tubes: 6x Engl ECC83 / 12AX7
- Power amp tubes: 2x Engl 6550
- 2 Tube-driven FX loops with separate balance controls
- Noise Gate with adjustable threshold (footswitchable)
- Engl Power Tube Monitor
- MIDI-In / MIDI thru
- Engl MIDI foot controller phantom power switch
- MIDI Channel Assignment and Controller Enable Switch
- Write / Copy (for MIDI programming)
- All switching functions MIDI programmable (excluding Power and Stand By)
- S.A.C.: Serial Amp Control port
- Sound Switching options: Input Lo / Hi, Bright, Preshape, Contour (Clean, Crunch I), Mid Le./Bo., Depth Boost, Gain Lo / Hi, Contour (Crunch II, Lead), Rough / Smooth
- Controls: Gain (separate for each channel), Bass, Mid Lean, Mid Bold, Treble (Clean, Crunch I), Bass, Middle, Treble, Tone Balance (Crunch II, Lead), Volume (separate for each channel), Presence A, Presence B, Master A, Master B
- Controls (rear side): Noise Gate Threshold Level, FX Loop I Balance, FX Loop II Balance
- Outputs: 1 x 4 Ohm, 2 x 8 Ohm, 2 x 16 Ohm, 1 x 16 Ohm
- Line out
