The ENGL Marty Friedman Inferno (E766) is a 100-watt tube amplifier head designed in close collaboration with Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman. Powered by EL34 output tubes and four ECC83/12AX7 preamp tubes, the E766 features two channels (Clean and Lead) with four selectable voices: Clean, Crunch, Soft Lead, and Heavy Lead. Each channel provides independent 3-band EQ, gain control, and switchable gain boost for dialing in extreme distortion. The built-in noise gate with rear-panel threshold control manages high-gain noise, while the tube-buffered FX loop with balance control integrates external effects processors. A bright switch adds extra bite across all channels.
The ENGL Savage 120 Mark II (E610II) is a 120-watt all-tube 4-channel guitar amplifier head from ENGL Amplification, Germany. Four MIDI-switchable channels — Clean, Crunch I, Crunch II, and Lead — provide comprehensive tonal coverage with ENGL characteristic mid-rich high-gain voicing, integrated precision noise gate, and extensive per-channel EQ with voicing switches. The Savage 120 is particularly distinguished by its ability to maintain note clarity and tightness at extreme high-gain settings, delivering a mid-forward character that cuts through dense mixes.
