Engl · amplifier

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.
