Engl · amplifier
The ENGL Savage 60 Mark II is a 60-watt all-tube 4-channel guitar amplifier head from ENGL Amplification, Germany. Sharing the Savage 120 four-channel architecture with Clean, Crunch I, Crunch II, and Lead positions, the 60-watt version delivers the mid-rich, high-gain ENGL Savage character at a wattage suited to smaller stages and studio recording where the 120W full power is impractical.
