Engl Savage 60 MK II

Engl · amplifier

The ENGL Savage 60 MkII is a 60-watt all-tube 4-channel guitar amplifier head from ENGL Amplification, Germany. A 60-watt sibling to the Savage 120, it shares the same four-channel topology with Clean, Crunch I, Crunch II, and Lead positions and the ENGL characteristic mid-rich high-gain voicing. At 60W it is better suited than the 120W version for contexts where lower output allows the power section to contribute saturation at manageable stage volumes.
