Synergy Engl Savage Module
Synergy · amplifier
The Synergy Engl Savage Module is a two-channel all-tube preamp cartridge voiced after Engl's Savage, one of the German maker's high-gain amplifiers known for tight, precise saturation with a firm low end — a distinctly different flavour of high gain from the British-derived modules in the range. Fitted to a Synergy head it supplies that voice without a separate amplifier. It suits metal and progressive players who want Engl character within a modular rig.
