The ENGL Savage 60 Mark II E630II 4-channel tube amplifier takes the revered Savage amp series to a new level of tenacity, adding player-requested functionality while maintaining the brutal tone the Savage name is known for.

Tube Amp vs Solid State -?What's the Difference?


Amazing punch and definition





The ENGL Savage 60 Mark II has been expertly voiced by master amp designer Horst Langer to deliver the pummeling punch and definition modern metal players demand. Its legendary low-end response delivers a powerful, focused sonic assault when chugging and palm muting. Two separate mid-band controls allow you to dial in the perfect amount of bite and bark, helping extended-range and down-tuned guitars to hold their place in the mix. And even the most tone-conscious metal masters like Ola Englund have noted its sweet high end response, which manages to maintain smoothness even at high-gain and treble-boosted settings.





Precision noise gate keeps high-gain tones tight





It’s no secret that noise gating is key to keeping metal tones tight and articulate. The ENGL Savage 60 Mark II is equipped with a finely tuned noise gate placed in the preamp section, the most effective place for it in the signal path. The noise gate suppresses noise on the Crunch 1, Crunch 2, and Lead channels, leaving your Clean channel unaffected. A real-panel Noise Gate threshold control allows you to dial in just the right amount of gating, transparently cleaning up your sound for ultra-tight riffage.





Ready for duty with pro-level functionality





Beyond its inimitable tone, the ENGL Savage 60 Mark II is equipped with all the functionality you could ask for on stage or in the studio. A MIDI input is onboard for advanced control options (all front-panel functions are accessible via MIDI), with a MIDI thru port for linking to MIDI-capable pedals or other gear. Dual effects loops are ready to accommodate complex effects rigs, with the ability to switch between loops via MIDI, an ENGL footswitch (sold separately), or from the front panel. Guitarists at Sweetwater especially appreciate the ENGL Savage 60 Mark II’s power tube monitor, which alerts you when a power tube fuse has blown, indicating tube maintenance is necessary. You also get ENGL’s S.A.C. (Serial Amp Control), which allows you to command various amp functions remotely with a variety of ENGL footswitches (sold separately).
