All user reviews for the ENGL E630 Savage 60 Head

Amp head lamps 60 W
- 2 EL34 power
- 4 ECC83 preamp

- (Almost) 2 channels
- Channel 1: 1 win, 1 volume, 1 presence Bright 1 switch, 1 switch Rhythm Boost, Boost 1 switch Depth
- Channel 2: 1 win, 1 volume, 1 presence, Lead Boost 1 switch, 1 switch Depth Boost
- Common: bass, middle, treble, Hi Range Suppressor, 1 master volume

Simple effective connectivity ET:
- Footswitch (stereo channel change and activation volume solo)
- Parallel loop becomes FX series with the balance to 100%
- XLR output with level control and cab emulated output
- 1 8 ohm speaker output, 1 output speaker, 16 ohm

UTILIZATION

It is a quasi mono channel amplifier, the gain of channel 1 controls the gain level of channel 2 (the two are added in channel 2). The EQ setting is common.

The sound is a compromise of the two.
The solo is actually a volume attenuator switched on (default) is the normal volume, disengaged the volume is turned down by a few dB.
The loop actually works as a series loop when it is 100% perfect for the recent multi. And parallel to the refractory.

SOUNDS

Much to say right now, the sound is EXTREMELY typed. It is dry, very clear, incisive, dynamic.
The clean sound is nice but without much relief, the gain can give a nice color.
The crunch is good, it can saturate the extreme frequencies of the attack and remain relatively light and very dynamic.
Despite this, my fire-Triamp was significantly higher in the first two sounds.
Channel 2 can be rock (deep purple) and go to the metal with the boost engaged.
The sound is really focused on the midrange, even they remain before removing with a lot of attack, the palms-mutes resemble upercut on that front, a slap to my Triamp.
That said I'm missing a little something, a little body, the sound may not be enough 'imposing' frequency, but adding him a factor in Tube boost I get what I was missing.
I connect over a PRS Custom 22 (mahogany / maple) and a Burny Les Paul Custom.
My guitars are loaded with bass, and it sounds good with the amp is because just a little low, and I play Do.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little less than a year. I love its simplicity, this signature sound. I have the version without standby, a real problem since the power tubes are expensive, I think he have one installed.
The amp is rare and not given OCCAZ, but this is the price for an amp that has a signature sound. I love this amp and compromise on the fact that the gain is shared, I even bought it!

I find it unfortunate that there is no relay to activate the boost channel 1, because you suddenly choose between light and crunch.

All Tube Amp

UTILIZATION

I put a bit of time to find the right settings, but it's worth looking ... for me the best amp I've ever had.

SOUNDS

Used mainly saturated sounds, I do not would pronounce on the clean channel (or almost never used)

Before buying (about 10 years ago now) I had tried nearly everything, and powerful sounds, warm me excited!

I recommend to metalheads like me, it's a killer! I said he is obviously not suitable for playing at low volume, it sends 60W lamps severe and too low volume lights are not the best for themselves.

OVERALL OPINION

I played it for 8 years, sold to regret following the judgment of my group. (Not suitable for play only at home)

I would buy without hesitation!

I LOVE THE SOUND - POWERFUL HOT - I RECOMMEND TO A 200% metalheads

Amp 60W lamps.
4 lamps prampli ECC83 and 2 EL34 power tubes.
Outputs 8 and 16 ohms and an output line.
No effect Intgr.
The receiver is rugged and trs changing lamps is very easy.
It is plenty powerful for live (I play the 2 master volumes and channel 5).
The MODEL HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED ... dsormais

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use but inconvnient is that there is an equalization for 2 channels (clean and lead).
However, each channel possde his own gain but the clean knob affects that of lead.La prsence and volume are as clean each channel.

SOUNDS

This amp is the reputable ENGL Fidler. Trs versatile of the big clean distortion through the crunch, it does not dlaisse one type of sound for another.
The clean is slamming trs, many mdiums but at the same time a heat discrte that the sound is not loud or aggressive.
The distortion, which m'intresse the most (I play the style mtal Tool, A Perfect Circle ...) is really a surgical precision! While clearly defined, especially the bread ... It has a lot of gain but not the sound amricain Randall; No normment low once again have the mdiums that dmarquent. The knob "Hi Range Suppressor" provides a good diversity of sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

Apart from the common to cean EQ and distortion, there is nothing wrong. I think 120W is too much, 60w is more than enough and we can push it so that it sounds better. I play with this amp pop, post-rock and mtal, and it rings of hell in all cases!

All Tube amp head (in 4x12AX7 pramp 2xEL34 & power) Annona 60W.
For rglages, there are two channels (clean and disodium) with legalization common gains SERIES 2, 2 & 1 master volume, and SETTING THE prsence and depth "depth" in section power.
Note the knob "high range suppressor" that affects the rendering of acute and mdiums.
At the rear, an output of 8 ohms and 1 of 16, an effects loop with level dry / wet adjustable, a line-out.
Finally the head is strong, and at the dimensions must be a one of the most compact of the brand: 60 cm wide for only 15 pounds (compared with the screamer).
CHARACTERISTICS aa level looks really nice, especially since the visual is super nice (the grid that suggests lights and the beautiful logo ENGL).
Only BMOL, the lack of footswitch that m'empche here to the maximum.

UTILIZATION

Usage is simple enough to just do you spend a minimum of time.
Both gains are in SERIES, the knob "gain" acting on both channels while the "lead" only works on the Distortion channel. It's the only thing notable for the rest nothing complicated.
A good place to remember: if you use a 2-way footswitch with the head, a switch is ddi change the channel, the second offers a volume boost (can be 3 or 6 dB, I know too), ideal for example for solos

SOUNDS

If one were résumé of this head sounds in a word, it would be: Versatility!
this head can do absolutely everything, but without reaching the highest peaks in the sound it diffrent dlivre.
The clean is trs good, but hot as rglages lens, a good slap when necessary. But in any obviousness has n'gale not a good Fender or Boogie
By activating the "rhythm boost" you get a good crunch trs invoice, near the Marshall with the teeth in mdiums CHARACTERISTICS in Engl.
The lead is also gorgeous, as is the DIFFERENT SETTING THE Tone (even if they are not as effective as in Boogie) rvlent their full potential. Is obtained sounds big rock hard but mtal no problem.
However the head is not Designed for no, and for the really extreme mtal better go see the ct of the Fireball or Powerball.

OVERALL OPINION

Finally a good rev head amp, super versatile, which is now only used for a price of about 1000, and is well worth the.
Pity qques small default as qualo common and no footswitch.

60W all-tube head, which is more than enough for a good watered again (by the sound of the guitar, and not by the battery = D)
It's effective and it is more than enough!
For the rest, the other 2 are responsible opinion very well to describe
Indeed, we regret the standby, and a small noise, as the beast away!

UTILIZATION

One branch, you listen, it's that simple to go buy a baguette!
It is immediately sound just right, which is not the case with other amps like mesa recto and others.
You turn a knob, "hmm .... c it better" then another .... and presto!
It will still fiddling with the knobs to achieve what is desired (and it is the ultimate pleasure!)

Otherwise, a small flat for the equalization is done for two channels.
If you really can not do without, we must pass over the 120W of the same reference (I have not tried, but according to some opinions read, it seems that it is very nearly the same )
Not even need a manual, the ears are used to that!
This head will be welcome to you, noble roots that does not know what to do from a manual to t. ... well you know what I mean.

SOUNDS

I mainly play metal, death metal to be precise.
As for the guitar, I play Ibanez EMG rise (81-85) or Epiphone LP
This head is connected to a speaker vintage Harley Benton, the famous brand German site (the vintage V30 is installed for it). Even with an average bill of baffle, the sound is excellent!
And I am well served!
The sound is magnificent lead:
The grain is really a high accuracy (known for the brand for that matter!)
You can spend a quite a foil to another much more in the bass.
Of course, you will not find the bass of a Mesa, but that's not what we are looking for! If you want a Mesa sound, well ... you buy Mesa! Nothing new in there ...

So, for against, being in the middle of the metal, some of you, especially the petty (not well) say that this is not music and we love the clean. Well think again! I do. A good clean can not hurt "?"
This is the first thing I noticed about this amp. It is round, etc etc ...
So if you invest in this amp, it's not a distortion!

OVERALL OPINION

Before that head, I played with a pedal Toneworks AX30, in other words after the war is not so far away! But I had my own sound, and had a little apprehensive to change. It's been 8 months now I have, and he did by no means disappointed.
I can not say I tried 36000 models before this one, but still few, and this is by far that I was most pleased ...
So, put 850 in the head ... YES! Well worth the cost!
For my part, I will change my cabinet, for Engl or Mesa (also mounted V30 of course!), Which may give an even better sound.
With experience, I would definitely do it again this choice

All 60Watts amp head lamps 4x12AX7 in preamp and power 2xEL34 original mine mounted with KT88 Standby (2 versions available with a small flat so helpless for this version).
2 channels clean and distortion equalization common (2 gains series rhythm and lead) with settings of presence and volume two independent outputs 8 and 16 ohms on the back + an effects loop with volume control (Dry / Wet) and a line-out (Line out) and the output footswitch.

UTILIZATION

Configuration very simple, it is far from the dashboard of a Boeing 740 (mesa type) so everything is apprehended very quickly and the sound is great, but then very quickly there, and quite convincingly. Note the presence of multiple boost knob including a high range suppressor that acts significantly on the level of treble and midrange, which makes the whole very flexible and very responsive to the settings so it's all good. Only small downside to the equalization is not a common problem in my opinion because it bounces quickly to change channels while playing with the volume of the guitar which acts (as the guitar) as a boost and allows for addressing the potential of the clean sound of the amp even with the gain mounted at the bottom of rhythm and lead. I does still not the maximum for a detail that can be - for some users.

SOUNDS

I do not deprive myself of removing even the smallest flats on all of the amp in this category because the sound is simply incredible versatility of a disconcerting if not putting many amp I've experienced up to now. It clearly addresses all styles and always so clean. The clean sound can be warm and slamming at will as well as the distortion can be sharp, incisive and very heavy (the high range suppressor is for something), the crunches are great so much so that rediscovers the meaning of word and controls the presence and volume of the two gains that encourage flexibility. I read in a previous com 'was that the distortion of surgical precision, and I totally agree, it requires them to be very clean (which is not displeasing to us) and you make it good. I play an Ibanez Vai signature jem7vwh and as I quoted above, the volume of the guitar acts as a boost and the amp responds very well to changes in position of microphones ... In short, the opinion reflects the views only me but it's really very good only if you like grain ENGL which once again is doing very experience in this amp. Something else, it reacts very well to the pedals (as long as the plug into the loop) I use a TC Electronic Vintage Delay and I encourage all owners of this amp one day to test the combination, all talk about him well ...

OVERALL OPINION

I tried several amp before this one, with several brands including Hughes and Kettner switchblade to Triamp and the Mesa Boogie Dual and Triple Rectifier, Soldano, Randall and others, I would not say it is better (what is best after all ???!!) I would say only that my seduces with its grain, its versatility, its presence and he follows me in all styles that I approach while staying very faithful to himself (the grain) ... The price / quality ratio is obviously striking 800 to 900 euros on the second hand market (Yes because it is only now available in the market, which in my opinion is the only real downside, I will say one thing, why set up such a model?? the benefit of the 120 Watts version of course, but 60 is already a lot So in conclusion, a choice to re- eyes closed, without hesitation ...

Head lamps 60W, 2 channels, each with many boost / eq switch to: boost the gain, boost the treble (bright), bass boost

+ Presence control on each channel independent (big advantage ...)

In short, a little head well equipped, well thought out.

UTILIZATION

Simple. Peculiarity of the machine: a gain setting of the common 2-channel preamp.
The high range surpressor as its name suggests cutting the high frequencies. Suffice to say that with this setting, the treble and presence, we can refine the acute hair!

Z4 Footswitch rudimentary: we would love to control the boost up to double the canals and enjoy fast and all these "options".

SOUNDS

The Savage 60 provides a clean right, without particularity, it will be good pickups / effects to get out of something special.
The crunch is a rapper, with a rated crude rather angry. The attack is not dry but it sounds cool so far. Very impressed by the low saturation: a microphone and then split rather feeble, Savage still sends puree, bass boost thank you, thank you the overall dynamics of the amp. Its clear the weak attacks, big crunch punchy attacks on big! Strong point of the amplifier.
Saturation Engl typed: accurate in the bass hump in the high frequencies. Tremendous headroom.

Do not compare to the Fire / Powerball: the E630 is not specifically tailored to the metal unlike the latter.
A change lamps preamp was necessary, they sound very origins of incisors! Ditto for the cab at any V30, am better settle with another HP for a more open and warm. Attention therefore used stuff around if you do not want to sound too sharp.

OVERALL OPINION

What surprised me most during the first grip is that it rang on the first adjustment comes, it's the first time I feel this good.

Surely the amp of the most versatile of the mark, it can engage as well as the funky rhythmic riff heavy.
Evolution of Sovereign and out of production in 2002, it is now replaced by its comprehensive 120W version, same grain but less sweet, more sharp.
