ENGL E610 Savage 120 Head

Tube Guitar Amp Head from ENGL belonging to the Savage series

Fend. Fend.
Published on 07/25/07 at 06:18
Amp lamp, two 6550 power tubes (home) or KT88 choice. And 6 12AX7 in pramplification. All for a practical power of just over 80w (not 120 watts as advertised!)
I found the lights very poor backgrounds.
I tried the Kt-88, they give more volume (again +!) And a more prcis with good bass. It&#39;s great, especially for styles tend metal.
Nanmoins, APRS have tried many things, my preferences shall adopt was on 6550 Thung-Sol, which gives a bit of fat but mostly the amp a more rich and warm that brings out the grain CHARACTERISTICS rocky rock and roll of the head!
At pramp lamps, they were ultimately very little influence on the final rendering. Other than in V1 or some lamps are worth of being tested as the Thung Sol Re-Issue Gold which tightens the grain of the amp and brings a lot of bass, perfect for one or the mtal n omtal modern. Personally, I do not like. So I put a NOS GE 12AX7 that keeps intact the characters of the amp.

The trs rglages are complete:
4 channel trs complmentaires clean/crunch1/crunch2/lead (More on that in the audio portion), by two groups to manage earnings and qualisations: 2 3-band EQ and 4 gains ( non indpendants).
A multitude of practical filters, some really useful and effective.
Two switchable master indpendants.
Two switchable prsences indpendantes and Depth-boost can last respectifs.Ce once engaged grow Whereas for low and make fat. The amp as trs prcis without a. It thus allows the amp to offer two styles of amplification well DIFFERENT! The words may seem to you be strong, but the effectiveness of this measure is rglage!

two effects loops A and B and two config:
1 - Loop A: main loop / loop B: not used
2 - Loop A: set to channel clean and crunch1 / loop B affects crunch2 and lead channels.
DI output (bad) or the power amp pramp be included.
5 HP Output: 16 ohms / 8 ohms / 8 ohms / 4 ohms / 4 ohms
3 inputs for double switches.
Between 1 to Engl Z7 MIDI Interface (forcing you to buy it in the head CONTRL pm)

The filter "Sense" is used to boost the level of input channels and crunch1 clean, very practical when moving from one skyscraper to another quip doubles team in single microphone.

It is complete but there are better. MIDI interface may be intgre, multiple small filters are not switchable or programmable effects and loops have also been able to be. Bad original lamps do not play in his favor. Trs Nanmoins of good ides as the two masters and two prsences indpendantes make it all the same MRIT trs a note!

UTILIZATION

The gain is the basis for clean CHANNELS crunch1 and clean and gain channels to crunch2 crunch2 and lead. In addition, two second SETTING THE gains are used to adjust the respective gains of the channels and crunch1 lead.
Basically it is as effective as 4 indpendants gains but we must take into account this particularity in its rglages. In this case even allows for more rapid sounds homognes on 4 DIFFERENT channels.

The amp sounds, just switch on and off all knobs noon. APRS we enter the dtail to refine. So very easy. A condition to change the original lamps!
The rglages nanmoins trs are effective.
Well this is just an amplifier of the same complex enough to justify the existence of a simplified MODEL: The Ritchie Blackmore.

Otherwise the manual is complete. It lacks just a few tips on using supplmentaire.

SOUNDS

My style:
I play for both rock and roll pure metal, my style of prdilection as a post-hardcore fusing these two styles.
And yes, in all cases, the receiver should perfection!

My instruments are:
A model "Stoker"-made by Patrick Blanc.
ESP Horizon Custom Gold a top.
Ibanez RG3120 Prestige A.
And finally, a classic Fender Start a US.

Transparency, sensitivity dynamics, attack and precision:
Whatever the SETTING THE amp, the personality of the instrument I use appears full. The amplified sound down to its slightest respect dtails the Properties of the instrument that produces sound from the ct of the chain!
Similarly, your game, whatever it is, plays an important role in the trs final sound reproduction!
This is in part a standard dynamic to recreate the exact sensitivity you have applied your attack right hand and touch your left hand. But also an attack trs important, when you slam the mdiator with punch, sends the same punch to the sound amplifier. With a formidable drive and pulling mdiator levs!
The punch is highlighted in the chest by a crunch sound impressive rvle all its power in the palm-mute CHARACTERISTICS if this amp. Palm-mute who, instead of you slobbering crasis under low standards, you schement slam in your face you in grasping the guts!
In addition, the amplifier is a precision infallible in the first three channels, even gain lev.
Especially if the grain is open and expressive trs.
It all gives you unforgettable sensations, sensations that I can find on trs few other amps (high-end gnrale as VHT Deliverance for example).

on the other hand, its qualities diminish a little if you turn up the gain too crunch2. Logical gain compress. In part we win against compression (so) and chest with palm-mute increasingly powerful.
But specialist in the channel for this kind of sound is the lead with his naturally compress and a tighter grain it is therefore dmarquer crunch2 channel for solos and are typsn omtal and co. The latter, moreover, a natural sound fatter and less lgrement prcis other channels, showing that each channel has t tudi particulirement well to be all complete trs tary and thus cover a huge range of sounds. O On his versatility.
With crunch2 on 5 ~ 6 / 10 to gain gets a big crunch of the best I&#39;ve ever had put me in the plectrum! So much so that I am using almost only this channel is used as a single channel: it is that playing the guitar volume and the sensitivity attack. Crunch2 channel is the sound of this amp! All grades are above the deficits at the same time!

All with a grain open and rocky trs living a harsh inimitable Tone, a unique personality that makes this amp one of the best I&#39;ve ever tried, and all calves, my prf r!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years now and I made lots of concerts.
And I had a ppin with:
A lamp pramp change.
Trs so solid and reliable.

The report price is really excellent quality.

If c&#39;tait again?
It&#39;s simple, basically the guitar geek that I am, I test all the amps available: Rivera, Bogner, VHT, MesaBoogie, Soldano, Marshall, Brunetti, Peavey, Fender ... you name it! (I even tried all the other Engl!)
Nothing has convinced me to change. Trs and I know that the day I&#39;ll have o Rasht me an amp that will be the one.

This is not the amp the most dynamic, most prcis, with the most attacks, the spectrum the richest, most functional, easiest ... But its texture, its sound and identity all its qualities have made me addicted and I can not imagine my riffs, my guitars, my components on a different amp than-l.

However, before this point be satisfied, it took me to change the lamps. Above all, it took him that I found the baffle which fits perfectly: a 4 * 12 Custom Audio Amplifier with Celestion Greenback quip.

If I did not put the maximum is that VHT has an even more prcis MODEL-channel Deliverance and even more dynamic. So I rve A model signature "Fend," it would be a single channel on the channel bottom of Savage crunch2 it galerait the VHT Deliverance of the dynamics to go even further in the enjoyment guitar!
And what will my signature MODEL 10/10!

We have the right to RVer! ^ ^
