The Savage 120 E-610 MKII is a serious contender for players chasing modern high-gain tones – think djent, progressive metal, and aggressive rock. Engl’s signature sound is here in full force, with that signature tight low-end and searing lead response. It’s a premium-priced option, but the build quality and tonal flexibility justify the investment for those who demand a lot from their amp.

Frequently Asked Questions
The integrated Noise Gate is surprisingly effective, but dedicated units will offer more granular control and potentially better results in extreme situations.
While it excels at high gain, the Clean channel offers a usable, slightly compressed tone – best suited for rhythm playing rather than sparkling cleans.
Engl's MIDI system can be a bit involved initially, but the included foot controller and programmable memory banks make saving and recalling tones much easier once you grasp the basics.
