Got an ENGL Savage 120 MKII recently! I love ENGL amps a lot. They just do it for me because of the excellent high gain tones but also because of the versatility. The cleans are always excellent and the crunch tones are great too! The EQs tend to be really reactive too unlike other amps, I particularly like how that gives you so much control over your tones. So I love my Fireball 100 and Powerball II a lot for those reasons. However, people kept on bugging me about the Savage 120 MKII so eventually I got one!
This amp definitely is very nice on many levels! One thing that I didn't even realise is that the amp only has 2 powertubes, the 6550s. Apparently those tubes have a lot of juice in them! The lead channel is amazing obviously and clean and crunch I are also really nice! I'm not overly fond of crunch II and I don't really need two crunch channels anyway but it's there if you need it
As with most ENGL amps this amp handles a wide range of tones from sparkly cleans all the way up to tight and modern extended range metal and literally everything in between. Plenty of tone shaping options too like the contour switches, depth boost etc. Etc.
Is it better than my other ENGLs? I don't know, I love them all so much tbh. This one definitely does its own thing and the lead channel does sound very brutal yet refined, so it always sounds good with minimal tweaking basically, that's pretty rad!
As always, here's an in depth look at the amp with various clips and guitars through all the channels. I also included dialing in sections for all the switches and channels so you can hear how they react and affect the tone:
