ENGL Amps Savage 60 Mark II Head E630II
The Savage 60 Mark II is a four-channel tube amplifier built for players who demand articulate aggression without sacrificing clean tones. This all-tube design delivers 60 watts of power across four distinct channels—Clean, Crunch I, Crunch II, and Lead—with a fully signal path free of semiconductors, ensuring organic tonal response from input to output.
Tube Architecture & Amplification
Six 12AX7/ECC83 preamp tubes and two EL34 power amp tubes form the core of this amp's sonic palette, providing harmonic richness and natural compression that responds to your touch. The all-tube design means every stage of gain and tone shaping is tube-based, delivering the responsive dynamics and natural breakup that lets you sculpt your sound from whisper-clean passages through thick, saturated leads without digital interference.
Connectivity & Control Features
Two tube-buffered FX loops with balance control let you integrate your effects chain while preserving tonal integrity through the amp's core signal path. Full MIDI In/MIDI Thru connectivity enables complete remote control of all functions, while the footswitchable noise gate and power tube monitor provide real-time control and protection during performance.
