ENGL Savage for "classic rock"?

[Fredrik-Ablaze]

So I'm in the market of changing my guitar rig (selling of a JVM 205H and a 5150II because I find the 5150 to agressive to the music I play now and the marshall isn't versatile enough)

Got offered to trade the peavey for a Savage 120 but im not quite sure that that is the way for me to go either?

The sound I'm looking for is kinda ACDC over the top, a pretty rough distorsion sound with plenty of crunch but still a tight low end.

I'm more based towards getting an ENGL blackmore, but still... It's a pretty good trade, so advise me fellow sneapsters.

We sound something like www.myspace.com/egonaut

If the Savage is in good condition, I say go for it. It's worth a shot. The Savage seems to be a very versatile amp. Worst case scenario: You wind up selling the Savage for more money than you would get for the Peavey anyway....?

 

[Sloan]

Yeah, dude, as far as I know, the Savage would go for more than the Peavey so there's no reason NOT to try it out!

 

[Machinated]

I think the Savage will do a good job for classic rock - 2 crunch channels, a lead channel, and a clean channel, and the amp itself is quite midrangey and crunchy.

 

[Fredrik-Ablaze]

well I've gotta shell upp about 350 euro inbetween, if not I would have traded immediately.

 

[Metaltastic]

Still worth it I'd say, I dream of owning a Savage!

 

[Tommy Gun]

yeah, still worth it.

I had three Engl's (screamer savage 120, invader 100), three Marshalls (900, 800KK, JVM210), a Mesa Stiletto and a H&K Switchblade on a shootout, and the Savage is the one I'm missing.

So youre telling me to go for it? Even for playing "gubbarock"?

 

[Altitudes]

I long for a ENGL Savage

 

[Noumenon]

do. it. now.

 

[outoftune]

yeah. I own the savage and love it !!!

 

[Altitudes]

Not trying to derail the discussion but, which do most of you prefer: the Savage or Invader? I never played on either

 

[Tommy Gun]

The Invader has more than anyone could ever need. It's truly a BEAST. But, IMO, the Savage is more practical and user friendly. Plus, the Savage is tried and true. My money would be down on the Savage.
