New Amp (almost)..Savage60

[LSD-Studio]

just found someone who wants to trade his Engl Savage60 for my Mesa Simul 295...

so there'll be a new head in the studio soon (next saturday)....expect clips


I've not tested the savage60 so far but really like the 120, I know it's a cut-down version, I don't really care cause 60W is enough for me and I don't need the flexibility in the studio.
can anyone compare the distortion-sound of the 60 to the sound of the 120?

I can come over with my Savage 120 if you wanna compare?

sure, good idea!

 

[TheDude]

I like the Savage 120. I like the Invader 100 too (channel 3), and the screamer 50 is not bad either.

I really want to hear clips of this when you get it, I've always wondered how the S60 compares to the Fireball.

 

[::XeS::]

I have the 60....We can compare our little savages

 

[LSD-Studio]

....We can compare our little savages

PERVERT!


what do you think about it, how does it compare to your other amps?

 

[::XeS::]

I have only the savage.
It's a good amp, a little fizzy (it's an engl trademark) and it's not a plug and play amp like, for example, a 5150...or at least I spent a lot of time to find "my" sound.
I'm very curious about the settings you'll use.

If only the poweramp is different it should sound the same, only a bit better on lower volumes.

Isn't the savage like the power metalers ultimate amp?

There, I fixed the sentence

haha. I still haven't heard one live and they are godly expensive.

 

[gorath23]

I think they are voiced slightly brighter and clearer than the Fireball/Powerball so thats why they got the Power Metal rep. I always forget how expensive these things are in America, Engl's are really cheap over here.

 

[hoehlentroll]

hhhm. cheap? I won't call that cheap

 

[LSD-Studio]

ENGLs are the same price in the U.S as they are over here (or even cheaper!) !
it's just that your stuff (especially Mesa) is so ridiculously overpriced in europe that in comparison Engl seem to be cheaper.

example:

Mesa Dual Rec: U.S.A.: 1600$ ? Europe: 4.040$
Engl Powerball: U.S.A.: 1954$ Europe: 2.416$

Yepp, the Savage is truly superduper metal sounding.. haha

Can someone post clips?

 

[AdamWathan]

European Mesa prices are insane. I got my Single Rectifier for $900.

In the near future, I'll be visiting Lasse and we can do a Savage 60 vs 120 shootout.
