A go-to legend for punishing metal tones.

The Savage 120 Amplifier embodies ENGL's rich legacy of punishing metal machines. A favorite of Exodus' Gary Holt, as well as Dimmu Borgir, Sodom, and Primal Fear, the ENGL Savage 120 has metal bonafides to spare.

Developed by Brainworx, and available exclusively for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces, the ENGL Savage 120 Amplifier plug-in is an exacting emulation of this beastly, standard-bearing tone monster.

Features:

  • Exacting emulation of the original, legendary ENGL Savage 120 Tube Guitar Amplifier.
  • Four assignable channels: Clean, Crunch 1, Crunch 2, and Lead.
  • Three-Band EQ per channel.
  • Four gain stages and a separate volume control for each channel.
  • Rough/Smooth mode selector for the Crunch and Lead channels.
  • Two independent voicing and master sections per channel.
  • EQs, Sensitivity switch, Bright switch, Lead Boost, Contour switch, and Hi-Balance control.
  • 100 advanced Impulse Responses (IR) to catch all styles and genres from high-gain to creamy-clean sounds.
  • FX Rack includes host-syncable lo-fi delay, noise gate, tight and smooths filters, and power soak with pre and power amp bypass.
  • Physical input impedance and hands-on control of Gain staging with Unison technology.

UAD ENGL Savage 120

Excellent plugin of one of the most probably most flexible, best adjustable and tweakable amps ever.

Usually defined as Metal amp, but also the clean and crunch channel are extremely flexible adjustable and sound fantastic. The lead channel anyway.

The plugin itself sounds excellent, also the built-in cabinet IR's are well selected for this type of amp. But also the rest of the channel strip/fx-section with a lot of useful features, which are typical for this series, differ these plugins from a lot of others.

The two other Engl amps in this series do not convince me so much sonically in comparison, sound a little bit too sharp and scratchy for my taste, but they also meanwhile are older ones, but this one simply is a perfect masterpiece without any weaknesses.

If I only had been allowed to use a single amp plugin, I most probably decided to use this one - for almost everything.
