Yesterday my search for a new amp ended with the arrival of the UPS man :D
He delivered an
Engl Savage 120 head.
For a long time I was convinced that the Hughes & Kettner Triamp MKII was the one for me (demo'd it at LGs & came back to Feline's stand
drooling :lol:), but it's a little bit more than I wanted to pay & gradually I started to think more about Engl. What finally made my mind up was a work colleague in Munich assuring me that the Engls have "fantastisch!" high gain sounds :) The twin FX loops swayed me to the Savage over the Powerball. Perhaps it was a gamble without actually demo-ing one for myself, but so far it's been worth it.
Will post more about its sounds once I've had a chance to really let fly at high volume & explore all the features but for the last day or so I've been wearing an ear-to-ear grin :twisted: Suffice to say the Savage is very well named :)
Here's a reasonably close pic:
I have the TC-Electronic G-Major in FX loop 1 for the clean & crunch channels only, then the BBE in FX loop 2 for the lead channels. The Korg tuner got shunted out by the BBE until I get round to buying a 4U rack case :)
Here it is with my cab, pedals & a couple of guitars:
(guitars are my Holy Diver-equipped RR1T & trusty old Flying V with Miracle Man bridge)
Happy Antag :)
