Savage MK 2 Slays. I've owned both the original and MK2. I kept my MK 1 for the old school sound and it's just a little more aggressive, but the MK2 is no slouch, it's an amazing design and the enhanced mid range gives you the ability to get some modern sounds out of it along with getting a tighter sound with extended range 7/8 string guitars or lower tuned guitars. My only qualm about this amp is the Master Volume and how it differs from the Mk 1. You really have to crank this quite a bit to get the same level of volume out of it, and it also doesn't have the stacked dual gain on the lead channel like the old one, which I think is nicer on the old one and gives you more control The other thing to note is the contour mid range frequency has been changed a bit for more of that enhanced midrange and they reversed the functionality of the contour button. The amp is sick as fuck though and very versatile. \m/
Anyone who likes the Engl sound but doesn’t need a trillion features....the Fireball is an absolute *monster* amp. I’ve had a Fireball for the last 10-15 years (bought it in my 20s when I had no money) and it’s an unbelievable amplifier. I’ve toured around with guys who had Engl SE heads, Savages, Powerballs, and the Fireball is every bit as ferocious and angel crushing...
Thank goodness. I saw the title of this video and for some reason, thought Glen was gonna smack-talk my Avalon 737 preamp. Didn't realize the numbers were different until I went into the studio to look at the unit. I'll continue to love it (mostly the EQ and the gain) until Glen says I'm not allowed to anymore lol.
iirc the Tone Balance knob only works when the Rough/Smooth switch is set to Smooth. on Rough it does nothing. the amp also sounds much better in Rough mode so that knob is mostly decorative.
@@KyleSevenoaks yup! plugin alliance has the best hardware models imo. Neural DSP is probably tied for best tone overall. plug in alliance has a lot of metal amps: engl savage 120, diezel VH4, diezel herbert. three of my go to amp sims.
@@gaukarmadhouse Actually I am a tube guy and I can hear difference in tube swapping but it is not that night and day sound Glen was saying tube guys are.If you played the same tube amp and never changed tubes in years and then bought new ones,matched sets and compared to other new matched sets and start swapping within the same matched rating that is when you hear it,at least for me.
I love the sound of the Savage, and equally cannot afford one, but I did end up getting a 400 euro second hand Engl gigmaster head. Absolutely does a kickass job, and has that classic midrange uber saturated Engl snarl that I was looking for where you pump the input gain and it sounds like its on the verge of kinda blowing up
With a speaker selector and a couple different speaker/cabinet combinations this really can be a "one size fits most" amp. Now to get rid of a few amps I never use and grab me one of these...
GLENN!!!!!!! Can you get a hold of a Mesa boogie badlander and do a fearless gear review of it it's got a built cab clone and I hear it's a more modern take on a rectifier, I want to see if it's worth the money it's going to be or if someone's better off just saving for a normal dual rec
I just watched a 5 minute long ad where they just performed a classical sounding piece and the guy sang really high. I better get a heart for that 0.001 Cents i earned you, Glenn!!
"Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn..." 😊 By the way, you'd have to tune down a whole step for that. The original is in A minor, but the root note of a lawnmower engine is a G. The more you know.
You missed dialing in the best setting for ENGL Savage metal tone: Crunch 2 Gain: Max Lead: 11 o-Clock Lead boost: off Contour: off EQ - whatever you want :)
@Paranoid Drummer jeez dude, chill. I just pointed out, it's the most known ENGL Savage setting that really get's it screaming and chug, and it's tone that Savage is known for. Every amp has something special about it that it's known for. Just saying, owning one, and having multiple guitars with all of different pickups and setups, this is starting point that sounds amazing. Cheers.
@@hannes1734 I know I'm not a guitarist too. But I would write musician then instead of drummer if you're playing more than one instrument. It's just his comment doesn't make much sense because the settings he showed were of course just a rule of thumb/ a jumping off point. It would still be great to try it and see what happens, that what humans call trying different things out and using their imagination.
Glenn: If you want to watch a 45 minute video, you can watch it on Henning Pauli's channel. Me: Well...thanks (but no thanks) to Governor Witless, I'll have plenty of spare time for that.
just for shits and giggles, i want Glenn to reamp a mix through something stupid like a pocket Marshall. i want to see really good musicians tracking and getting into it, but accompanied by the world's worst tone.
that amp is so good it even makes everyone playing sick metal riffs instead of Prog Djent lol always wondered how does it compare to Invader, seem to be similar
I have an Invader 100 and had a Savage mki. Invader is definitely smoother, less compressed and has more low mids and body. While it isn't as tight as the Savage, it is by no means "loose" (no boost needed)
More KNOBS, always need MORE KNOBS : ) thought mesa boogie were the Knob kings..... to quote Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, "I sir, the more they overtake the plumbing the easier it is to Stop up the Drain.".. : )
I'd really love to hear your opinion on the Engl Savage 120 vs the Engl Savage Synergy module. Obviously, the module doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but I wonder if the core distortion sound gets remotely close to what we just heard in this demo.
You've had it for a year and have no idea what all of it does? And bass players are stupid? Fuck, that's not only stupid, it's lazy. And what kind of aneurism was that? Sounds like, "brand aneurism." Besides that, guitar players want shit simplified, often not even a tone knob on the guitar. Yet, many bass players have two different pickups, on-board EQ, the ability to switch between an active and passive circuit, and a blend knob to control the relative output of each pickup. "I actually don't have a clue," is the most accurate statement Glen has ever made. Great Engl amp though! Thanks for the quick look/listen!
Hey Glenn, perhaps you should consider re-titling the video to "Harder than..." or "More difficult than..." rather than "Worse..." as that word might suggest the amp isn't any good. As someone who enjoys tweaking my guitar tones, I think having all those options is great - and the amp sounds really good, too. Just a thought.
I love that demo mix song, sounds kinda like Ghost could be if they weren't so soft. This amp sounds incredible, especially in the mix. There's so much versatility in it, too. It costs a lot, but shit it might just be worth it.
Maybe its that I can pilot a 747 that I dont have difficulties with this amp, but in my opinion its not more complex the ENGL 646. And Im a BASS PLAYER!!!
I just watched Philip McKnight review the Engl fireball 25 and I was impressed. Lets see how this does. Also, while watching that I thought of a question. I know nothing about professional recording so allow for that when reading. Can you record a physical amp (as opposed to a sim) straight to your recording software without a speaker? Edit: I asked if it's possible, not whether you should or shouldn't. Further edit: after watching - amp goals!
Our best amp tech here in Auckland is semi retired and getting quite ancient. He is getting fussy about what amp jobs he takes on (he likes vintage restorations best). He really dislikes these amps with layer upon layer of PCB, but he will still work on them. If I call him and ask him to work on an amp he will ask "is it a Peavey?". If I answer no, he will usually work on it. I have to remember to ask why he is not fond of working on Peavey amps. If I took this Engl to him, I can imagine his look of "why are you doing this to me?". I wonder if that is the real reason I avoid multi-channel amps, i.e., pitying our poor old tech guy :D
I was thinking "Breaking the Lobster". I was more bothered with the Keesel shirt whilst playing a P.R.S. guitar!😜 Very dope amp though. I would drop the cash on one given the funds and opportunity. Well that and the load box as I don't have the desire to set up the cabs as it would limit my time to work on tracking guitars to the daytime hours. Late night is usually the time I have to do any recording.
Gleeeeen I've never been this early. 2 questions for you. Is ezmix2 worth investing in? And second what do you think of sonarworks headphone calibrating in regards to mixing. Very curious. Also I commented before I watched the whole video because I wanted to jump in before everyone else could beat Me to it. Fuck from west Michigan.
Awesome glen I never see enough of your content but seen i dint ring the fkn bell lol.any way awesome love yer channell not really a studio guy I am a self taught guitar player I play cause I love it never claimed to be good but 30 years off and on im ok lol.im from london ontario Glen I cant figure out where your from Vancouver ? Either way keep up the good work.
Unlike most ENGL amps, this one doesn´t seem to be muddy, also the Lead channel seems to have more settings, than the classic Powerball high gain mud...
The noise gate feature seemed to cut out a lot of the attack and the high end of the guitar, other than that. the amp sounds great. Definitely an amp for the more OCD tone tweakers.
@Paranoid Drummer “A little eq” means dicking around for me personally lol. I prefer to get as close as possible to the sound I want before recording if not I’ll spend too much time questioning and tweaking the guitars sound in post.
@@gaukarmadhouse Dear bass player, think about using the knobs on the front of the amp ;) More seriously, there are plenty of easy ways to get less treble harshness :P
@Paranoid Drummer Y’all didn’t understand what I was trying to say. I prefer to get the sound right at the source not after . Obviously I’ll lowpass and highpass filter and do some surgical eq generally in the upper mids. I even use the Fredman micing technique so I don’t have to post-eq as much.
@@gaukarmadhouse I think @Paranoid Drummer was talking about pre-EQ, too ;) Unless you get a horrible room sound, it's always prefereable indeed. That said, putting the mic off-axis also makes the sound way less harsh.
Wondering which soul of a deceased metal god has taken possession of that amp. As Rammstein said: "Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden, wird nach dem Tod ein ENGL werden." 😊
When I shopped for a new tube amp a few years back, I couldn't get a decent tone out of the Savage. Way too many knobs to tweak and none of the combinations sounded perfect for me. Ended buying the Invader. Zero regrets. Fewer knobs, literally every and any combination sounds great.
@@SpectreSoundStudios I haven't taken any. Good thing I don't have to play bass. It'd be a disaster. How are your lessons going, figured out how to read yet?
Well I can't deny it is a versatile little bugger. BUT - wow that thing looks complicated, like you would probably find sounds by accident, rather than knowing what you want and dialing it in. Nice thing though.
Is it another "bookshelf, homestudio, house-shoes, kill your neighbours" amp? Know a lot of these.. Or is it a good "out of the bus 🚌, get on Stage - on top of my boxes Rock and roll all night🤘🏼, back to the bus 🚌 another town" amp??? Please, Tell me that Studio work horse 🐎..More than that??? Whats the difference to comparable stuff and what are these??? Does it come close to mesa ... or hughes& ...??? I like the band, by the way. great play ...
its versatile enough to be the perfect amp for the home studio. As an owner of a 100w powerball, i i do not doubt the versatility but the need and joy that you will find in having a 120 watt amp. I found a guy with a basement studio and my amp is there. Maybe those torpedo live things could work thats where i would look next. I tried a rivera silent sister for years (starting 2012.. i think) and for recording its far from awesome. For practise its more than good enoug, and if you are one of those i need to kill everybody by cranking the master volume guys (and willing to carry a lot of shit) than your sound guy might hate you a little less for that if your using it live. BTW the savage2 sounds amazing.

Fucking hell that snare sounds awesome. The engl aint half bad either
Woulda went with breaking the lobstah!! Or Lobster Law!
An amp should have only two knobs; a volume and one that goes 'Less Metal' to 'More Metal'.
That is seriously an awesome idea
I'd buy that
LOUD -/+ and METAL -/+ and call it the "Bare Bones"
No, it should be a 2D morph control where you have a pentagram of different metal styles at each corner, and you can blend in between them.
Ya! you would use your pre EQ and pedals to make your sound and the amp would just metalise the hell out of it!
Tone balance only works in smooth mode. It works sorta like a real weak presence
Any on e struggle with the built noise gate on this thing??

For practise its more than good enoug, and if you are one of those i need to kill everybody by cranking the master volume guys (and willing to carry a lot of shit) than your sound guy might hate you a little less for that if your using it live. BTW the savage2 sounds amazing.
Half the SMG Viewers Comments: "Glenn I'm broke as sh*t and I'm trying to do XYZ. Can you give me some advice. Remember my budget is tight."
Glenn: "Here is a 3 thousand dollar guitar amp that sounds like it's ready to invade Poland."
Guy next to Glenn who is hiding his receding hairline with a beanie: "I say smug things when Glenn lets me on the show."
What are you doing, Glenn? Come on brother.
Y'know, I like Glenn's content, and I dig what he does... But he's definitely going in the direction of Fluff.
And I don't like Fluff.
You're in Smoky Glenn Dale? I thought Glenn had quit smoking? 😁
Sounds Filthy! Love it!

Volume control is all you need. Maybe a tone control.
