About

ENGL has been a hurricane force amp builder for rock and metal guitarists and producers for 4 decades. Beginning back in the ’80s, with a mean machine of an amp called the Straight—now a legend in hard rock and heavy metal circles—ENGL upped the ante in the ’90s with the SAVAGE line of amps, which raised the bar for performance, power, and tone for axe-wielders who like to punctuate their musical statements with a mighty roar. Now, in the 21st century's second decade, ENGL has become the standard by which metal amps are judged with a broad product line including the E765 RT and the E646 Victor Smolski signature amp. With eye-catching visuals, stellar tone and rock solid reliability, ENGL has become the choice of an extraordinary list of artists worldwide. Old world craftsmanship and highest quality components are part of what makes ENGL amps so special, and we are proud to have them as members of the Plugin Alliance.

    The ENGL Savage is a swiss army knife of amps! From pristine cleans to brutal chugs and everything in between. Top it off with 100 recording chains. There's no end to the tone possibilities!

    The ENGL Savage 120 was the very first amp I really loved the tone of. I was on tour in 2000 with Jag Panzer, back before I was into modelers and this is the amp that led me to ENGL as an endorsee. Now that Brainworx has come out with a VST version, you know I was all over it. First off, like all Brainworx amp sims, this version of the Savage 120 sounds as aggressive, brutal, and balanced as the original with the same classic look. This is now my favorite amp tone. With all of the other features you get with Brainworx sims like noise gate, cabinet loader with audition feature, filters, reverbs, and delays, you have one of the best sounding versatile amp sims available in a simple package.
