Amp Room ENGL Savage Mark II Suite

Savagely handcrafted.

Amp Room ENGL Savage Mark II Suite brings you the real roar of the ferocious ENGL Savage Mark II. With faithful models of both the 120W and 60W versions of the Savage Mark II amp heads, five ENGL cabinets, four pedals, and studio effects, this officially licensed Amp Room suite gives you access to the defining sound of the modern classic high-gain amp: the ENGL Savage Mark II.

ENGL + Softube Partnership

The renowned emulation expertise of the Rock & Roll Scientists at Softube and the rich history of the genre-defining amp manufacturer ENGL Amplification: It's a combination that delivers the absolute best in amp modeling. Amp Room ENGL Savage Mark II Suite is meticulously hand-crafted and component- modeled for authenticity by Softube's expert engineers— without the use of Artificial Intelligence. Players like Ritchie Blackmore, Paul Stanley, Steve Morse, Marty Friedman, and many more love ENGL amps. When you try the ENGL Savage Mark II Suite, Softube know you'll be equally enamored.

Authenticity AI can’t match

Artificial Intelligence can conjure up nearly anything. Amp sims included. But AI amp sims are mainly just a snapshot of the amp at a particular setting. You can Web-Copy-Amp-Room-ENGL-Savage-Mark-II-Suite.pdf change the bass, but it doesn't necessarily correspond to the actual bass knob on the actual amp. Softube's amp sims are component modeled according to schematics. The physical amp is hand-measured in a lab, and the digital model is carefully adjusted to recreate the exact behavior of the hardware at any setting. That's why their amp sims don’t sound like every other amp sim on the market. They can’t. Because these amp sims are full of skill, knowledge, passion, and Rock & Roll Science. Just like the originals.

The Amps

For the ENGL Savage Mark II Suite, Softube chose to model not only the 120W version of this tube icon but its 60W sibling (featured in white, limited edition tolex), too. The power amp section of the 120W amp features ENGL 6550 power amp tubes, while the 60W version gives added tonal choice with its ENGL EL34 power amp tubes.

ENGL Savage Mark II

The remarkable dynamics and flexibility of the ENGL Savage Mark II make it an amp head's dream. The 3-band EQ for Channel 1 and Channel 2, retooled by celebrated ENGL amp designer Horst Langer, delivers tailored tones and comes equipped with Lean/Bold circuits to supply two distinct midrange characters. The Gain Lo/Hi circuit allows the Clean channel to transform into a Crunch mode in the Hi setting while the Lead channel gains added richness and weight. The Savage Mark II gives you roaring tones for modern guitar sounds with its four channels and a solid supply of sound-shaping abilities.

The Cabs

ENGL Savage Mark II Suite features five carefully captured ENGL cabinets. Ranging from 2x12 to an XXL 4x12, these cabs give the sonic variety necessary to create any Savage sound needed for your productions.

ENGL E412XXL BK 4x12

More is more! The ENGL XXL 4x12 cabinet delivers massive low end yet retains the tight mid characteristics for ENGL cabs. No matter how hard you push this cab, it can take it!
Speaker: Celestion Vintage 30

ENGL E412SGB Standard 4x12

The ENGL SBG 4x12 is equipped with V12 - 60 speakers, offering slightly scooped mids and tempered lows for an overall warm tone.
Speaker: Celestion Vintage 12-60

ENGL E212VHB Pro 2x12

Compact in size but big in sound. It is a mistake to see the 2x12 as inferior to a 4x12. It has qualities that are often preferred over a 4x12. This ENGL 2x12 delivers a formidable mid-punch second to none.
Speaker: Celestion Vintage 30

ENGL E412VGB Pro 4x12

The classic ENGL cabinet from before all V30-loaded cabs were renamed PRO. Featured on more great albums than you can shake a stick at, it has everything associated with a great metal/hard rock guitar sound.
Speaker: Celestion Vintage 30

ENGL E412RG Retro Tube 4x12

Meticulously designed to produce the hard rock guitar sound of the '60s and '70s. Focused smooth mids with well-rounded lows.
Speaker: Celestion G12H Anniversary

The Pedals

For this Amp Room suite, Softube created a brand-new, versatile boost pedal, a low-end compressor pedal to tame or enhance palm-muted chuggs, a stereo delay for those soaring leads, and a reverb pedal to add extra space when needed.

Supported CPU Families

Supported Host Software (DAW)  

Any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (Pro Tools 11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work. However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs—and our rigorous standards—Softube only officially test their plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, and Reaper. Softube plug-ins are not tested regularly in non-listed systems. They will likely work if the system requirements are met. However, the manufacturer cannot guarantee a solution for issues in unsupported systems. 
  
Softube strongly recommend using VST3, as some of their plug-ins have features that are not present in the older VST format. Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz, in both mono and stereo. The most recent maintenance release of your DAW application is recommended. AAX DSP is not currently in active development. TDM/VENUE/RTAS are no longer supported. See Legacy Installers.

Important Note: Make sure that you always use the latest iLok License Manager. It is not included in the Softube installer but can be downloaded from www.ilok.com​
