The Savage 120 Amplifier captures the essence of ENGL’s renowned legacy in producing powerful tones tailored for hard rock and metal music. Celebrated by artists such as Gary Holt from Exodus and members of Evanescence, this amplifier is prized for its clear dynamics and rich sonic character. Its fast attack and remarkable responsiveness enable musicians to express subtle nuances, while its midrange allows the sound to cut through dense mixes without harshness, establishing it as a preferred choice for modern rock recordings.

Designed with four distinct channels—Clean, two Crunch channels, and a saturated Lead channel—the Savage 120 offers a broad palette of sounds ranging from pristine cleans to aggressive metal distortion. Each channel features dedicated gain and volume controls alongside two independent three-band EQs, allowing precise tonal shaping. Additional features such as mode selectors, sensitivity adjustments, and contour controls further enhance the amp’s sonic flexibility, making it a dynamic centerpiece for any contemporary rock setup.

Brainworx’s native plugin faithfully replicates the Savage 120 with component-level modeling, preserving every nuance of the original hardware. The plugin includes an advanced FX rack with tools like a noise gate, lo-fi delay, and power soak, enhancing control over the sound. A standout feature is the extensive library of over 100 meticulously captured recording chains, providing a variety of cabinet, microphone, and effect combinations. This combination of detailed modeling and expansive tonal options makes the Savage 120 Amplifier plugin a formidable tool for achieving professional rock and metal tones within a DAW.
