Engl Savage 120 E610 - Clean preset

Verified · 85/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The original Savage 120 (E610) is ENGL's 1993 flagship: four channels on two preamp paths, Clean/Crunch 1 and Crunch 2/Lead, each path with its own bass, middle and treble, plus two masters, two presence controls and Depth Boost switches. A Rough/Smooth switch reshapes the lead path, two effects loops have their own mix controls, and just two 6550s make the full 120 watts for a hard, punchy attack.
