[@OsvaldoHurtado02]

My goodness. This amp sounds freakin amazing! I can hear every note you play with such clarity.

[@ChilledOrangeJuice]

This is the first amp I have heard in ages that made me want to play through real amps again.

[@Solidsaw]

same here. it has a really nice tone

[@incitatus634]

It's the fucking greatest amp ever

[@viniciusbertucci]

I would also recommend you to try out Wizard and Fortin amps.

[@cdawg-switchhitter2473]

If that’s the case then you need to play on a fortin amp. I feel like nothing really competes except this amp and a few others

[@Sean.Cordes]

Engl makes the best amps for my money. They're the most versatile, and can pretty much do any tone you want and still get heavy as fuck.

[@riheg]

Im glad you make long videos! Very enjoyable 🤗

[@teriakamoto]

I love this amp. 1st time viewer and definitely Subbed. Thank You man. Really dig your playing and tone theory. Top shelf.

[@brandonproctor3639]

I love your style of playing so much man, it's inspirational. I don't think there's an amp head that I'd want more right now after seeing this. I will have the Engl Savage MkII in the future! I will damnit! 😁😁

[@feidias1706]

Thanks for the video man, great sounds. I was impressed with the clean channel😎😎

Was wondering if you were ever gonna make a video again lol. I’ll have to watch this when I get home. Too long to watch at work 🤣

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

Jack Elliott sorry been slammed! Tours, riffhard etc

[@jackelliott3608]

Oh I’m sure. Living the dream!

[@SuffyANX]

You know, I normally don't like how you dial amps all that much because I'm more into sludgy old school death metal tones, but you made this thing sound ridiculously bitey and I kind of love it. That pushed clean at the end is great, too

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

Suffy ah thanks man, we definitely all have our niches, I’m really into that sound too but it doesn’t work for the path that I chose!

[@zellars3248]

Man....I had my mind set on a KSR until I watched this. Holy hell this thing sounds amazing!

[@danfirth2678]

I remember getting the Fellsilent album before release at the Pitz in MK. Such a special record.

[@n1w4]

Great showcase as usual. The amp is nuts and you sound so at home with it. I'd love a blind comparison between the real deal and the synergy - and also, when are we getting that AWOL playthough with Steele?

[@stingcarlsson7988]

Engl sounds bigger and beefier than synergy, there is a video to prove it. Synergy sounds like a toy in comparison.

[@mikeshreds]

I'm super stoked that Monuments is finally headlining a show in Seattle. I've been waiting to see a full-length set for years!

[@FastRedPonyCar]

Mike Morrison who’s the new singer? I haven’t been keeping up.

[@mikeshreds]

@@FastRedPonyCar Andy Cizek is the temporary replacement but a lot of people hope he'll stay long term, myself included.

[@Bjornsguitarspecials]

I love this amp

[@msmartin4]

Bruh, are you a member of #riffhard? Your downpicking is on point!!! lol That amp is sicc.

[@phineasandferbfan8882]

Boy, it sounds fkn amazing

[@demonbike666]

I think I like the sound of the purple nightmare better, what are your thoughts on the two? I’m going to buy one of the two but I can’t decide...

[@michaelinglis567]

Does the gate auto adjust depending on volume and the amount of gating is selected on the back? I ask this cause with a normal gate every time the volume changes the gate needs to be adjusted as you know. So it would be a pain changing the threshold on the back every time. But that is what pedals are for I guess, if you needed to switch settings on the fly. Anyways just curious cause it sounds great an seems really well designed. On my Marshall DSL100HR the reverb is very minimal but it's a great tone shaping tool so if you want more effected reverb you can just use a pedal. I brought that up cause I'm wondering if the noise gate on this amp is meant to be used in a similar way. Or I'm a moron and it's actually just a noise reduction not a gate on the engl in which case that makes more sense lol.

[@TheToecutter69]

How is this amp compared to the Driftwood? Both sound great but it could be your insanity playing 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@DoppiaVoce]

Hi man, nice video!!! Maybe it’s KZbin, but I’ve to ask, do this amp has a fluid and clear tone without fuzziness? Thank you!

[@danymalsound]

Sweet!

[@just_budha212]

8 minutes 56, could you please let me know what song your playing. Its amazing!!! Its either karnivool or tesseract is it?

[@drugjoza5000]

What tuning are you using in this video? When playing non muted notes on the E string they sound so much like steel cables with beautiful tone and definition, how do you do that?

[@peterrovaniemi138]

Would love if Mr. Browne could do that comparison with the synergy savage and this one. Pliiiiis.

[@godsreclamation2539]

I have an Engl but when I record i use vst but in practice the engl always gives me a brutal tone

[@omarsharif927]

The tone is amazing on that amp and that noise gate is dead one.

[@Bruceta]

How do you compare this Savage MK2 with the Invader 1 that I believe you had?

[@billybonce5457]

Cool!

[@teriakamoto]

I need a Mayones Regius 6 or 7. The Duvell sounds Glorious though. EMG's ?

[@jamesmelton5245]

Tone at 12:15 was golden

[@mazklassa9338]

What colour finish is your guitar? Is it custom coloured or available as standard ? Is the "shape" detail in the flat projection flame maple? Cheers 👍

[@mazklassa9338]

So is the thumbs up for my adding a comment or, like, what's the chances of an answer???? 🤔🙄😉

[@anthon9745]

definitely good...!

[@Middlestepofficial]

No amp bites as Engl does. It's like Pitbull grabbing and not letting go. Does the amp go through the cabinet under and through mics, or IRs?

[@JulianDaniels]

I would like to compare it with my Invader II. Sounds so great! Don't know if I should sell my amp to get this one.😂

[@zAvAvAz]

ENGL shall give me savage!

[@dreamwizard2000]

I having been wanting this before it was released. I could have got it and cut my left middle finger bad. I have since had my Armageddon repaired with reliability, but I don't think I can hold back much longer before I explode my credit on a New Savage Mark 2 LOL.

[@jasonharkinmusic4186]

I'd love to see you get your hands on a PRS Archon 100 or 50. Probably one of my favorite amps

[@xthexadvantagex]

Jason Harkin Music the archon is the easiest amp I’ve ever played. Just turn it on and it sounds good anywhere. You can’t make it sound bad

[@wheresallthezombies]

pretty awesome. it's crazy to me that synergy doesn't let you put whatever tubes in the power amp of the heads.

[@stingcarlsson7988]

Synergy sounds thinner in comparison.

[@wheresallthezombies]

Sting Carlsson I don’t even remember why I commented this. But also Engl’s rely on the poweramp section. So unless you get an engl rack poweramp it’s going to sound a bit different

[@garrettboomerbender]

God that tone was fucking perfect.

[@northstar7647]

I see you u r human after all after! Nice playing though! Need that Engl!!!!!

[@NOPPYify]

Note: how does Browne make his tone more articulate and aggressive? He lowers the gain. @23:43

[@kevinblaz6608]

Good pickups and new strings make it extra spanky too!

[@Lectwar6]

pickups, proper strings, leveraging his EQ properly, and a noise gate. the noise gate is crucial

[@camai75]

Damn that amp sounds killer.. If my wife doesnt kill me, Im looking to get the 60 watt version sometime (just a bedroom/hobby player, no need for 120)

[@darenwalker2517]

Might look into the ironball. It doesn't sound quite as good as the invader to me but it's a great metal amp with a built in power soak

[@bludredrobin4900]

Also a bedroom/hobby player, but I would say to spend the extra for the 120. It still sounds PERFECT at bedroom levels, but it ‘feels’ a bit bigger/fuller than the 60.

[@XChristianNoirX]

5:10 makes it sound like you've been listening to "The Kills - Doing It To Death" in your spare time.. Maybe just a coincidence but! Whatever the case, its in the spirit of "Jamie "Hotel" Hince".

[@SuperMikeroche]

That riff at 22:15 seconda tho😍😍😍🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@lekkerblankastudio]

[@c4li]

beast amp

[@Lee_j]

How do you compare the savage to Invader?

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

Lee J the invader to me was slightly less aggressive, more mids, and not quite as ‘dry’. A bit more saturated.

[@michaellazzell4296]

Is there anything better than this jw before I buy it😂

[@R.Nashoba]

I play Ubershcall and am waiting for this amp to reach Australia and have them both in my rig...(A/B them)...then my search for tone is over.

[@abheceshabemuskk3531]

Results?

[@Solidsaw]

if only i could use this at home....

[@joerusso7851]

Engl's have the most clarity and note definition than any other amp company.

[@pardeepbhachu5499]

You need to try a Rev Gen 120 MKII on C3

Is this too loud for home studio use, if the neighbours dont matter but ears do?

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

Rocketronica depends if you’re going to be recording in the same room. The volume here on the master was quite low but in the room it was really quite loud.

[@duck2587]

But is it good for a standard tuning shred player?

[@bludredrobin4900]

duck2587 Absolutely! Amongst the various tones in the amp, it has a beautiful liquid lead that loves modulation pedals for a neo classical/power metal shred tone. Had mine for 6 years and that’s part of what I use it for.

[@TheMetalLife666]

Would changing the 6550’s with EL34’s, change much with the sound?

[@duck2587]

StateofMass yes a little bit. 6550 will have more bottom and deepness to the bottom end. El34 will be a bit more dry. Only with this amp though. I’ve tried both.

[@TheMetalLife666]

duck2587 Which did you prefer?

[@duck2587]

StateofMass I honestly I like them both. They are still very close in sound. The differences in tubes don’t really matter that much with this amp because there is a plethora of options to dial the sound that you want. You can get them almost identical. If I had to pick, I would go with the 120 because I am a standard tuning player and I am able to crank my amps. Which I love to do.

[@TheMetalLife666]

duck2587 I wanted to get the 120 for more head room. Also, why not get double the watts for only $100 more haha? I play anywhere from standard to A standard. I do hang out more in the Drop B to B standard area. Thanks for your input man! This helps a lot!

[@johnnysguitarcorner5510]

Oh man I want this amp so bad. I own the powerball 2 already which is a fantastic amp as well. But Engl knocked it out of the park with this one. Even the cleans sounded really good also due to the great playing of course. Great demo but not so great for my wallet.😅
