Great video! The best on this amp! Hearing the amp without the od was uninspiring. KSR Eros! I congratulate Kyle and thank you.
Your channel is lethal to my bank account, man. Sounds killer
Lol mine too 🤣🤣🤣
@The other John Browne bro...since I started watching his channel a while ago now, I'm about to have at least one of the amps he demoed...and I already have a Peavey 6505+ and Ultra Plus 120...not that I REALLY need another one...thanks Jarrod -_- hahaha Seriously I hope your channel gets bigger man...the fact that you really take the time to demo amps gives a better idea to people who are curious about this or that amp and if (to them) it's worth buying them.
@@bengirard1984 Thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind words
That was by far the best demo of that amp on CZcams
Thank you so very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I still love that amplifier
This is a HUGE help! 😆🤘 Dude, thank you. 🙏
My pleasure! I'm so glad you found some good information here.
Great Video
Thank you!! It was an honor to review this amazing amp. I'm so glad I bought it. I can't wait to review and dial in more of your amps.
Thanks for your video. Terrific as always
My pleasure!!
Great heavy sound!
Thanks for commenting. Yes this amplifier sounds like it weighs a billion pounds.
Great demos! We get lead guitar tones, in a mix tones, not just the usual drop D chuggin’. Great playing!
Sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video
Just..... MONSTROUS 🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥
Thanks for commenting. I agree, this amplifier sounds massive
Thank you for the awesome video! I just got the savage mark ii and I tried channel 4 volume at max and everything Changed instantly as you demonstrated in your vid, my guitar tracks sound killer now!!
I used channel 4 the most cause I play only death metal on this amp.
Your vid helped me a lot cause this Is my very first tube amp ever and there’s so much you can do with it
and it is the perfect amp for the style of metal I play.
You are killer guitar player man!!!
Cheers from St Paul Minnesota!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thank you so much for commenting. I'm so glad you found this video helpful. Comments like this really make my day. Seriously, thank you so much for commenting here. I really appreciate it very much.
When I 1st got the amplifier, I thought it sounded kind of thin because I had the channel volume set halfway up. As soon as I cranked the channel volume all the way up, it filled up very nicely and sounded amazing.
Congratulations on the amplifier. It's freaking awesome
@@TONEWARSgearshow you’re welcome!
I have a question, do you still use an Overdrive on the lead channel of the savage?
It sounds amazing on it’s own but I tried a maxon 0D808 an definitely it gives it a nice extra bite
@@chico38ify Oh yeah, I love using an overdrive on all 3 of those gain channels. Overdrive pedals are The Secret weapon for every guitar player. It makes the amp more aggressive and a little bit tighter.
@@TONEWARSgearshow awesome! Agreed!
I’ve been using the maxon od808 for a long time with my Randalls.
Still love my Randalls but the savage it is musically a life changer for me for real!
🤘🏽😆🤘🏽
@@chico38ify Yeah the savages just freaking amazing. It's in a class all on its own.
Channel 4 is simply amazing. Channel two is a great rhythm channel as well. And every once in a while when I want to get weird, channel 3 is awesome as well. Try it out with a wah pedal. It's freaking creepy as hell.
You really are a bad ass guitarist
I am waiting on my new Powerball II, I can’t wait to get it.
The only issue I've found with the Channel Volumes as you've set them is that when you're running the effect loop it introduces microphonic feedback. I run one with a ES8 and a series of effects as well as a Decimator G in front and in the loop. I noticed the Phase 90 would add feedback and shockingly the Decimator added feedback. I will be playing around with these settings more later today - I have not tried turning off the ES-8 buffers yet. But you are 100% on with the amp coming to life with the channel volumes cranked. Way more rich and feels much better when playing.
Outside of that my only complaints are that there is only 2 EQs for the 4 channels, so compromises have to be made. For instance, I love the CH2 cranked as a heavy rhythm with a Dirty Tree Boost. However, the settings that make that sound great don't work at all with the clean channel. So I have to make Channel 3 a "pushed" clean channel and rely on that. The other complaint is that the Tone Balance knob is useless and should have just been omitted from the design.
I love this review. Thanks for it!
I'm curious if you'd recommend not get this amp if I already have a Mark V 90? Both high gain, multi channel amps. I am on the fence between the Archon and Savage 120.
Now, it's interesting I thought the Artist sounded meatier and fatter than the Savage and I thought that could be due to less channels and less circuitry. But who knows, it may have been hoe it was dialed in!
Tempted to sell my Bogner Shiva and grab a Savage.
Thanks,
Rich
How does this compare the KSR, JP2C and Mark IV? Please provide honesty and detail
I want one of these amps but cant decide on the 50w EL34 or 120w 6550 tubes. I play at home, So i dont care about the wattage. I wonder how different each of them sound?
I've compared them side-by-side and there's very little difference between them. That said, I would go for the more wattage because the price is about the same
@@TONEWARSgearshow Thanks Bro!
@@TONEWARSgearshow don't you find higher wattage amps have more muscle and sound bigger? Maybe it depends on brand?
@@Bognerman14 there’s definitely more head room and you are able to play louder without it getting compressed as much!
@@TheMetalLife666 Thanks, plus I find 6550s and KT88s have better mids and warmer highs than 6L6s which are not my favorite.
How does it compare to victory kraken in term of tone not the bell and whistle? Is that kraken right?
And btw what ceriatone is that??
Great sounding amp and great demo, struggling to find a dealer in the UK though. I have one question, is there a footswitch with it? If so any chance of a demo of what you can control through the footswitch, no one seems to cover footswitch operation. Thanks! 👍
There is not footswitch included, but it works with the Z9 or any other MIDI-Control
My little JBL Go-2 BT speaker started peaking BAD during your demo of Channel 4 lmao fucking hell this amp is monstrous.
Lol. Sorry about your speaker but that's hilarious 😆.
The Savage is a major beast!
@@TONEWARSgearshow Lmfao, no need for apologies, I'm still laughing about it as I'm typing this comment! I'd also like to add that your video combined with the near-death of my speaker has definitely convinced me to save up for one of these babes.
@@7th-Son-Of-A-7th-Son awesome! You're gonna really enjoy this amp. It's my favorite amp. So much tonal options and tons of rage.
Thanks a lot for this amazing demo of the amp! Please repeat the brand and model name of the overdrive you use.
My pleasure. Thanks for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
If memory serves, the overdrive I used in this video was the KSR Eros
Great playing!, what are using for the sustain note under your playing around 13:43 ,is that a synthetic or a backing track. That would be great to shred over.
Thank you very much. That's a pad I created with the freeze button on my Kemper.
I really enjoy playing over that pad. It's a lot of fun. In fact, I'm going to use it for the opener of my solo album I'm working on.
killer dial in bro! next fight night, engl savage mk 2 vs engl invader 2??
Thank you so much for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I will be more than happy to do that shoot out.
There's a guy that lives near me that has the invader. I'll have to get ahold of him soon
man that sounds great, I am curious when you are using the master "A" channel does the master "B" alter the volume? and when on master "B" ,, Master "A" doesn't change anything? killer video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. To your question, you can assign either Master A or Master B to one of the 4 channels.
@@TONEWARSgearshow cool, after assigning that master a does master b effect the volume ?
@@Shadowsreach1 no
@@TONEWARSgearshow cool , I Was curious because when I select Master A both Masters control the volume. When I use Master B , only master B controls the volume. Thanks very much!
@@Shadowsreach1 Wow that's interesting. I'll have to double check that
Have you ever tried played a marshall JVM 410? I’d be interested to hear what you think about that amp? @tonewars
Thank you for your question. No, I have yet to play one of those. Next week I will be playing Yngwie Malmsteen's signature amp on the show though.
TONE WARS great work, glad I found your channel! If you ever get a chance to Play a jvm i think they are incredibly underrated. Very versatile as well
@@davidtrapani8751 Thanks for the kind words. I will see what I can find at motor city guitar
@@TONEWARSgearshow I used to own this amp. It was a cool amp. I regret selling it
@@tommyricheymusic4445 Channel 4 on this amp is so awesome. I hope you can find one again
That amp sounds mean as hell.
Thanks for commenting. I agree, this thing breathes White Walker Dragon Fire. It's freaking amazing
What do u think of the ksr behind u?
What r ur settings on the Eros?
What’s the cab you’re running with the Engl mate?
Mesa 2x12
Do you prefer this to the Archon?
This is the one amp I've been waiting for Kemper profiles for.
Thanks for commenting. I'll be making those profiles very soon
@@TONEWARSgearshow THANK YOU! You are doing God's work. I do plan on buying the head, don't worry. It's more the fact that I HAVE to have this sound on one album I'm recording, and the COVID-19 logistics for purchasing and shipping the head--not really in anyone's favor at the moment. I already have my ENGL V30 cab on severe backorder from Sam Ash.
@@seanoakes3688 Is totally my pleasure. Here is my email jarrod_reign@yahoo.com
Feel free to contact me there and when I get the pack done,, maybe I can send you a free sample or two.
Plug-in alliance has an Engl Savage plugin, which does the job fairly well. Ola checked it out as well and he liked it quite a lot. Could be an option.
Just filter/EQ another amp. You're not going to get the real sound out of the Kemper anyway.
Anyone know how the Engl Artist Edition compares to Ch 4 on the Savage ?
The Artist Edition is compressed and fizzy in comparision
@@TONEWARSgearshow Thanks Jarrod !
why is the video at 50 frames :(
i own the amp and its an amazing piece of gear! great vid! rewatched it a couple o times
Thanks for commenting. I'll have to look into the frame rate and see what's going on with that
Is the Engl too bright???
Compare with engl invader 2 ?
There is somebody locally that has an invader. I'm trying to get ahold of him so we can do a shoot out
Great demo killer amp, I absolutely love Engl. Guess I have to pull my wallet again😪
The ENGL Savage Mark 2 is the one I am saving for at the moment. I already own an ENGL Fireball 60, which is also a beast for me as a rhythm guitarrist, but the Savage 120 is... an enraged beast! Love it :)
Molecular vs. Engl your thoughts?
Engl. So sorry for the late reply.
Thank you for the great video! I cannot imagine any better amp for metal. Maybe the one from Poland would be a good one to compare: Mr. Hector from Laboga.
I play on Mr.Hector and Im thinking about to combine Laboga head with Savage mk2. It would be really dangerous :)
If you have the channel volumes all the way up, I would imagine your master volume is very low
That is correct
@@TONEWARSgearshow Do you do the same with your Mark V? I have the Mark V 90 and even with the channels volumes low at around 9:00, I can barely open up the master. It's loud!
