ENGL Launches Savage 30 Valve Head & 200W Powercube
ENGL launches the Savage 30 30W valve head and Powercube 200 Class D power amp—portable high-gain tone for stage and studio.
ENGL Amplification is downsizing the footprint of two major rig setups without sacrificing stage-ready volume. The newly announced ENGL Savage 30 E611 compacts the company’s flagship high-gain sound into a portable 30W all-valve head, while the Powercube 200 delivers a pedalboard-friendly Class D power amp solution for players running modelers or preamp pedals.
ENGL Savage 30 E611: High-Gain Pedigree in a Compact Shell
The German-made Savage 30 E611 ($1,769.99/£1,125.00) distills the tight, articulate character of the legendary Savage series into a 30-watt chassis that weighs just 11 kg and measures 42 cm wide.
Driven by four ECC83 preamp valves and a pair of EL34 power valves, this head is engineered for rock and metal players who need touch-sensitive, harmonic-rich saturation in a portable format.
It features fully independent Clean and Lead channels with dedicated gain controls, sharing a three-band EQ, Master, and Presence dial. To tweak the amp’s response for different pickups or drop tunings, players can utilize the onboard Gain Lo/Hi, Contour, and Depth Boost switches.
- Integrated Noise Gate: Features a rear-panel threshold control to tame hiss on high-gain settings without choking sustain.
- Power Scaling: Includes Full, Mid, and Low Power modes, plus a Speaker Off setting for silent recording or direct studio integration.
- Pro Connectivity: Equipped with a tube-buffered serial effects loop, a 0 dB line output, and flexible 8-16 Ohm speaker outs. It natively supports ENGL's Z4 and Z9 foot controllers via dual jacks and an S.A.C. port.
ENGL Powercube 200: 200W Pedalboard Power
For guitarists shifting to digital rigs, the ENGL Powercube 200 ($349.99/£269.00) delivers up to 200 watts of clean, full-range Class D amplification in a chassis weighing just 1.05 kg.
Measuring a pedalboard-friendly 185 x 115 x 75 mm, it turns amp modelers, IR loaders, or standalone preamp pedals into a stage-ready rig that can drive physical cabinets (4 Ohm minimum load).
Voiced for maximum transparency, the Powercube lets your modeler's detailed sound shine through unaltered. If a venue sounds too dark or bright, players can engage the switchable three-band EQ and independent Presence control to compensate instantly without menu-diving or reprogramming digital presets.
- Direct-to-FOH: Features a balanced XLR DI output with a ground lift switch to eliminate hum in challenging live environments.
- Universal Power: A 100-240 V AC power supply means it can handle international touring without external voltage converters.
- Safe Operation: Dedicated clip indicators for both the input and power amp stages protect your speakers from unwanted distortion spikes.
Both the Savage 30 E611 and Powercube 200 are available now, bridging the gap between heavy-duty stage volume and modern rig portability for traditional valve enthusiasts and digital modeler players alike.
