ENGL

ENGL builds in Germany and has been a fixture of European metal since the 1980s, with the Powerball and Savage amplifiers and a long association with Ritchie Blackmore. The amps are known for tight low end and a large amount of channel switching and MIDI control, which suited the era of complex live rigs and has aged well into the modelling age. ENGL turns up in our high-gain amp coverage and comparisons.
