Frequently asked questions
Which amp is better for studio recording?
The Savage 60 Mark II is better suited for studio work due to its all-tube signal path with no semiconductors, which delivers natural compression and organic response that many engineers prefer for tracking. The Victor Smolski E646's 100 watts and extreme metal voicing are optimized for touring and live high-gain applications rather than studio subtlety.
Can either amp handle djent and modern metal tones?
The Victor Smolski E646 is specifically engineered for djent and extreme metal with tight punch and clear metal voicings. The Savage 60 Mark II can deliver metal tones through its Lead channels with articulate aggression, but it emphasizes organic response over the targeted high-gain focus of the E646.

The Savage 60 Mark II operates at 60 watts with six 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL34 power tubes, emphasizing natural dynamics. The Victor Smolski E646 delivers 100 watts with four 6L6GC power tubes and four ECC83 preamp tubes, providing greater headroom and Master A and B output control for different settings.
