- A demonstration of the Savage Macht 12 amplifier. "Hideaway" was written by Freddie King and is performed here for educational purposes. Gibson Les Paul Traditional w/Burstbucker pickups Savage Macht 12 amplifier on "Studio" setting, volume at 3 o'clock.
I wanted a Marshall BB but not after this. Great playing and for a bedroom and small band guy this will meet the needs in spades. Great video!
Thank you so much! Funny story: I sold the Macht 12 to buy a BB. The Savage sits somewhere between a tweed Deluxe and a BB to my ears, and probably leans a bit toward the tweed. Fantastic amp and I'd never refuse one, I just wanted the BB because it is exactly what you hear on the old Mayall records w/Eric and Peter Green.
@@aaronnickell3717 love that amp too! Thank you for the information and background! That is a spectacular tone!
Hi Aaron, enjoyed the demo, the amp sounds great. I'm eyeing one that's for sale...
Hey there! Thank you so much. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one at any price. Superbly built; massive sound for 12 watts; and the studio/stage switch lets you get tube saturation at lower volumes (I think it lowers it to about 2 or 3 watts). Very dynamic amplifier, and one of my favorites EVER. When I bought it, I thought it leaned toward a Bluesbreaker/Tweed Deluxe hybrid of sorts. Supposedly they're Savage's take on a vintage Dearmond. The longer I own it, the more I definitely hear Tweed. If you get one with a Mojotone or Celestion, it'll sound a bit more like a Bluesbreaker. Throw in an American-voiced speaker and it definitely develops some Deluxe characteristics. So much fun!
Hella good playing, gotta learn some more stuff first... Trying to play some eddie
Right on! You can do it, Jesse! He does a lot of stuff that isn't intuitive at first and is always a bit ahead or behind the beat. Remember: slow and accurate. Then speed up. Playing Ed is a pain, but still my favorite guitarist ever.
Hey Aaron, sorry to bother you but what speaker have you got in your macht 12? I have one as well! Nice playing by the way!
Best
Ethan
Hi Ethan! Oh no bother at all! Thanks for the kind compliment. I have the Mojotone BV-30V in the Savage. I've been incredibly happy with it. This is the amp to end all amps, for me. What do you have in yours?
Aaron Nickell man you’re very welcome ! That’s awesome that it’s stock . And man it’s been my main amp for about 5 years now and i own a lot of great sounding amps still and have had rare and expensive vintage like a 1960 tweed bassman , but this has been my go to amp and they are so affordable too ! When I bought this one it had an English G12H30 70th anniversary and I didn’t care much for it . I the. Swapped that out for a Weber alnico blue dog 30 watt . I kept that for a long time and liked it . It sometimes seemed a bit too compressed or dark with my r7 with humbuckers so I’m thinking of either getting a bv30 like stock or trying the ceramic version of the Weber blue . You don’t really see much talk of this amp in forums and not many videos so I was glad when I saw your video! Thanks again for taking the time to get back to me.
Oh no problem; I'll chat shop about amps until I'm blue in the face. HAHA I'm a big Mike McCready fan, so naturally Savage had been on my radar for a long time. I'd been trying to nail Clapton's Beano tone for years with a variety of pedals, settings, etc. When I heard the Macht 12 was like a mix between a 5e3 and a Bluesbreaker, I bit. And I'm SO glad I did. I'll never be able to use a Bluesbreaker at volume, so this gets me WAY more than in the ballpark. It's a dark amp to me. Very dark. I'm curious about what a Creamback or a Jensen would sound like, but I'll be damned if I'm not perfectly content the way it is. The alnico compression may be a bit much with such a low-headroom amp. The BV30s are a steal, and I assume there's a reason that the Savage guys love it. Now if you can convince me to stay away from a Blitz 50... ;-) @@ethanlamb7324
