General

The combo version of the ENGL RockMaster 20 has a lot of admirers. It has double the power of its predecessor—40 watts, to be exact, meaning that you'll get more than enough volume for small to medium-sized gigs. Because the power can be adjusted in steps, it also makes a great amp for practising at home, even if you've got flatmates. Thanks to the emulated speaker out, the RockMaster is also an excellent studio companion.

Controls and sound

While the MetalMaster series is intended for the heavy stuff, the ENGL RockMasters were designed for classic rock aficionados. Get your sparkling cleans from the clean channel, or use it to conjur up a growling edge by cranking up the gain. The gain channel picks up where the clean channel leaves off, and goes from a growling edge to heavy distortion. Add mid-boost and a master volume knob to the mix, and you've got a wide range of rock sounds at your disposal.

Speaker and connectors

This combo is equipped with a 12-inch, 8-ohm Celestion Super 65 speaker that does both clean and overdrive sounds justice. Your can connect you favourite effects via the FX loops, and if your sound needs more body, you can always hook up an additional speaker cabinet. If you'd like to be able to easily turn the reverb on/off and switch between channels while you play, then have a look at the optional ENGL foot switch. Finally, despite the nice dose of power and the 12-inch speaker, this amp has been kept relatively compact, making it the perfect choice for anyone who wants a portable classic rock sound!

ENGL E312 RockMaster 40 40W tube guitar amp combo

Wrote the following about ENGL E312 RockMaster 40 40W tube guitar amp combo
Prima versterker met veel handige opties. Eigenlijk zou er standaard een footswitch bij moeten zitten (liever nog: twee stuks) want dan pas kun je 'live' echt uit de voeten. De MVB (master volume boost) is erg handig voor soleren. Ook de gainboost is heel goed: net even wat meer gain maar niet te veel. Zelfde geldt voor de midboost. Belangrijkste blijft natuurlijk altijd: hoe is de sound...?
Aangezien dit nogal aan smaak onderhevig is vind ik dat lastig aan te geven. Ik denk dat er vele gitaristen zullen smullen van de sound en veelzijdigheid van deze versterker. Naast een Marshall DSL40 combo vond ik de sound wat wolliger/'doffer'. Nu moet ik zeggen dat ik de versterkers alleen op slaapkamervolume kon uitproberen thuis....dat zegt dus ook lang niet alles. Gewoon uitproberen dus want dat is deze versterker zeker waard!

ENGL Doubles the Power of the Master Series

Tuesday 8 March 2016 By Julie Alexander

The first ENGL MetalMaster and RockMaster 20 amplifiers enjoyed great popularity, thought they didn't quite quench guitarists' thirst for even more power. Once the ENGL technician's caught wind of the requests, they were only too happy to comply, and have recently released their response in the form of the 40W MetalMaster and RockMaster. You can get either model as an amp head or a combo.
