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!
