ENGL® are back with a vengeance with their latest capture series to grace the Two notes Archives, the X-Series!

Enter the ENGL® E412VSB XS Rougarou, inspired by an ENGL® E412VSB cabinet retrofitted with Eminence®’s Texas Heat and Swamp Thang drivers mounted in an X pattern; with this capture, the primary mic’d driver is Eminence®’s Swamp Thang.

Developed for the player wading into hard rock and – even harder – metal territory, the aptly named Eminence®’s Swamp Thang is an undeniable monster. It’s super-powerful; it pushes a thick, full-range and surgically tuned frequency response for an uncompromising balls-to-the-wall tone; It packs the perfect blend of sublime articulation and lashings of meaty sustain; It straight-up laughs in the face of a drop-tuned 7-string onslaught. In short, this speaker is a triumph, residing magnitudes above its counterparts and a certified must-have for the modern high-gain enthusiast. Fit this in a primo ENGL® VSB 4×12” cabinet and you’re set for the epitome of power, exemplary dispersion and truly formidable bass response that guarantees to level-up the iconic Swamp Thang sonics to mainstage status!

For players seeking even more tonal versatility, pull back the mic and brace yourself for a well-rounded warm tone with lashings of top end bite and clarity synonymous with the companion Texas Heat driver. Better yet, open GENOME and load this in parallel with its sister ENGL® E412VSB XS Heat capture for the ultimate twin-driver mic’ing experience – in short, it’s your fast-track to unleashing the full potential of this capture in all its might!

It’s a stone hard fact: If ENGL® puts their name on it, it meets their exacting standards when it comes to the all-important tone department. The ENGL® E412VSB XS Rougarou has been expertly captured using an in-demand collection of mics and is available individually, or as part of, the ‘ENGL® X-Series’ DynIR cabinet collection.
