INTRODUCTION

The Screamer 50 Mark II delivers the sonic goods – tons of tone and palette of hip sounds from squeaky 
clean to hi-gain shred and everything in between. This all-tube beast is your first choice for many different 
sound styles! With a host of practical features and a clearly-arranged control panel, handling this amp is 
a piece of cake. The Screamer‘s opulent visuals are certainly arresting, but its unique, creamy tube tone 
and silky spring reverb truly set this amplifier apart. The Screamer comes complete with a bit of technical 
wizardry which you‘ll find useful where it counts most – out there in the real world of rehearsing and 
gigging. Among these features are a Lo/Hi Gain switch, which in effect doubles your choice of channels 
from two – Clean and Lead – to four – the afore-mentioned, plus Crunch and Heavy Lead. The built-in Noise 
Gate helps stifle the annoying hiss often generated when Gain Hi is engaged at very high gain levels. Other 
trademark ENGL features include a second master volume (Master A/B), and an adjustable, switchable FX 
loop (parallel/serial).

There are few more handy features to rave about: The Screamer amp sports our Serial Amp Control Port, 
or S.A.C. Port for short. Plug an ENGL Z9 into it and get hip to some very convenient remote control options. 
This footboard lets you activate the two channels directly in combination with Gain Lo/Hi and Master A/B 
switching simply by tapping its four footswitches. And that affords you instant access to four sound varia-
tions at two different volume levels each. Moreover you can access further prominent features like Master 
A/B, FX Loop off/on and Reverb off/on; the built-in Noise Gate is switchable via footswitch, too. In addition, 
the amp comes with three stereo jacks designed to accept dual footswitches like the ENGL Z4 or a MIDI 
switching system (e.g. ENGL Z11) for selecting the channels and other crucial Amp features.

Old world craftsmanship and highest quality components are part of what makes ENGL amps so special, 
and the Screamer 50 Mark II is no exception. On that note, please read and heed the guidelines on handling 
all-tube amps. The ENGL team is convinced that this amp will delight and inspire you.
