Egnater tweaker - this tube look ok?

Look for a good set of NOS RCA Grey Plates for the PT section

They run really high plate voltage and will eat power tubes

Hi, you are saying the Egnater runs really hot and can eat the PT? The RCA would be a better fit for that temp?

How is this amp? Good for cleans? I'm looking for some nice warm tube clean sounds for home use. I would then throw my friedman be-od deluxe and amt p-drive out front for distortion...

I'll let you know once I get it working!

It's lovely for Fendery cleans with a nice open back cabinet. I had mine with a open 1x12 with a Eminence Wizard and they were excellent.
With my closed back 2x12, not so much. But it's still pretty good.

I took the 6V6 tubes out of mine, replaced them with 6CA7 by EHX and the headroom went up significantly. Bigger bass and less compression.

I have a Tweaker 40 Combo and im pretty sure the tubes are replaced to EHX tubes. Im not sure if the Tweaker 15 has an adjustable bias but after I got mine back from service i ended up having to bias it myself as it sounded real bland after i got it back. After the adjustment it sounded way better than before I had it retubed.

I really like the tones i get out of my Tweaker 40. All of the adjustment makes it very versatile. I typically keep the voicing in "Vintage" mode on all of my setting as it sounds more natural to me. As far as the switching options for the eq stack i found the "Brit" setting to be a nice warm clean tone, though i favor the "AC" setting as it more to my liking, I also have the gain on my clean channel all the way up as its on the edge of breakup and use dynamics in my playing to either be clean or slightly overdriven, and use a clean boost to get a nice crunch without needing to switch channels. If you're looking for just clean and using your pedals specifically for your drive sounds then running the gain from 12 to 2 o'clock seems to work well.

My preferred settings on my clean channel (from left to right on a tweaker 15)

Vintage (Voice)
AC (Tone Stack)
Treble 2 o'clock
Middle noon
Bass 10 o'clock
Clean
Gain cranked
Bright
Deep

Got the new tubes today. Man, TubeDepot is FAST!!!! Will report back a little later on results.

Re: Egnater tweaker - this tube look ok?

Sadly, the new tubes didn't fix the problem. Same exact issue. I'm not sure it is worth the cost of fixing either... GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Re: Egnater tweaker - this tube look ok?

Oh man sorry to hear. I agree, Probably not worth it to fix

It might be an issue with the power coming out of the wall outlet.

I gave it 30 minutes... and now it seems like it is better but I get the suspicion that it might be a power issue as you suggest. Like it waivers and gets spacey... and then works fine and then randomly gets wavey again. I'll keep fooling with it...

I've had that issue with several different amps lately. I suspect that it has something to do with an old refrigerator that is running off my panel at the moment.
Running my amps and effects power supplies off my power conditioner seems to have solved the problem.

Hmm, if there was a super dramatic difference, then it wasn't the tubes. Bad position to be in. I am sorry it doesn't sound right.

Did you bias the power tubes? You can’t just plug new ones in and go....they need to be biased every time power tubes are changed.
Preamp tubes otoh are plug and play.

Edit:
I just read that the tweaker 15 does not need biasing....sorry for the misinformation
