My Egnater Renegade head and matching 212 arrive tommorow!


I ordered from Swetwater and the head and cab come tommorow. I only had a chance to try it a GC for abouy 15 minutes and I feel in love. NEarly Fender cleans, and a great thicky and sweet distortion. Cant wait until I finally get time to really mess with it tommorow!


Any else own an Egnater?

That should be nice!
What amp are you currently playing thru?

Give us a detailed review!

I think Egnater amps are one of the best values out there right now. They sound good, look good, and are priced better than expected.

I sold my MArshall Jcm 900 Dual Reverb and 1960a. I owned them for over a year and HATED HATED HATED it. Worst tone ever. I didn't know about the 900s bad reputation until after I bought it.


900, had the worst, thinnest, brittle ear piercing tone no matter what I did with it. The bad rep they have was well deserved. The 900s ear piercing thin tone combined the the 1960a's piercing GT-75 speakers created an unfixable awful sound.

Thanks for the comments guys. It should be arriving within 3-4 hours now. I will post sound clips with it!

Congrats! That's my favorite Egnater amp that I have played so far.
 
Re: My Egnater Renegade and cab arrive tommorow!!!

WOW is all I have to say. I only played it at GC for 15 minutes before buying it. I bought it based on rave reviews, great customer service from Bruce's company, and the little amount of time I played it at GC, was reason enough.


It arrived and I played it for a couple hours. This amp and cab MURDER my previous amp and cab. I am serious, this amp truly has Fender cleans, it is just amazing is all I can say. It also has a very singing distortion and actually has some balls unlike the 900 I had. The Celestion Elite 80 and Vintage 30 are an amazing combo over the ****ty GT-75 speakers. The amp is VERY versatile. It can go from Stevie Ray Vaughan all the way to Metallica/ MEgadeth without an overdrive. Truly an awesome amp for the price $850 I cannot recommend it enough. SweetWater has also been amazing.


I haven't had a chance to use my Jackson RR1T with it yet, I only got to use my Epiphone Zakk WYlde (which has ****ty EMG H4 passives). Cannot wait to test my RR1 with the JB/JAzz combo.


I'm off to play some more!

Oh I was talking about the amp. It retails for $999 but I got them to take 15% off, so it was $850.

The cab was $499 retail, 15% off, and it was $425

$1275 total. AN amazing price for what this amp+ combo combination can do. Plus Egnater gives a 3 year warranty on them so I have no worries for quite awhile:)

Ahhhh, I gotcha. Still, that's a great deal. I've watched a few videos of those amps, and I like what I hear and see. have you been using it much at 18 watts? That's probably where I'd always have the gain channel.
 
Re: My Egnater Renegade and cab arrive tommorow!!!

I love their feature of 6L6 and EL-34's. Is there a mix knob like the Rebel? I'm curious which mode sounds best for each channel, and if a 50/50 mix sounds best.

As I thought would happen before I tried it (because I know the whole volume/headroom thing), the 18w mode makes the volume slightly less, but the real difference is headroom.

I use 1 of the channels for cleans and the other for metal. I don't really have a use for it, as playing a very low volume surprisingly sounds great so I don't need to sacrifice wattage :)

I haven't tried to blend them yet, so far I have left it fully on the different tubes.

The difference between the tubes starts to get really noticeable when the power amp tubes are being used. I use channel 1 strictly for cleans/light overdrive, so I always have it on 6l6 for that channel.

For the other channel, I use for everything else. Whenever I play anything with a british sound, I turn it on EL34 (marshall), anything American I will put it on 6L6 (Mesa). Predictable but it really works and you can hear the difference. I will blend them together tommorow.
