Got an Eminence Reignmaker today and installed it in my Fender SS22. Have put about 2 hours on it with the amp at low volume with the speaker attenuation at max just to see if it sounds any good at it's worst, and yes I like it.
The bass response is medium, kinda tight, punchy, but slightly round.
It feels a little mid-scooped in a way but it also has this vocal, vowel-like, almost cocked wah thing a little, and there's a sort of chimey plucky slightly metallic sounding character to the clean channel, and the dirt channel seems to get hints of vox with the mid knob low and hints of Orange with the mids and bass knob all the way up.
It's more of shift away from traditional fender blues tones than I'm used to. I remember for instance putting a greenback at one time or texas heat at a different point in a DRRI and I think the reignmaker is going for the v30 kinda vibe. It sounds more like nashville country stinging fender type tones with a little kick on the cleans, and the drive channel just rocks harder now it's hard to describe I suppose.
Will try it more at higher volumes/less attenuation on wednesday I gotta work all day tomorrow.
Oh and as far as the level of attenuation I'd say max attenuation i can turn my amp up to 2.5 or almost 3 on the clean or 2 on the drive channel, and so far not wake someone sleeping in the next room. That might not sound like much but it's a considerable drop in volume and sounds lots better than when I've used rheostat attenuators.
