Reviving the Eg

I made this for a YouTube subscriber. It's nothing fancy, watching it I realized I forgot to say that I'm running 6L6 tubes in mine.

Far out! Whatever you used in the first video sounds incredible. I love how well it holds together even under very high gain! No fizz or fuzz. Is this plugged straight in? No boost pedal or anything? The last amp I heard that was that focused and articulate under such extreme gain was the Fryette (VHT) Pitbull Ultra Lead. I’m very impressed. If it’s the Egnater, can you even still get them, even if they’re used?

I absolutely love the G12K. It’s my absolute favourite speaker. I wonder how it would sound blended with the V30. Cutting a track for each speaker on a song would give you the ultimate control for mixing. Even out of context, it’s killer and can absolutely imagine it totally ripping in a heavy song. I got a similar quality happening with my Marshall JVM but it took a bit of tinkering with some resistor values to remove the compression and get that kind of articulation from it. The G12K really helps, so does my custom overdrive in front though it’s not a necessity.

I’m also a big fan of the EMTYs myself. You just go straight in to a good hi-gain amp with good speakers, both the pick and note definition is fantastic. They had everything I wanted and nothing that I didn’t like from the comparatively brittle and harsh 707s that they replaced.

Sure man! As long as I'm back by Oct 30 for a deer hunt!

And thank you, that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

:bowdown: ALL HAIL THE DEER HUNT! :bowdown:

Yes the first clip is the Egnater. All of them are except post #17.
it does have a boost in front, using the EHX East River Drive.
This amp is not hissy or fizzy. It's pretty decent. You can find them once in awhile on the used market.
I made a video awhile back with a few different speakers to listen to their voices. I also love the K100s. They kick!

I have all the centers of speakers marked on the grille, so it's pretty close to scientific ha ha ha

That makes sense, it would need one considering you characterise it as not having a tremendous amount of gain on tap. I love it when despite conventional wisdom suggesting you have to turn the gain down for more clarity, that there are sounds like this with such a ball-tearing amount of gain that’s so heavy and raw without turning to mush.

The speaker probably has a lot to do with it and the overdrive probably tightens it up some. I’ve always heard great things about Egnater every time it’s been mentioned. That’s a really killer tone you’ve got there. Kudos for using real cabinets and mics (not suggesting there’s anything wrong with using impulses, but nothing beats the classic way and that deserves respect!)

Thank you sir, I appreciate that.
