Egnater Rebel-30 112 1x12 30W Tube Combo Guitar Amp, Black/Biege Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this amp for quite a while now. I love the clean sound, which often seems a little dark, but I have not been too satisfied with the distortion.
The only problem I have with this amp is that when I took it out of the box, one of the silver buttons by the handle was loose and I had to take it off to prevent rattling when the amp was turned up.
What I've learned with this amp is that it's true what many people tell you about tube amps: they shine best at high volumes, and that is definitely true with the Rebel 30.
Yesterday I got the amp to a nice venue and cranked it. I got a beautiful distortion sound for playing "Optimistic" by Radiohead/and other alt rock stuff, as well as some very smooth jazzy tones.
I am sure I haven't fully tapped this amps' potential. The settings listed in the manual will give you some good ideas.
Playing my Gibson Les Paul Traditional through a MXR Carbon Copy delay into the Egnater is straight up luscious. Oh yes.
The FX loop is fantastic, especially if you have a digital effects unit. Also, just know that the reverb on this amp is digital, which sounds great, but I understand some people prefer the analogue reverb of a Fender or other amp.
If you're looking for something versatile and can play the amp loud, you will probably have hours of enjoyment with this amp. If you are looking for more of a practice amp a Pignose is actually pretty good, and I've been noticing that Jeff Beck (awesome guitarist) has been rocking a Fender Pro Junior (about $350.00)at shows even.
I hope this review is somewhat helpful.

The Egnater Rebel-30 112 Tube Combo Amp offers 30W of all-tube sonic power from 2-channels. The Rebel-30 amp features Egnater's unique TUBE MIX knob, giving you access to an incredible variety of tones, from American to British and all points in between. Channel 1 delivers rich cleans with controls for volume, treble and bass. Channel 2 dishes out powerful, touch-responsive overdrive with treble, middle and bass EQ, as well as a wide-range gain knob that takes you from growl to scream. Both channels feature Egnater's signature BRIGHT and TIGHT switches and each channel has its own WATTS knob so you can access both low-wattage crunch and serious clean headroom, or any combination you choose. The Egnater Rebel-30 tube amp's specially designed and easily accessible back panel holds more welcome surprises such as independent reverb controls for each channel and a tone-preserving series effects loop. A speaker-emulated line out lets you go directly to the board live or in the studio. Set the standby switch to Silent Record for great direct-recorded tones that spare both your ears and your neighbors'. The Egnater Rebel-30 amp's easy-access chassis makes swapping tubes quick and painless. Egnater includes a dual-function footswitch with the Rebel-30 112 30W Tube Combo Amp for channel selection and reverb on/off.
