Egnater Renegade 65W Tube Guitar Amp Head, Black/Biege Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using this head for over a year now. No problems at all and I think it sounds great. It's rock solid and has been my go to amp as I own 3 other heads. Clean channel is nice with a boutique type of sound. You can get a little crunch out of the clean channel but not enough for me to use it. It's 65 watts but switchable to 18 watts on each channel. The footswitch is also rock solid and has a switch to activate the effects loop and one for a solo boost which is adjustable on the head. You can also assign reverb, boost, and the effects loop to channel 1, channel 2 or both which is nice. I have only two complaints. The first is that the gain channel is a little compressed and gets pretty hard ...but just shy of a metal tone. I play in a cover band so I only need to have a metal tone for a few songs but it gets me close enough. My only other complaint is that the tone control to switch and mix tubes doesn't seem to make much difference at the levels i'm playing ...at least to my ears. That is my opinion and I highly recommend this head. I also have the tourmaster 2x12 cabinet but I removed the speakers and replaced them with Vintage 30's.

The incredibly versatile Renegade is a 2-channel powerhouse that gives you the tools to forge your sound and the power to move some serious air in any size venue. Channel 1 produces lush, 3-dimensional clean tones with just a bit of grunt when you dig in. Channel 2 starts with a sweet, bluesy overdrive, but pushing the gain opens the floodgates, unleashing enough thick, harmonically rich distortion to satisfy the most demanding player. Both channels offer an independent 3-band EQ, Egnater's BRIGHT and TIGHT switches and a Wattage Selector switch that lets you choose between an intimate 10W or a wall-shaking 65W. Master Presence and Density knobs let you sculpt the high and low-end response. At the heart of this tone machine, you'll find five 12AX7 preamp tubes and a power section fueled by two 6L6s and two EL34s. The Renegade Head features the ground-breaking TUBE MIX function on each channel, allowing you to blend the deep Californian character of the 6L6s with the aggressive British midrange punch of the EL34s. There are independent reverb controls for each channel, dual footswitchable master volumes and a speaker-emulated line out. The included 4-button footswitch controls much more than just channel switching. It also engages the on-board reverb, effects loop and secondary master volume with channel-assigning switches for all three. Run them on both channels or just the one you choose. Heavy Duty Cover Included.

Egnater Tweaker 112 15W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp, Black/Beige Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I went to the store fully expecting to walk away with a Fender Blues Junior. After playing both the Fender and this amp multiple times, and leaving the store for an hour to clear my head, I ended up going home with this.
I don't think I have seen such a variety of tone options on an amp this size and/or price that didn't involve some kind of digital modeling. The switches are not just for show, they actually do change the sound. The "Tight" and "Bright" switches do exactly what it says on the label. I am most impressed, however, with the "Brit/AC/USA" 3-way switch. This is like 3 amps in one, and they all sound good.
This thing is built solid. In fact if I had anything to complain about, it is that this is more physical size and weight than I expect in a 15 watt amp. For a "practice" amp, I think I'd get pretty tired of lugging this big baby back and forth from band practice on a daily basis. If you're mental picture of a 15 watt practice amp is a little solid state amp with an 8-inch speaker, you are in for a shock. But I'm guessing they designed it like this for a reason, and it probably wouldn't sound the same with a smaller speaker and more lightweight construction.
It isn't really a 2-channel amp, but it does have a "Clean/Hot" switch. "Clean" ranges from actually clean to pretty damn crunchy, and "Hot" picks up from there and goes to Eleven. If you need more gain than the amp is capable of, the distortion or overdrive pedal of your choosing will probably sound good through it. Fuzz pedals, too.
Like all tube amps, it sounds best with the Master Volume as high as you can stand. (I always think that Master Volume should be labeled "Awesome") At 15 watts it is a bit louder than the 5 watt wonders like the Valve Junior and the Class Five (neither of which even HAVE a Master Volume to turn down), although not "3 times" as loud since Watts Do Not Work That Way. If you live with other people in the same house they will hear it and come tell you to turn it down, in which case you will grumble at them but still be glad you have that Master Volume knob.

The 15W Egnater Tweaker 112 ultra-compact all-tube combo amp offers versatility with unique and sophisticated tone. The Egnater 112 combo serves up seemingly endless tonal variations via its onboard Tweaker selector switches. Powered by a pair of 6V6 power tubes, the Egnater Tweaker is a perfect tube amp for gigging. The Egnater combo's gain, EQ, and master sections each have a Tweaker switch providing a wide range of tones from the ultra smooth and satisfying to fully over-saturated lead tones.Hidden inside the Egnater Tweaker tube amp is a vast array of tones not usually found in such a compact combo amp. Each of the 5 front-mounted toggle switches changes the amp's character. The Tight and Bright switches shape the low and high end from soft and smooth to punchy and aggressive. The Gain switch goes from sparkly clean to an all-out high-gain assault. The Egnater guitar amp's EQ switch selects tones from pristine American to classic Brit and even the illusive VX AC sound. Use the Classic/Modern voicing switch to choose either soft and smooth or hard and edgy power-tube tone. Even the most radical tone tweaker is sure to find the sounds they seek in the Egnater Tweaker 112 combo amp.
