NEW REVIEW - Great Value
Just got this amp three days ago. Very nice sounding all-tube amp thats perfect for recording and gigging. Packed with features! Even at 1watt this thing is LOUD (Bedroom players beware!). Spend some time experimenting with the sounds...theres plenhty of great tones here. At medium to high volumes this thing will shred! At low volumes I'd like a little more distortion (nothing a good OD pedal wont cure). Effects loop works great.Nice reverb. Tube mix is very useful. Silent record simulated cab is my favorite feature...HUGE sound directly into your recorder! No bad manners, only MINOR fault I see is that there is a very slight hum/noise heard when the amp is on but not being played (welcome to the world of tube amps)! I may try a decimater in the effects loop just to see if that makes things dead quiet. Awesome value guys...amp seems to be made rock solid. Beautiful tolex. I wouldnt worry too much about relaibility...5-year warrenty aint bad!

NEW REVIEW - Stop chasing tone!!!!
I've been chasing tube tones the last 5 years and this is it.
What I've been looking for. I would have never known until someone recommended that I try the Rebel 30 and it blew me away. Great sparkly cleans, classic 60's break up, classic 80'a rock crunch and even touches into the metal on full gain. This amp is as light as most heads alone. The PCB board is solid construction with quality, oversized electrical components. The Peavey Classic and Valveking series are no match for this quality.
This amp makes your pedals shine and has the ability to silent record right into your mixer or preamp from the XLR out jack. And don't be fooled by the size, this thing can throw some huge volume. Go give one a try, there's nothing better in this price range.

This is perfection!!!!
I traded my marshall jcm2000 tsl 602 combo for an egnater rebel 30. All I can say is that it was well worth the trade.
I've been playing for 20 years, currently playing a modded hwy1 tele w/ dimarzio chopper t and area t pups. I play motown, funk, classic rock, blues, metal, and some jazz. This is the amp for me, this is the tone that I've been chasing for 12 years or so....
The Rebel 30 is so versatile - it gives me the best of three worlds - VOX, Fender, and Marshall tones by virtue of having EL 84 and 6v6 power tubes and 4 12ax7 pre amp tubes. However it's TONE blows the above amp makers out of the water. It is very musical and responsive. It is small and portable but very capable of getting LOUD!!! This beats having a two (or more) amp setup with a/b boxes. This thing is an engineering marvel!!!
I've gotten tones ranging from fat yet brilliant jazz/motown clean tones, accoustic-like compressed clean tones, Ritchie Kotzen's clean and OD tones (i.e. motherhead's family reunion), classic rock crunch (Free, Zepellin, Boston), high gain metal distortion (if the wattage is set low and gain set high on OD channel), Linconln Brewster's OD tone, Blues Saraceno's fat and tight lead tone, Hendrix's clean and fuzz tones (tube mix set more towards 6v6), and I can go on all day.... = )
Best of all, it's very responsive to my tele's volume pot. i can control the amount of gain in the od channel using my guitar's volume pot - especially when using the neck pickup.
This amp is well worth the money. After 12 years of searching, I have finally found the perfect amp - great tone, versatile, portable, and built like a tank.
Bruce Egnater - you are a good man. Thanks for this amp. I'm happy to be part of your family - your family rocks!!!

Great Amp, Great Tone - Terriffic!
The Egnater Rebel 30 1x12 combo is a feature packed little amp. I ordered mine from GC online. They were offer a super discount so I figured I'd take one for the team and boy I'm glad I did. The amp is 30 watts, 2 channels, effects loop, built-in reverb (independent adjustment for each channel) Vol, Treb, Bas, Tight & Brite switch on Channel 1 (I wish Channel 1 had a Mid), Treb, Vol, Bas, Mid, Grain, Tight & Brite on Channel 2, 1 watt to 30 watt knob for each channel, XLR out with Silent Mode Switch (All Amps should have this feature), foot switch, cover, made in China. The amp is terrific. The clean channel is crystal clear. I’ve played it with humbuckers, coil tap, single coil and even an acoustic. Very very nice. The dirty channel has more gain than most of us will need. This will easily play heavy crunch to 80’s metal without any problems. The effects loop is great. I run a Digitech RP1000 though the loop with a switch set to bypass the internal RP1000’s amp’s. It’s like having a third channel. Together with the RP1000’s this is a great package. The Amp is silent on the clean channel and just a slight buzz on the dirty. The reverb is easily trimable by can get overdone in a hurry. The tube mix feature is nice but it is very subtle. Also this am only puts out 30 watts if the tube mix knob is at 12 noon, otherwise it’s only 20 watts. Don’t get me wrong this amp is loud if you want it to be. The amp can be adjusted from 1 watt to 30 watts. In using this feature it really designates the headroom each channel has rather then directly effecting the volume. On channel 2 you can use 1 watt and get the tube to load a little sooner so “ bedroom metal” can be obtained. The best feature of the amp is the XLR out with the Silent play button. I run this into an Alesis USB mixer and it allows me to turning off the internal speaker and really crank the Amp to great a solid distorted tone on Channel 2 while maintaining an output level that keeps my neighbors from calling the cops. The XLR also works when the amp is in play mode, perfect for larger venues. Overall I love the tone and flexibility of this amp. I can’t wait to get an extension cabinet for it. Well done Bruce, well done!

Very Impressive Amp!
I had been looking for a small combo/club amp for gigging where space was tight and I couldn't bring my bigger amp rig. Went to the NY Amp Show in May to see what was new and of ALL the things at the show, the Egnater Rebel 30 1 x 12 was a standout! Great full tone. Not "boxy" as other similarly powered smaller amps are. Cleans are very good with good touch sensitivity. Tends to break up a bit when you dig in hard, but otherwise ample headroom. The overdrive and full on distortion are amazing for an amp this size. Rich harmonic character and great feel. I couldn't pull myself away from playing the amp. This amp has plenty of horse power! The independent reverb functions nicely, though digital. Sounded amazing with extension cabs. At one point I had 3 additional 1 x 12s hooked up for a great "mini" wall of sound. Amazing that Egnater found a way to engineer the chassis to fit everything inside a cabinet the same dimensions as the 1 x 12 ext. Highly recommended!
