Egnater Tweaker 15W Tube Guitar Amp Head Black, Beige

I only play at home I had left it in my musical instruments closet for some time. I had almost forgot what a great little amp head this. Very versatile amp sounds good at low volume as well as higher volumes. All one needs to really get the best use is to put a selection of pedals on this amp.

This little amp does it all. Very versatile, quick & easy to dial in a good sound. If you need 2 channels, you'll need to get the 40 watt version. It would be perfect if it had reverb, but a pedal in the effects loop does that job. Overall, a tremendous value for an all tibe amp with great tone.

Just for reference, I have been playing for over 40 years. I am primarily a Strat guy, but also have and love Les Pauls, a Tele and an SG. Primarily Blues, but also Rock, Hard Rock and a little metal. Onstage I A B an 80s JCM 800 2 x 12 Combo previously owned, as I am told by a credible person, Eric Johnson with a Fender HRD. HOF 2 for reverb, Butler Tube Driver, and more recently added a Tone City Golden Plexi (Awesome BTW). This amp is incredible. I am currently running it through a homebuilt 2 x 12 Hellatone V30 cabinet. The versatility is unbelievable. It is compact, simple to use, and sounds amazing. I am really digging these low watt tube amps. I have the Orange Micro Terror and also the Dark Micro Terror. I keep one in my gig box as a backup. No longer do I have to lug the Marshall or Fender down the stairs to go out and jam. I just grab this along with one of my homegrown 1 x 12 cabs, gig box, Strat and LP and I am good to go. 15 Watts is all you need. The cool thing is that you can totally dime it breaks up beautifully. I did not know too much about Egnaters, but after watching Chappers at Andertons rave about and his flipping out over the pricepoint, I was sold and bought it used from GC sight unseen and I was not disappointed. I have read reviews by people who have said that the various settings do not make that much of a difference. Respectfully speaking: A) They don't know what they are talking about B) Maybe not using a good quality guitar C) Maybe the cab they have needs a speaker upgrade All I can say is that it works for me and at the pricepoint, especially used, it is a total no brainer

I got this amp used, half because I was pleased by the amount of possible clean headroom, and half due to it's inexpensive price tag. I can say I've been pleasantly surprised by what I've heard. I've owned and played through all types and sizes of amps from 100w Marshall monsters, to lunchbox Orange heads, to jangly Fender blackface heads. This thing can seriously hold its own despite its size and price. Don't be fooled, you're not getting a Plexi or a Twin Reverb, but you are getting a handy little amp that handles pedals and effects well, has plenty of clean headroom, and offers several platforms to work with in the voicings of Fender, Vox, and Marshall amps,, which it emulates surprisingly well. I've ran all manner of pedals and effects, boutique, Boss, you name it, and I get a consistently clean, warm tone every time. My Helix sounds otherworldly through it as well, and it's quickly become my go-to amp, not only at home but live as well. It's not gonna get you through a set at Woodstock, but it'll tackle a church gig or a bar set with no issues. My only issue with the amp overall is the somewhat encumbered manner in which the "tweak" options are utilized. If you're thinking about changing something mid-song, forget about it. It's easy to tweak and modify before playing or after, but virtually no way to do so during. That being said, that's the only qualm I have with it. Otherwise, I'm thrilled.

I was looking for a versatile tube amp that could cover a wide range of tones, and this one does it - from chimey cleans to creamy blues to heavy metal. Tone junkies won't fing the USA setting to be exacly as good as a Fender, or the Brit setting exactly as good as a Marshall, but they are both great in a single amp at an excellent price. I'm not a fan of the AC setting; it just sounds a bit flat and lifeless to me, but then again I don't like Vox amps much either so it's just a matter of personal preference. Downsides are that (1) I'm not able to get a great moderate gain classic rock sound out of this and (2) there are so many settings that it can be overwhelming at first and tricky to dial in a great sound. But the manufacturer does provide a cheat sheet for some recommended settings.

You could tweak all day and find new tones...or plug and play. Playing through a 2 10 cab with celestial green backs. Great amp and decent headroom for a 15 watt head. Love it.
