These where my final two. Played them both a lot. I went with the DRRi, I just thought the clean was superior. But the rebel was definitely cool.

personally, two 12inch cabs is completely unnecessary. u could get a renegede 212 for around the same price or a renegade head w a tourmaster cab. OR you could use the rebel head with a tourmaster 212 cab. OR you could get a 212 rebel combo.

i think micro stacks are completely pointless and a waste of time and money. mostly for show imho.

You're entitled to you opinion. Here's why I did what I did. First, many times I don't need or want the size or weight of a 2x12 cabinet. Been there done that with 2x12 and 4x12 cabinets. Second, I can put one cabinet on one side of the stage and one on the other if the stage is large and I need to disperse my sound a little more or if another bandmate needs to hear what I'm doing better without getting the stage level too loud. You may think it's a waste of time and money, but for what I do it works out perfectly. Why bring a gun to a fistfight or vise versa? Plus I like the way the cabinet sounds and I'm tired of the eventual tube rattle of a combo.

i re-read what i wrote and it sounded harsh. i didnt mean to come off in a negative way, so i apologize if you took it as 'mean' lol. iv seen these micro stacks used by terrible punk bands and always in stack format, and they always brag afterward about their stack. ..its just left a bad taste in my mouth, i guess.

however, i LOVE the idea about the stereo cabs. i saw Crimson Soul in snyder, tx and chanute, ks and they had a mesa 412 cab on each side of the stage, both mic'd up, and facing inward toward the band.. less noise up front for the audience, and i guess your own amp is prolly the best monitor lol.

No worries! I know what you mean about the harsh sounds and micro stack abuse. I take my tone very seriously. The Rebel 20 is very capable of an extreme amount of subtle tones. I don't really like too much gain. I swapped out a stock 12AX7 for a NOS JAN Phillips 5751 preamp tube to knock back the gain a little and make it a little quieter. This is the first amp I've had in years that I'm actually excited about. Like I said, in most cases I only need one cabinet.

hey, since we're talking egnater... i was thinking about getting one about a year ago but decided not to spend the money, and you got me thinking again. i played one last summer but dont really remember the tone. can you get a good overdrive without getting extreme? what i mean is can you get a sweet rock and roll tone without getting high gain-ish?

Without a doubt. Especially if you balance the tube mix at around noon where the 6V6 end EL84 power tube get a power bump. If you want a little less aggression just lean a little more towards the 6V6 side. The Rebel 20 is a single channel amp but anything but a one trick pony. You can get just a hint of distortion if that's what you want. It's seriously a great amp. I've been playing over 40 years and played through a lot of amps. I have a lot to compare it to. It's pretty slick.

I still have some Fender gear, but the reisssue stuff I had before it was a reissue and the newer stuff in the HRD series is pretty hit and miss in the reliability department. My HRDlx was a miss. That's how I wound up with the Egnater. My Twin stays at home now and It might go next week. I decided to let a close friend buy it. It's just way too loud and heavy for the places I play now. 20 watts is plenty of power and I can always borrow it back if I need it. It's the best of both worlds.

Hey man, get the DRRI, it's a no brainer. It will be my next amp purchase. If your a straight forward player,its the best amp in the 1000$ range and it breaks up nicely,and loud enough for smaller gigs. If your a pedal guy, its the best pallet to use,to layer things on to. the egnaters aren't bad, just don't seem to have any personality to me

:?: Not according to every major musician's magazine on the market or myself included. The DRRI is a great amp, I owned an original DR way back in 67. The reverb is beautiful on the DR. Personality is something the Egnater amps don't lack. I don't need pedals to get what I want out of it at any volume. You can't judge any amp on a short test drive in a music store. I'm still finding new tone after owning it for 10 months. I can't get a bad sound out of it. But that said, the DRRI is a wonderful and reliable amp. Nowadays I'm searching for something besides the same old same old. The Rebel fills the gap and I'm comfortable not finding my distortion or cleans for that matter from a stomp box.

Thank you Supro, I believe your 10 posts regarding the Rebel will suffice :P

And thanks to everyone else for their input. You've all been more than helpful. Expect some pictures of my new amp in the near future :wink:

Go with the Fender, I know I would.


There's a lot bigger amp world out there than Fender and Marshall. Egnater is nothing new. Bruce Egnater's been building and designing amp for over 30 years.

You need to follow your ears and playing style and pick the best tool for the job.


Thanks 63supro :wink:

Today I Test drove an Egnater Tweaker 112 Stack and OMG.... :shock:

As loyal as I am to Fender, I agree that there is a big amp world out there to explore.

Who said that we just have to stick with one Manufacture..

As you may know from my other post...I own a Fender HRD 410, Fender Blues Junior (Tolex), Fender Frontman 212 and maybe soon enough a Super Reverb RI...

Back to the Egnater, I test drove this little amp todayand I was shocked as to the great versitality of tone it has to offer.

I am impressed with how well it voices responses from the BASS/MIDS/TREBLE across the fretboard of the Fender Strat that I was using.

I have been quoted $1200 AUD for the Tweaker Stack... for that coin you get a Vintage looking Amp with great tone versitality.

In my town, you don't see these amps around...it appears boutique and I like it.

I am pretty sure that Mr Egnater (Tweaker) will look good sitting amongst my Fender Amp Family...

Thanks Again 63supro for the Heads Up :D ...

I like the Tweaker too. It's has a really unique sound that's way different than the Rebel Series. I already have Fender covered to my satisfaction. When I sell the Twin I may get a used DRRI or maybe a SF Bandmaster head.

Bruce Egnater is really a cutting edge amp designer. I don't know anything about the economy down under. What's $1200 AUD in US currency? Seems like twice what they get here for them.
