I bought this amp back in May of 09 and have been using it ever since. I am a gigging rhythm guitarist and play both fender fat strat and an epiphone custom LP. I have found this amp to scream tone, any way you want it. Well maybe not metal. but pretty much anything else. I've been using it to gig with and have had no problem getting out with it. I do however mike it for out door gigs. but club gigs no need at all. best all around amp I think I,ve ever used. I got the head and matching cab and when I heard how well it sounded I couldn't wait to get the second cab. Now my not so mini full stack just screams to be played. Don't hesitate to buy this, you will NOT go away unhappy.

Egnater Rebel - too thin

After the standard 'test' at the music store, I brought this home with one concern: thin bottom end. After two hours warming up and 90 minutes of playing, I could NOT overcome a weak bottom-end with this combo. I suspect that it was the Egnater cab, not the head. Maybe break-in would resolve the issue, but no amount of tweaking knobs could get this to play decently from the low E string until I was well up the neck. Other than that, a beautiful combo in every other way. The combo was returned and I bought a less-expensive Blackheart 15W head and cabinet that is no muss-no fuss straight ahead set-up that I enjoy as soon as I power it up.

Very Nice Amp

I bought one of these about a month ago. Also bought the matching cabinet. As you know, there are a plethora of low wattage amps that have been introduced recently. I'm sure all of them have some great features as well as limitations. My decision to buy the Egnater was based on the ability to switch power tube types and great tone. The tube switching feature does make a differance in the sound. Also, I find the tight and bright switches are very effective and creative tools. The combination of these give a lot of flexability. I wish it had reverb. However, I have a RV-7 reverb pedal as well as a BBE Sonic Maximizer connected to the FX loop. Although the FX loop does not have a volume control, this is no big deal for me. I adjust the volume on the pedals. The FX loop works and sounds very good in my opinion. All in all, the amp fits my purpose which is a low wattage amp for practice and recording while offering a lot of tonal and creative variety. This is not a "one trick pony". The quality of construction seems very good. The handle on the head seems a bit on the flimsy side. However, this is a small issue. If you are looking for an amp that is easy to carry around and offers many tonal choices, check it out. I love mine and have found it has encouraged me to play my guitar longer. Plus, it looks great!

So I walked into the music store and was loking for a good tube amp and finally got around to this guy...WOW! It puts everything else to shame in my book. Don't be fooled by the smallness it can get pretty loud...but my favorite part of this amp is the tube mix and the tight switch you can do so much with this lil guy...in my opinion you can put it into any style of music for real hardcore metal you need a lil more gain but not much...going to get it sometime this week.

Extreme versatility

This amp provides more versatility than any amp that I've ever played on. The ability to change percentage of usage of 6v6's or el84 tubes is amazing. The tone is awesome on any setting that I've tried. I've been playing with a PRS CE24 and a Gibson ES Artist. I've had great success with each. The option of 1 - 20 watts allows great overdriven tube sound at a low volume. However, when cranked up this baby can wail nice and loud. Quality seems very good despite being made in China. Only downside that I can perceive is the ability to get a true clean sound at high volumes. Yet, this is truly an exceptional amp at an incredible price. Don't pass it up.
