    Egnater tweaker 40 issue, vol cutting

    Volume started to cut out with SED wing C 6L6, Swapped them with GT, not so much, after bias. Volume is lower than usual, breaks up sooner in clean channel. Swapped the tubes again with the original tubes, which are still good. Same symptoms. The amp had been biased at 65 more less and zero...

    5881's in a tweaker 40 bad?

    I'm curious to hear what that sounds like, Also I have a pair of sed winged c 6l6s would like to experiment With other tubes. The amp is rated at 40 watts, and some tubes are rated for 20 or 30 watts, how would it take those kind of tubes ? I don't remember the amps plate V. Some have an idle...

    tweaker 40 vs tweaker 15 ?

    When reinserting the chassis, I push up on the wood above The 6l6, gives way just enough to slide in. Yours came with tungsols? Mine came ruby 12ax7s, currently I have sed winged c 6l6 V1 mullard 12ax7, v2 effects loop tungsol and v3 PI Stock ruby. The only pedal I use is the holy grail...

    tweaker 40 vs tweaker 15 ?

    Hey shim, Glad to see you bought the 40, FYI put some mullard 12AX7 and really fattens up the cleans. I've been experimenting with 6l6 tubes. It has rubys, I tried sed winged c 6l6, Lowered the bias to 55 because at 65 it felt To hot. But IMHO the tubes I liked better(funny) GT 6l6S the crunch...

    Please delete this old thread

    Let me start by saying, It sucks that the gc store sold a useless warranty, And that your going through this. IMHO if something puts food on the table, you want to take It to a local tech to fix so that the turnaround time is exponentially less. Sweetwater gave me 2 yrs free, for the...

    Egnater Tweaker Vs. Fender HRD Blonde top

    The tweaker 40, has alot of clean headroom. This is an actual 2 channel amp, a humbucker equipped guitar will get an awesome dirty to crunch . You'll spend some time tweaking the sound.

    Egnater Tweaker Vs. Fender HRD Blonde top

    Both are really good amps, the hr deluxe, I presume Is a really good amp. The cleans are nice reverb is good Too. The egnater is comparable too cleans sound very much Like the hrd at low volumes and the volume cranked and gain lowered pretty much all the way, you get a familiar DRRI tone, IMHO...

    Tweaker 40 bias test points?

    Wasn't sure of that, as a matter of fact, i was sent A pair of replacement 6l6 GT for my tweaker, I had one to tp andone to ground, On one I would get 24 the other would give me 1.35 mv Luckily I have a bias probe, still right now typing with one hand And other is palming my forehead.

    my egnater tweaker 40 crapped out :(

Now I have a diagram of tp's and trim pot, My friends tweaker 15, stopped working about 6 mos ago I hooked him up with some tung...

    Tweaker 40 bias test points?

    Yes you did, Thank you Bruce. I'm not the op but my question would have been the same. Do you test both points at the same time with the multimeter Or one at a time. For example tp1 is for v4 tp2 for v5?

    Tweaker 88 head with what 2X12?

    They sell an egnater 2x12 tweaker cab with 2 speakers designed for the egnater.

    are tweaker 40 & 88 cathode biased?

    The bias probes are the tube socket kind that have a male End that goes in the amp socket and the tube goes on the Female end. Let me ask you a question Ian, Can the 40 run on 6v6 instead of 6L6s?
