Has anyone taken a crack at retubing this monster? I'm especially interested in changing away from 6L6-type power tubes. Most Egnater amps let you just slap the tubes in and rebias. What not this one? The manual says it hurts 'reliabilty,' but reliability of what? The tubes? Or do you...

Hi, I have a weird problem that I am chasing. It's a fizzley farty noise that runs for a couple of second on top of a chord when it is struck very hard on the clean channel. It's probably my fault not the amps, but I am wondering though is if the Tweaker 40 had a known tube break-in period I...

Any purchasers of Agile guitars have advice? I have heard good things. Also have heard that you might have to be aggressive with returns. Mostly heard that the finishes aren't always what they should be. I'm primarily buying an Agile guitar for the finish. I'd like it to play reasonably...

I have a few general purpose amps I use for blues. Between bluesy pickups, spring verbs, and real tube breakup, I can get a good blues tone out of anything. But I'm starting to own up to the fact that blues is my main style. At this point, I think it's time to start thinking about a dedicated...

Anyone else use this pedal? I'm using it as a dirty booster (dirty pedal into dirty amp), so I would expect some feedback. It seems insane though. My strings can be completely quiet/muted, and feedback will just leap out of the amp. It seems be be mostly mitigated by turning the Metal Muff...

First off sorry. I did look through a lot of the old posts and didn't find what I was after. A lot of one and done threads and threads on similar topics like modular unit. I remember people saying a retube does the Egnater a world of good, but I wonder what direction they are going. I don't...

First off, sorry for the long post. I am looking for something in the lunchbox size range to serve as home use and as a backup for stage. I only play small gigs, and it's sort of understood that people still need to be able to talk over the music. Loud talking is usually acceptable. I live...

Somebody asked in the main forum about active bass DI to a mixer. I seriously didn't have anything better to do, so I tried it out. http://www.mediafire.com/?krhyq32ev0q40av This is a mediocre take (at best) of me playing DI. I used my Peavey Millenium AC 5. I'd like to have a meatier...

Is anybody buying anything? I can't decide myself. Getting 10-15% off at Musician's Friend is becoming underwhelming. Plus, I don't think I quite have enough dough to pump myself up to the 15% level. I've got more like $500. I don't think I can squeeze $700 out of my finances right now. I...

Well, it's just this. I am trying to set up my LP Studio with a perfect pair. I have gone through a few. I liked the stock pickups pretty well, the 490R and 498T. I preferred the neck. I did a lot of rolloff on the neck, and used the bridge for solos. Middle position was a brash, ballsy...

My gain knob has a weird break in output around the middle. It gives you smooth gain up to a point. Then, it cuts out (fairly gracefully, no pops or hisses) about midway. Then, if you continue turning it, you get the mega overdrive. Is this a "feature?" I'm guessing it is and the knob is...

Anyone else get a surprise out of this CD? I thought I'd pick this up because I don't have any A7 in my collection. They sounded good on youtube, so why not? This had all the same tracks as 'Nightmare,' but wasn't marked 'Nightmare.' The only version of Nightmare they had said 'Nightmare...

I'm not knowledgeable in different basses. I was hoping to pick up a good passive pickup bass, but I don't know who makes one. It seems like most of the better basses have a lot of active electronics now. Anyway preferences are (in order): passive pickups 5-string (with a possible...

This thing: How does the attack sound to you? I bought mine used off eBay, and I'm wondering if I got a lemon. The attacks on mine sound really bright and sharp. Then the compression kicks in in either slow, medium, or fast. None of them compress the attack, except sometimes fast. They...

I know this is unfair to leverage amp builders for my personal information, but I decided to be selfish and ask anyway. You may reprove me at will. I have been toying with an amp of mine (not an Egnater), and I started to wonder. If I want more gain, why can't I just decrease the the value of...

Why so many people have monterous rack rigs here. Why I see such hair-splitting fervor over things like power amps and DI's. I'm on "RIG-talk." That's what I'm just piecing together now. Flame away of course, duh. Sorry for all my 'duh' posts on rack units and the like. I obviously don't...

Does anyone out there deal in fact or strong opinion with regards to the different enumerations of EMG active pickups? I've got an ESP LTD EC-1000 (clever name, huh?). It has the 81/60 combo. I can really appreciate the brutal, tight crunch on these things. It's weird to me though because...

I got wild with the repup of my Hamer HSS guitar. I put a telecaster neck pickup in the neck, a SD twang banger in the middle, and a SD Phat Cat P90 in the bridge. It sounds phenominal, but it has phase issues revolving around the tele neck. Does anybody know what this is? The twang banger...

My Renegade 2x12 came in yesterday. That thing is a dream. I only played it for an hour or so, but I could not get a bad sound out of this thing. :) Really, I have never owned a premium amp before, and everything I've heard is true. It really is an immense part of your sound. I looked...

Does anybody know WHY this amp was discontinued? It sounded like a good amp, and the price was right. I really wonder if there is any chance of a re-release on this thing. It could possibly be Epiphone's best amp. Seems like it sold well enough while it was available. Can anyone suggest an...
