I've owned my Egnater Vengeance for what's coming up on a year now, and I've only had one issue with it, which was that the plug for the power cord on the back came out and broke one of the wires connected to it, blowing a fuse and rendering my amp unusable. I called up Egnater and they had me set up with a certified tech nearby within no time at all, and even offered to cover it under warranty, although I decided to pay for it because it was my carelessness that caused the issue, not Egnater. While I admit that the plastic for the plug should have been seated a little more sturdy than it was, if i had been more careful, it wouldn't have been an issue.
However, that's been the only issue I've had with my amp, and, until today, I wasn't aware that they were even having issues with QC until someone on another forum was having a problem and someone directed him here.
I personally love my Vengeance, and love its flexibility, mountains of useful features, thorough manual, and amazing tone.
My questions are:
What are some of the outstanding issues people have had?
What tubes would suit this amp best?
I've been using Tung Sol 12AX7's in V1 and V2, then JJ ECC83S's in the rest of the preamp and the PI. I've got JJ 6L6's in it for Power Tubes, but I've been thinking about switching to JJ KT77's. I also want to try a JAN Phillips 5751 in the PI. I was not a fan of the Shuguangs that the amp came with, but a lot of Manufacturers use those as stock tubes anymore. It came with Tung Sols in V1 and V2, and I kept those since the amp is pretty dark and those tend to be brighter tubes from what I understand. I loved the sound after switching to JJ's, but I'm open to suggestions if other people have had good results with different tubes.
