My MICA and TOL 100's have outlasted (in my stable) Riveras, Mesas, Marshalls, Victorias, Soldanos, others I cain't memember......and compared quite well (or better) to pals' Guytron, Matchless, Div/13, Dr Z, and even more I cain't......
Tho I don't have TOS mod, never really lusted for it.

I try to keep two around for they are my live amps. I wish the lead channels had a bit more bite(it's there, I just don't like running any control at the last part of its range). I started using these in the early 2000's and don't regret it at all. Great all around amp!

One of the best amps Ive ever owned. Sadly My friend blew mine up on accident and my tech doesnt want to deal with it. I dont blame him though it's a real pain.
Hoping I can send it to Bruce?

I could probably score very cheap Rocktron TOL100. How odes it compare to a pre-rocktron one?

speaking of egnaters in general and just because us TOL lovers are cool i'll mention this here...
here's a great performance from my friend bud on a rebel head. maybe one of the best i've heard yet on that amp--here's the skinny:
"Here's a board mix. The mixer plays keys so .....
ASAT Classic (nashvilled) to my pedalboard with only an Xotic RC Boost and a Boss DD-20 on. Egnater Rebel head using a '77 Princeton Reverb with an Eminence 'Lil Buddy as a cab. Nothing fancy or chopsy. I do think it's a nice sound and good vibe to the tune. Guitar starts about 1:20 in but I think the solo keys are nice too.
ps our 21 year old son is playing drums
[/QUOTE]"
i dragged bud to the egnater booth at NAMM 08 where he checked out eggies for the first time and fell in love with the rebel. he obviously got one, and so did another friend of mine and she loves it too and as i mix sound for her and have done so for many years now, her tone has never been better.

I was thinking about selling my TOL100.
But yesterday I had a gig and my sound was so good.....It's MY sound.
So I'll stick to the TOL100.
It's modified a bit and I need the TOS-mod installed.
I have two PRS Singlecuts (old model) and with a Damage Control Timeline (thanks Menatone) and some pedals
it's toneheaven.

i just spent the last hour dialing in my tol 100 with an echolution in the loop running parallel, the tone press in front, and a bb preamp in front....and a hotplate at -8 into a bogner 4x12
really nice man...the compressor in front of the clean channel is so nice, and with modulated delays in the loop....very addicting!
i was messing around with a ej east wes jam track and i could do that thing where you play a solo on the clean tone and it just bubbles out with tube tone but there's enough compression to track the quick hammered/pulled notes almost like high gain tones would allow.
the timeline delay is more quiet and much more flexible, and can get a much wider range of transparent digital clean to analog gritty delays, as well as a wicked semi distorted leslie sound, but the echolution has that memory man butter and depth i've always been a fan of, and the dynamic range feels a bit more delicate to my fingers.
fwiw there is a vintage delay patch in the axe-fx that does an amazing job of replicating the memory man tone AND touch!
channel 2 with some bb and comp is an interesting rhythm tone and the harder you drive the output the better and more dynamic it gets
3 is a real workhorse and you could actually get by with just this channel on a gig if it was your only channel because it cleans up well when set with lower gain, and when hit with the bb goes from there to fat solo notes and velvety chunky rhythm crunch
not quite as present as a typical marshall plexi tone, but more old world vintage fatness and more preamp gain available on demand
4 is ej/holdsworth lead land for me...i like it smooth and squishy, but you can make it much more edgy for more of a 80's metal sound if desired

Bruce,Steve or Mentoneman,
I have been using TOL 100's for the past 8 years or so and had my main amp go out this past week. Output transformer trace on main pcb smoked. Now on any setting just low distorted signal breakup. It didn't blow any fuses or tubes. Any info who could repair would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Much,
James
