Me too! I just tracked mine from Musician's Friend and Mr. UPS should be knocking on my door sometime tomorrow. 
If it comes in early in the day I will be "coming down with something" and calling it an early day at work. Oh yeah

Yeah, I've been feeling not so great tonight. I'm afraid that I might not make it to work tomorrow. I have a "doctor's appointment" about 10am.....coincidentally the same time that GC opens......

Rebel in da house!! Haven't fired it up, but already I am impressed. That little sucker is h-e-a-v-y. And the fit and finish istop notch. Egnater could have scrimped on those kind of details for such an inexpensive amp (like Orange did with the Tiny Terror), but they didn't! Top notch....

Well, it's official. UPS dropped off a special delivery and I'm now a proud member of the Egnater family. My new baby has a bit of a personality disorder though...she's got a soft, sweet side but can get real mean and nasty Gonna be a fun weekend putting it thru its paces and getting to know the controls better. This is a rockin' little amp...very impressive.

Spent a good bit of last night with the Rebel....man, this little f#@!er has some serious BALLS. Great mid-crunch tones with the tube mix about 1/2 way, gain around 10 and master pegged. Flip Tight in, put it on 100% EL84s, crank the gain and back off the master, and you're right into JCM800 face melt territory.
The Watts knob has an interesting effect. Cranking the Watts up does make things louder, but it also adds a lot of dynamics. Running down at 1W still sounds great, and is handy for those late night jams, but up at 20W is where the amp really starts to breathe.
The cleans are nice - very clean and mid-rangey - like a Marshall type clean (duh). Not quite Twin/Deluxe territory but very nice.
Going to run my AxeFx in front next and see how the stomp box models sound through the Rebel.
Should be a fun day!

it the bright switch technically "presence"?
I liked it turned on, especialyl when the pre amp treble was turend down a bit
Oh I really liked the EL84 side of the amp... which I strangly thought felt warmer than the 6v6 side witha ES 335 going through the amp.

Yea, blue, it feels liek a presence, pretty spanky up top when engaged.
I sort of agree with you about the EL 84 side feeling a little warmer. I think it may be that the attack is softer on the 6V6 but it is also brighter. ???

I was expecting the 6v6 to be the brighter side of this amp.

On mine it's the 6V6 side. A bit louder than the EL84 side. Hmmmmm???
It's noticably louder in the center positions fully blended. That's is the hot spot.

Congrats on the Rebel. I just got one from GC yesterday. It's one of the best amps I have ever played, especially for the $. Sounds as good if not better than my 2.5k + amps. My hat's off to Egnater for this instant classic.
