like when they might be ready, and which models will come out. (the 5W the 18W and or the 25W) :confused:
 
I think Bruce has learned some things about not announcing before they are truly ready. The website says the pedals are shipping in August. I'm assuming he's pretty confident of that.
 
I just want to know if its still happening looked like a great small gig amp .
but i saw some of the features on the new Renegade like the torque
So Bruce can you answer is the Detroit still on the table??
 
New Renegade? What new Renegade? There is a link to the HG series on the website but it doesn't take you anywhere. The stuff on the Renegade is still the same.
 
Renegade is becoming the TOL60. Sort of an updated Renegade without tube mix but with a new midrange control (called Torque) on each channel. Still going to be a while but being worked on now. Detroit is stalled but not dead. I just have so many projects going on that we must prioritize or nothing ever gets finished. Detroit is not far down the list but I would guess would not be production until end of this year/early next year.
 
was really hopeing these would be out sooner, any idea which models will come out first (5w 18w ect) ?
 
Hello all!
I was told that the new Rebel Series would come out first (prototypes are already done), then the TOL60 and then the Detroit Series. I think this is pretty reliable but things could always change. Plus I also thought that they were starting to focus on new modules soon but I'm not sure what "soon" means. Trying to decide if I'm going to hold out for the new TOL60 or just pick up a Renegade now. I've been waiting since NAMM when they said it would be released in May-June but now Bruce is saying its still not ready and this money is burning a hole in my pocket. Either way I'll get a great amp I'm sure.
 
Rebel 20 and rebel 30 MKII are being build now. Should arrive here in about 60 days.
TOL60 is still many months (5-7) away.
Detroit, as I said previously, hopefully late this year to early next year.
Silversmith, Goldsmith and Black Metal pedals should arrive around August.

I always hesitate to give specifics because there are so many things (and people) beyond my control that affect delivery. Hopefully, these estimates are fairly accurate. Please don't beat me up if this doesn't happen as "projected".
 
HaHa. No one is looking to do that Bruce. Thanks for the update. :thumbsup:
 
I hate to be 'that guy', but do you think anything will happen on the modular line this year?
 
TOL 60...Will that be built in the U.S.? I would really like to check that out since I am a big time renegade fan.

I'm also curious about the modular stuff?? Is it totally dead? Would be stoked to see that revived.
 
Our goal was to build the TOL60 in LA. Unfortunately it is not feasible yet. Will probably be made overseas but we are researching new transformer suppliers.

Modular is not dead. Working on the new line as we speak.

No delivery date promises at this time.
 
can you tell us where the Detroit amps will be made ? is the Detroit 5 still in the mix ?

Nice - are we going to see new amps and new modules? Rob at Jaded Faith is doing some really interesting things too with the amps - worth checking out!

New modular stuff rocks :rock:

Hello!

Please take your time and produce it in US! I think it would be great for your brand. There was a lot of quality control issues reported about the oversea production... We all know you are not to blame but building a great amp in the US could be a strong move to re-uniting Egnater fans and scepticle ones...
I personnaly wait for your Detroit amp. I'll wait because I love my MOD 50 and I know I won't be disappointed with your future products. :rock:
 
Bruce, I don't think anyone would mind paying the extra cash for a better transformer. I did a 5e3 build with Classsic Tone transformers and they sound stellar. Reasonably priced and made in America.
Bruce, you have a great product, I wouldn't have a problem paying more for it if it was built here with quality components.
 
Not what I wanted to see for the Detroit series...but nonetheless an update. Thanks Bruce. If ya ever feel the need to unload one of Detroit's you made. Let me know, Cash in hand.
