Egnater Rebel 20 Head and Rebel 112X Cabinet

[@Spoon26]

"Hey this is Paul from Guitar World and what the fuck is a single coil?"

[@cfisha32]

At least it's not a charvel this time

[@bareknuckles2u]

This guy does such a good job with his demos! he's smart, clear, and plays just right for these demos...great job, very helpful

[@gerby90]

played this at the local amp dealer. the sound is sooo powerful, it was by far the best head in this size and price-range. the distortion blew me away. the tube mix makes it capable to get both a fender clean and a marshall distortion. this amp is the definition of bang for your buck..

[@georgelrg]

I have this amp since 9 months ago and the sound is amazing. Nice demo

[@DJQuips]

I LOVE the sound of this amp from clean to dirty..I just wish there was a means to switch between the two like channels..

[@IAmRileyMan326]

I really like how you can turn down the wattage. Thats a cool feature.

[@Driftuner]

many amps can do that...yes its a very good feature

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

it sounds great - and the attenuator and effects loop makes this head a TOTAL WIN. they're currently going for $549 in the US.

[@dmarkj22]

I picked up one of these on Craig's List for $540. This amp is badass for sure. Very powerful and packs a ton of tone for such a small head.

[@MJSalls]

I just bought one of these and I F'IN love it! I'm running it through an Egnater 4x12. My biggest complaint is that its a single channel...I'm almost thinking of getting a swtichbox and another head.

[@JerryToneStore]

@JIRIC8581 haha thanks. I actually had the same question the first time I watched the video, but then I remembered what the song was. Happy listening!

[@zappafile]

@Gamagachee I think you can turn it on and off as the poster of the clip.

[@jammers5]

The Tube Mix comes through as very subtle when dialing in EL84s and 6V6's on these videos, but when you demo the amp live you will hear a big difference. Same thing with the bright & tight switches. The Wattage dial does almost nothing. I have the Rebel 30.

[@sportsportsport]

Paul we love you!!!.. nice PRS and good demo.

[@rafauleciaelcarpio]

you have to be right there playing that amp to hear the differences of the 6L6s and the EL34s. to feel that amp cranking your heart an soul and bumping your feet

[@willeng84]

@HearingLossProvider Yep, since they came out with the Tweaker line and use the Celestion G12H30 in it everyone just gets the tweaker cab instead since they are both 1X12's with the same options.

[@shawnjoe72]

How's does this Rebel compare to the Tweaker? Any pros cons? I like the tweaker sound but the wattage dial knob and the tube mix knob attract me to this rebel model. Any one have any more infor on the comparison to sway my judgement on which one to get?

[@tritonobionico]

I really like the tone of this amp, is organic, not old, not too modern. Im looking for a bedroom tube amp, this definitively is an option

[@mizu206]

what jiric said. 6l6's are for a more metal sound, while el-84's are for smoother, crisp tones. But if you want a heavy, crunchy-scooped tone, i would go with kt-88's. Amazing tone for metal.

[@gahzeyboe]

The rebel was okay, but I love the tweaker. I played on of these, and before I did, I was really excited about it because I thought it would make a super versatile amp, but the tube mix didn't really do much for me, and apparently Bruce himself admitted the wattage knob doesn't really change the wattage. The tweaker though is amazing, it can do so many great sounds and is even more than what I had hoped the rebel would be.

[@SpaceAceTX]

Guitar Player magazine gave it their "Editors pick" they raved about it in their review. These are available in larger size/watt. Noticed Guitar center keeps these in stock along with about 5 different Egnater models.

[@cjpmugsr999]

While my Carvin X amp is being retubed, I've borrowed an Orange Dual Terror. Doesn't seem to have as much gain as this does. I am really considering an Egnator since I like Ty Tabors tone so much and the Rebel 20 is a nice reasonably priced little tube head from all I've seen of it.

[@pastorjim]

sounds good but a little muddy. are they trying to mask some harsh highs

[@bringyourchainsaw]

like the clean tones more, cool amp for sure

[@JerryToneStore]

@JIRIC8581 The original version of "touch too much" found on Volts by AC/DC. it's kinda hard to find....but if you do some searching you can find it.

[@LordOfThisWorld74]

I wish PRS made a single cut in the LP configuration as a SE model. I would totally buy it. 2 vol and 2 tones and the toggle on the upper area above the pickguard

[@j12elliott]

Smartest comment I have seen yet on here. It is all subjective. If you like your sound use it regardless of what anyone else says. Its all in the mind and fingers anyway. A good guitar player will make any amp sound amazing.

[@epitaph664]

@chedwerks i own it, and i cranked it in my basement and i couldn't hear correctly for about 2 hours. I am a drummer as well and when cranked i dont know if you would have been able to hear the drums

[@zappafile]

@dmonks40 Depends on what you are trying to acheive. 150 watt heads to me are a myth if you are doing a full mic up. If you want to cover a large audience without a mic on the cab then this may not be adequate. Its a pretty grunty amp though and has plenty of volume for most situations. The 30 watt might be a better bet to give a little more headroom, also it is a 2 ch making it more versatile. I have personally mixed an artist with a home made 1 watt amp and had no issues. Hope that helps.

[@AngelMontesdeOca]

Beautiful!

[@devilbass89devil]

Great job Paul!!!I'll be very happy if i see randall rm20 in some of next reviews;-)

[@MadJackChurchill1312]

@JgHaverty I've heard great clips from this amp for my style of music. Likewise, the Terror is usually fizzy and not as ballsy or full as a real Orange.

[@zappafile]

@DJQuips Rebel 30 does this. Its a 30 watt to. Looks nice.

[@stratmanuk]

I have this amp with the single 1x12 cab', I also have a Carlsbro EVO 50 with a 4x12 cab', the one I always find myself plugging into is the Egnater even though it has no reverb and less gain, it just sounds fantastic whatever I'm playing! I am considering getting another 1x12 like the rig above, is this better than getting a 2x12 Tourmaster or is it just the same thing?

[@MB-yw3pv]

YOU CAN GET A EGNATOR 4X12 FOR GOOD MONEY USED, JUST TRY EM OUT FIRST, MY BUDDY JUST GOT A EGNATOR TWEEKER 40 FOR 300$ AND A EGNATOR 4X12 FOR $150, I THINK THE 2X12 CANS ARE BETTER CAUSE THEY ARE BOTH IN THE SAME CAB, I HAD TWO 1X12 BLACKSTAR CABS AND A 2X12 SOUNDS BIGGER

[@modestvermin995]

How much gain does this amp actually have? If I use a pedal out front is it enough for some serious metal or does it come up short?

[@methodinsane]

Awesome. Anyone have a price?

[@timwhite5562]

Christ, the cleanish 6v6 is ridiculously compressed. I had one of these for years and i don't remember ever getting that sound from it. I've been using a 20W Plexi clone for the last few years, but was considering getting one again when the mark came out. I read that they increased the gain and added a switch to give it even more gain with a different gain structure. I'd probably use the Plexi much more, but liked the idea of having another British voiced amp for a more modern, higher gain. I figured that I liked the originals overdrive but just wished it had more. Being old hat with this amp I was confident that at the least,even if I didn't like the mark 2 setting, I'd like the normal one. I discovered as soon as I demoed that I was mistaken, the normal setting had changed too. I still liked how it sounded, but it wasn't as open, so I quickly nixed the idea

[@rjonsolo1]

@workt71 All those things DO make a difference, but your overall tone comes from your hands, you'll learn that when you get some experience.

[@astrophysics123]

How does this amp compare to the Orange Tiny Terror?

[@Theonlymoog]

@rjonsolo1 and exodor1: There's no need to fight about music, guys. Music's all about the love. Tone, however, is all in the mind. Eddie rocked his Frankenstrat just as well as he did the Wolfgang. And Jack White rocks his garage sale Kay as well as he does his Gretsch. SRV sounded like SRV regardless of what he had in his mitts. It's all very subject to the player and the style.

[@8spider8]

The seeker!! Sweet sound and really "revolutionary" controls...really surprised me.. =)

[@blobby_69]

at 20 watts can you hear yourself over a drumset? just curious

[@Dobermann49]

@Theonlymoog I agree no need to fight but each amp and each brand of guitar have a special tone, different the softs distortion to the cheap distortion, Gretsch sounds as gretesch, Telecaster sounds as telecaster. saludos

[@Mudder1310]

@MyEverConstantSmile Well...that's not the whole story. Could they go to the same volume? Sure, but what you miss is how they get there. The 20w will be running full out, max overdrive. The 50w will reach the same volume earlier, cleaner, then overdrive. In that respect you are right about the 50 doing it "better". Just different.

[@topografer]

i really prefer the liveliness in the high frequencies of the el84 in gainy sounds but i guess the 6v6 will give a better headroom

[@dvdgnzlz25]

I got this amp yesterday from a guy on CL for $300. I feel a little guilty for trying to talk him down. This thing is awesome and really loud. My only gripe is no reverb. I'm gonna need a pedal.

[@ElliottCustomLures]

@jsfelts PRS Singlecut 245. great guitar, but i wish he would use an axe that people looking at amps of this price level would be using, like epiphone or even an se model PRS

[@morrisdelarosa]

Good review

[@jsfelts]

what guitar is he playing?? It has that les paul look, but I know it's not

[@CalenCoffman]

I WANT THAT RED CABLE!!!!!

[@29396]

more volume, more headroom. So a 50 watt amp would have a louder clean sound than a 5 watt, because the 5 watt would break up/ distort your sound. 50 watts is louder too

[@Bluestouse86]

i just bought it today, 549 for the head, 249 for the little cab

[@spctator63]

@jsfelts well i know it's a PRS and the headstock says 245...so i guess it's a PRS 245?I dunno...

[@louisivano]

@Theonlymoog is right it all depends on what sound you prefer. 1 person could say that sounds awesome and then some1 else could say it's crap. it all depens on the player. i personally like both the night train by vox and the egnater rebel. and one day i'll save up some chash & i'll buy one of them

[@GuitarGuy0008]

@modestvermin995 if you stick the right pedal in front of it you can get metal but the actual amp's gain is more of a classic or hard rock sound

[@LordOfThisWorld74]

wow your toatlly right. ive even played that model before haha. didnt really notice. i played his new natural SE too. Its awesome

[@smiley0800]

thats an awesome guitar

[@scottsgh]

at 6:41, nice! i'm going to steal that from you bud. thanx

[@thesplage]

Because we need the essential information.

[@workt71]

Ha ha ha! Dude I have been playing neo-classical for over 20 years...I was only kidding. Thank you for your advise and time.

[@playerofrock04]

Awesome Amp!!!!!!!11 How much is it in $ ??

[@wseeback]

You kinda need to give Egnaters a drop in the mids and push in treble. Then they really sound HOT HOT HOT.

[@astrophysics123]

@JgHaverty thanks man

[@johnistraining]

thank you for voicing my thoughts

[@rafauleciaelcarpio]

@JIRIC8581 i'd say it's a random riff

[@pastorjim]

sounds a little muddy like no highs wonder if the eq is just at 5.

[@zosojplp]

i have this, its pretty nice

[@FastRedPonyCar]

@gerbilsaurusrex1 pretty much my thoughts

[@GuitarOgden]

These amps are great for what you pay, and by all means I am a huge fan, I have a vengeance right now and I havent had any problems. Not all chinese are bad but of course there are going to be duds from the factory, so wat, take it back and get a new one

[@Newbyrock23]

tone starts in your head, your fingers do the walking, and your gear allows you to transfer that tone. Nothing more, SRV could take a crap garage sale guitar and make it sound lovely... dont get sucked into expensive makes you better.

[@mizu206]

Oh and on top of everything you said which makes me assume that you think i don't leave the house, i play sports, mainly paintball, played for pirates d3 played events like wcppl psp nppl uspl and in the earlier days xpsl with echelon nppl with uk soldiers d4

[@intrsoul]

I've discovered that watching these videos with only the LEFT speaker/earbud gets rid of that horrible stereo effect they put on all the GW videos. You can actually hear what it's supposed to sound like ;-)

[@daniellaudman8580]

I just got one

[@Zaspor]

@superchampable in person I hope its different, youtube qualitiy isn't good for listening to tube amp demos- solid state ones maybe... haha

[@andy474x]

good sounding amp, but i like the tweaker better

[@mrgibson]

great amp!

[@dynamitesteel]

@gerbilsaurusrex1 kind of agree with you dude!

[@dalstar925]

@Theonlymoog very well said!

[@Dhammawitt]

@superstitionfree Just got back from playing it. Theres HUGE difference volume, Very noticeable, but its not to say that 1 watt isn't still loud, you're right, but can't say theres no difference.

[@IamtheActionman]

Great magazine but their demos need work!

[@LeeHoMusic]

not a bad amp I have to say....

[@solodini]

Gain "dimed"?

[@askethom04]

He starts playing 2:30

[@JgHaverty]

@Tordah26 Tone is subjective though, keep that in mind :p. I played one at guitar center a little bit ago, and it was just awful. I do like the level of control on this head vs some other "Small" heads, but the sound doesnt hit me right. I think the tiny terror is garbage, but the dual terror is quite decent.

[@Zaspor]

My Egnater tweaker sounds better- I know it has a few other features like tube mix and watt control but still I don't see why an amp that is $130 less by the same company is better O_o?

[@d3reilly]

yeah, but for the money its the bast low watt head. Beats Marshall haze, Orange TT, and the night train.

[@TrippyTheShroom]

hehe, from the club to the bedroom...convientiant, because thats usually where i end up anyway lol

[@sammywombarra]

i'd love to see 'paul ffrom guitar world's guitar,amp and effects collection. that would be interesting

@rjonsolo1 ...So this whole time I am trying different pickups and strings and adjusting the "tone" knob on my guitar and amp all I had to do was change my fingers? WTF?! hahahahaha

[@iplayloud2]

Fuzzy little amp.. IMO bigger amps (like Peavey JSX) at lower volumes sound better than small amps cranked.

[@nicholashewett979]
