EGNATER TWEAKER 15 Deep Review

[@StillLivinTheBlues]

Dude! Egnater needs to put you on payroll because that was the most thorough demo for one of their products I've on KZbin!

[@CoryMura]

thx man. yeah i put a lot of love in this video :) nice you like it!

[@mikewalsh7318]

Absolutely, you really worked this amp through all of its features, well done.

[@sanjograi4199]

Best review of the amp, or any for that matter, that I have seen on the internet. Great job, thanks man!

[@leifkeane]

Exploring the settings with a loop is a good idea!

[@furkanber]

F*cking brilliant idea!

[@dgunnut6550]

Great video! Best amp review format I’ve seen. And by far the best review for this amp. It’s actually a really useful review for those of us wanting to really know what it’s like without getting a chance to try it personally. I really like that you not only demonstrate the sounds, but explain everything on the amp. I am not a fan of amp reviews that are only sounds without explaining the amps features. Keep up the good work!

[@adang578]

I have had this amp since it came out. It benefits from a vintage tube swap to your taste. I run into a mesa boogie 1,12 cab with the 90w. Sounds great and has plenty of punch

[@mikec6733]

If using the amp with that voltage power switch in the wrong position, can the amp be damaged? What is the correct position in the USA, by the way?

[@ubertwerpify]

Hey i am also Mike C haha

[@Transtaganu]

I have a tweaker head for some years now, and if i saw this video before i wouldnt took so much time make the decision to buy it. Great review.

[@1ListerofSmeg]

Lol Exactly the same here.

[@rickmilam413]

I'm thinking of one of these for a little practice amp, although 15S is as much as my old Princeton. This will do nicely. You did an excellent job of presenting it, along with the great graphics for the settings. Nice kpb/ . O , sibscrobomg/

[@Maverickt2d]

Another great video ! As some already said, best review of this amp hands down. Love it :)

[@smartacus88]

Damn this thing is cool. Does it all and it does it with that tube thump and growl. It's like the Line 6 Spider of tube amps. That's a complement. Awesome demo. Thanks.

[@CoryMura]

+smartacus88 yes, thats on point!thanks!

[@markalexander4641]

Thank you so much for such a comprehensive demo! I don't live near any music stores, so it was great to have you tweaking loops in real-time: I really feel like I know what this amp can sound like.

[@Ligtez]

Clearly the best review to the amplifier (combo or head). I was already interested in buying it, but I had doubts because I never played one. I'm much more confident now that is right choice to me. If you buy thomann I'll use your link. Thanks!

[@CoryMura]

+Ligtez thanks man! i can just really recommend it. im currently cutting pedal videos with this head so... should give you even more impressions. they are uploaded soon, today or tomorrow.

[@CBRRR-sz9xv]

Bro that was a awesome review one of the best in depth reviews I've seen on a amp

[@PJSGBC]

I always appreciate the time you put into the videos... one comment - not a criticism, I promise - just want to help. But the settings in the images are not the ones on the amp knobs... I only say it for your sake... I still was able to get a lot out of the video and it is helping me make a decision on a purchase, so thanks a gain.

[@Triumphinchrist1]

What kind of effects are best suited for Send/ return? Delays? Will it before or after the amp?

[@Not_Sure-2020]

The larger versions have multiple channels. Much of a Harley Benton fan?

[@jjadams1000]

Excellent review...I have this amp and have gigged out regularly with it...great sounds.

[@perthguitar5160]

Great demo and review man. That jam at the start was particularly awesome. Just sounds great.

[@thomas911a]

Would you go for this or Bugera v22 head for clean and break up tones?

[@NicholasGnames]

I have both and this thing is the clear winner

[@chriscarrillo967]

absolutely fantastic demo & rundown good sir. have you ever used this in a live setting with other musicians / a band? if so, how does the volume and/or headroom hold up? for example, I'm wondering as I have a fender hot rod 40 w combo and it is WAY LOUDER for stage / show volume than I ever expected! Fills the stage plenty before even being miked up -- would this be the same case? On the other hand, I bought a bassbreaker 15 head and it couldn't remotely compete with my band setting so I upgraded to a bb 40. let me know what you think. Thanks Cory

[@MrShellao]

This have issoe with the Transformers I heard that they are giving the Transformers free ,but when I call then they refuse to send me one new and refuse to pay a reissue here in my country, Brazil.

[@chitaristu88]

Hello. Would you recommend this head for "bedroom" practice? I live in an appartment with neighbors nearby. Thanks.

[@mikewalsh7318]

Hi hope you bought it, works great at low volumes. You should be able to dial in any sound you want at those levels.

[@chriskellas2902]

Great review, thanks... now I want one!

[@antonio.cappelli]

Hi Cory, wonderful demo, question: it's 15 watt power what about bedroom use? Thanks

[@CoryMura]

15w is still loud and to loud for bedroom use. personally i would always go for digital solutions or down to 5w if it really needs to be a tube head/combo. dont get me wrong..i use it in bedroom volume too sometimes, but it lacks tone there.

[@antonio.cappelli]

Cory Mura Thanks a lot, I really appreciate, anyway I really love that Egnater

[@trahnettilhcs]

What an outstanding review. Nice work, and thanks for this.

[@unabonger777]

you left it modern the entire time for the presets? otherwise good review.

[@adang578]

It can get super quite like that. The amp itself has a decent sound after a tube swap. From blues to ACDC sounds to acceptable metal.

[@J1O2C3K4E5S]

I'm thnking of selling my Mesa to buy the 40w version of this. But the reviews for 15w are higher. Which one would you recommend? I'm after as much diversity as possible.

[@carljenkins7354]

The Egnator Diagram for the sound settings didn't matach what you were playing. half the time the modern switch was down when it should have been up. I would also agree that a looper is the best way to test the settings for differences, back to back, so that the playing doesn't change at all, because it's a looped copy, you know. Love that part. Still, this was a F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C. review. Love the sounds. You just made an Egnator sale. (to be honest, I was already probably going to, but you sealed it.) lol

[@orryfishburne5326]

I have the Egnater Tweaker 40 Combo and I can’t get a single tone I like out of that amp. I like the tweak ability of the amp and features tho. I do want to try it with a different guitar. I’m using a Schecter Diamond Series Banshee 7-A with Emg humbuckers. I was so excited to try the amp out but once I got it, I was really let down with the tone of the amp. It just has this boxy, muddiness to it. I’m really hoping a different guitar, like single coil or something will change my mind, or maybe getting an extension cab to allow it to breathe a little better and it will open up. I mainly play very clean. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to get my egnator tweaker combo sounding sweeter? I really want to like this amp

[@allstopblue5717]

I’ve got the 15 head as shown in this video. Have had it for about 5 years. NEVER use it. Same issue you have I cannot get a solid tone that inspires me to play. Love the tweakability as well but it’s just kinda flat and 2-D sounding to me.idk getting real close to selling it. I have a $120 Orange micro dark that sounds better to me. Edit: to your question I have many, many guitars high end expensive down to Epiphone and Squier single coil, and humbuckers.

[@orryfishburne5326]

•allstopblue • I’m glad u said that cause I’ve been contemplating selling mine as well. I definitely agree with what u said about it sounding 2d. It’s just ironic how it has so much tweakability but nothing really sounds good. Lol

[@orryfishburne5326]

It also doesn’t take pedals very well. I’m using a Flashback 2 X4 and a Hall Of Fame 2 in the effects loop and both sound very off.

[@tgunmusicchannel1973]

Are you really Mr Harley Benton in the flesh? Nice video, you make amp sing.

[@arturasnx7575]

nice job. after dust setled, what is your opinion about this amp? as a sequel, i suggest opening the amp and do some gear p0rn - very interested what's the build quality :)

[@plasticbleach4004]

How often does a 35 minute DEMO video keep someone thoroughly entertained throughout?

[@LeeHoMusic]

My Tweaker 15 died today. All the power and 12ax7 tubes lighting up but no sound at all... My heart is in paint........

[@dariuskohler251]

Ae man sucks to hear, What was the issue?

[@LeeHoMusic]

@@dariuskohler251 all working now..... All perfect, I tried to fix it myself but finally gave it the specialist. It was only bent part of the fx send socket in the back.......... Nothing major. I was also trying to remove fuse cap in the back to see if the glass fuse is ok and I damaged the fuse holder which cause it to snap off. He fixed it as well. Im happy now

[@blastnblades]

Hey man I see you are using tonerider pickups in this video, how do you like their quality? I heard people call them a affordable bootique brand what do you think about that?

[@FJARKARNIR]

Great work my friend. I just got one of those today. Can you tell me if putting it on standby mode will switch of the usage of the tubes ? It's nice to know in case you wanna avoid switching it on and off all the time ???

[@rveurope]

Cool indpeth review well done! Is the sound of this little big amp remarkable different to El 34 or El 84 loaded amps or black stars..and maybe another question which would be the best cab which one should select for this amp " moving the air", from bed to small jam? Last but not least would you go for the next higher model from Egnater where one can blend 2 set of tubes and you have power contrrol from 0 to full wattage if you would recon again? Thanks

[@Jabskin]

what cab and mic?

[@dragui9932]

Best review of this amp! Very useful. Thank you It's a shame it is not footswitchable

[@MatrixfanMacUser]

Awesome work! You’ve reached the pinnacle of dudeness! :D

[@DonStratus69]

Hi Cory, wäre es ev. möglich das Review bei Gelenheit mal im neuen deutschen Kanal zu wiederholen ?

[@DonStratus69]

Btw. nur die Erklärungen zum Amp natürlich. Die Soundbeispiele passen ja in jeder Sprache :-)

[@flothemo]

Hey Cory Mura. Wärst du so nett mir eine Frage zum Tweaker zu beantworten? Ich überlege schon lange mir einen zu zulegen, habe aber Bedenken wegen der Leistung. Ich habe Nachbarn unter mir. Die sind zwar nicht so empfindlich aber es macht mir mehr Spaß wenn ich niemanden störe. Kann man den leise spielen und klingt er dann noch gut? Ein Bugera G5 wäre ja eine Alternative. Den kann man von 5 Watt auf 1 Watt und 0,1 Warr runter regeln. Wenn jemand anderes hier auch Erfahrung mit dem Tweaker hat, bitte teilt sie mit mir. Vielen Dank

[@CoryMura]

+flothemo ja, also er ist flüsterleise zu betreiben. das heisst aber auch das man natürlich den Endstufen 'Druck' verliert. er klingt dafür aber immer noch sehr gut. habe so schon aufgenommen und bin grad qm überlegen ein kleines Video damit nachzuschieben... immerhin bist du nicht der einzige der gefragt hat. wie der G5 bei den Lautstärken klingt kann ich natürlich nicht sagen.

[@flothemo]

Cory Mura Hey! Danke für die schnelle Antwort. Hab schon viel über den Verstärker gelesen und gesehen. Viele wollen den haben aber denken halt auch das der zu laut für zu Hause ist. Ein Video diesbezüglich wäre der Hammer. Du könntest in der Beschreibung auch noch die 1x12 Cab verlinken. Wenn ich ihn kaufe, dann über deinen Link. Danke für das ausgiebige und sehr gute Video!

[@CoryMura]

man könnte sagen ich habe das quasi für dich gemacht! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/q56neomrlrd6lZI

[@flothemo]

Cory Mura Sehr sehr geil! Das hat sehr geholfen und wird es auch vielen anderen. Großen Dank!!!

[@LukeCannotSkate]

Servus, super review! Ist denke ich ne häufige Frage aber inwieweit reichen 15 Watt für gigs? Man wird zwar meistens mikrofoniert, aber für den Fall dass man mal in einer Spelunke spielt wo die Amps voll arbeiten müssen reicht da die Lautstärke aus?

[@CoryMura]

+Luke Riffs hm... ich selber denke schon das es reicht.. solange du keinen 2 Gitarristen hast der 100w vool aufreisst und dich damit wegbuttert... kommt halt etws auf die Band und deren allgemeine Lautstärke an. Also ich kann kaum vor ihm stehen wenn ich voll aufreisse ohne Schmerzen in den Ohren. 😊 hoffe das hilft

[@seymur312]

Hi Cory, thanks for review. I play mainly guitar, but from time to time bass with a band. Can I use bass guitar with it? I know this question sounds stupid but i dont have much experience with basses.

[@CoryMura]

sure,i played bass about it too and sounds nice. you dont get that deep growl of a bass amp and cabinet but its okay to play around with the bass

[@markalexander4641]

Thanks for your great work, Cory! I agree that this is the best Tweaker 15 demo I've found. The looping works really well for allowing us to see your adjustments in real-time. You sold me on this amp! Mine should be here in a few days! Am I correct in assuming that 15 watts is @ 4 ohms? The manual doesn't clarify the rating, but that's usually what manufacturers do: Namely post the best case scenario, correct?

[@eduardosalgado1229]

What pedal delay do you use with this amp? I use a carbon copy delay pedal from MXR and it sounds terrible when playing the gain chanle.

[@ROHAN4953]

Use it in the fx loop

[@rockssr]

The CC, and several other analog delays like it, do, indeed, sound bad in the effects loop if you’re using a lot of gain, but that’s because those pedals are at a much lower voltage than the line level effects loop. Those pedals have the same problem with other amps that have a hot line level series effects loop. I use the Ebtech LLS-2 (there are a number of other boxes like it) to take the effects out voltage down to the level of the CC and then bring it back up to line level for the effects return. The CC sounds great then, even with high gain. Most digital delays or rack mount effects units work well as-is with the hotter line level effects loop of the Tweaker 15. There are a couple of mods floating around the internet that you can do to overcome this interaction with analog pedals like the CC, but I’d rather use an external box than change the circuit. If you’re set on using the CC (like me), but don’t want to use a line level switcher, you can contact Egnater support. I have read that they will perform the mod for you.

[@chrischoir3594]

What guitar are you playing?

[@alvaroindice]

Can this deliver good clean tones with a drummer playing on top?..is it that loud?

[@alvaroindice]

Grat review by the way! tanxs

[@willbradley8961]

You might want to consider the next size up in terms of wattage

[@orryfishburne5326]

I have the Egnator Tweaker 40 Combo and it’s not loud enough to play with a drummer before hitting breakup so I doubt the 15w version can

[@metallixro]

awesome review gj. oo bad the amp has only one channel.

[@alexwales8914]

The 40 and 88 heads have two channels

[@Cheguebuddha]

Cory what speaker did you use in this demo? Thx!

[@kyfisher3662]

0:23 celestion v30 's

[@rainermanz]

Hallo Cory, tolles Video. Vor allem zeigst du die Einstellungen der Regler, das fehlt bei vielen Videos hier. Ich habe mir schon einige Videos von meinem Combo (Blackstar 20 Studio) angesehen, höre einen sound der mir sehr gut gefällt, kann aber die Einstellungen nicht sehen. Danke für deine Stundenlange Arbeit!! Mit welchem Mikrofon nimmst du deine Box ab? Gruß aus Belgien, Rainer.

[@rainermanz]

OK, jetzt erst gesehen, mich: EV c04.

[@CoryMura]

Rainer Manz genau! 😉 und danke!

[@georgeagustialvarez]

Can I get a loud clean sound with that amp? be honest!!

[@adang578]

What's loud? Crisp punch past a drummer getting it? No. Im going into a mesa boogie cab with a 90w black shadow. With some breakup it is roughly 85% of my fender pro reverb which is 40w into 2, 12s

[@jake_of_the_jungle9840]

Mic it

[@mikewalsh7318]

I'm looking for that and haven't really found what I'm looking for, yet!. I think you can, a clean boost will help drive the volume for clean tones. The gain setting really drives the volume on this amp.

[@daniwest1370]

Hey, can this amp handle low volumes wel? Like i mean beadroom volumes

[@adang578]

Yes but your sound won't be the same as driving the power tubes with volume.

[@daniwest1370]

@@adang578 my idea is use pedals for the Drive and have the amp as aclean platform mostly

[@TobysGuitarGearDemos]

You have a TE-30! Amazing guitar Great demo!

[@niksechtniks]

Thank you for all youre honest review's! your'e one of my favourite go to youtubers! would you recommend this egnater or the bugara v22 for metal/rock? witch has the better sound bundeld with a HB G212 vintage 30? i realy can't decide between the two the bugara v22 sounded realy nice and has a foot switch, but so did the egnater and it was louder, but has no footswitch. it's realy hard to decide haha. Thank you for youre service!

Great job dude. Thanks

Best in depth review of the amp. I got my Egnater tweaker 15 combo after going through the details here. Do check my channel for my amp.

[@BrainPerformTraining]

Great Review! Best i´ve seen on KZbin so far! So this amp can be used in a Bedroom, but can it also be used for some session with a Band?

[@CoryMura]

+Samir Tanjo yes it will work in both situations.
