Loving my Egnater Rebel 20 amp!

Got it yesterday and I can't stop playing on it! This thing is incredible. I'm new to tube amps so I'm still learning alot, but this thing is fun. Like having a hundred favorite toys in a lunch box. And it seriously likes the Cmatmods Brownie pedal!! It's a perfect match for a one channel amp if you use pedals to switch from gain to clean tones. This thing is sweet!

Congrats!

I had one for a few years and I really liked that amp. I ended up selling it to get a Rebel 30 combo but I didn't like the R30 nearly as much as the R20. I liked the dirty cleans of the R20 and the drive. the R30 has a killer clean though.

If the R20 came in a combo I would have owned it a long time ago.

I got mine last week and am incredibly impressed with the tone. Until I get a cab for it, I'm playing it through a Fender 4x10 cab. It rocks!

I have the Rebel 20 for four years and I love it too. I changed stock Sovtek preamp tubes to EH and Mullard to increase the gain and to get some overall sound improving. Run it through Marshall 2x12 cab... Lots of Rock 'n' Roll !!

Tried a PRS SC245 in a store, left more impressed with that amp than the guitar. Great sounding amp.

Congrats! I've been enjoying a Rebel 30 combo/mini stack the past two years as well.

Thumbs up

I'm totally floored and at a loss for words to describe this amp!

I needed to put together a rig with a really small footprint for a club date in L.A.
so I picked up a Rebel 20 head at GC earlier this week

The evening of the gig, I was in a rush to get out the door, and I forgot my ***%$@# pedal board!

At any rate, it turns out I didn't need any pedals - this little guy absolutely destroyed the room all by its lonesome.

The other musicians on the gig couldn't stop raving about how great it sounded.

Just the Rebel 20 head into a custom pine 1x12 cab loaded with a Scumback H75 (30W.)

One of the other guitar players was kind enough to loan me an A/B box so I could set the Egnater up for distortion and use a Deluxe Reverb for cleans.

I'm not sure which is more amazing - the richness and complexity of the tones this amp produces, or the fact that Bruce & CO can offer a boutique-quality amp at this price point!

Anyway, the Rebel 20 is my new favorite club amp.

Can't believe how great this thing sounds right out of the box with the production tubes.

That never happens to me!

I can only imagine what it'll sound like with some nice NOS RCA black plate 6V6s and a Telefunken smooth plate 12AX7 in V1.

Viagra for the ears!
