I am relatively new to this forum and I am really trying to cut down my time spent on forums in general, but I just had to let you guys know of something. The Egnater Mod 50 is hands down, the best amp I have ever tried. I have been playing for around 13 years and I have been through my fair share of amps. We'll start with my first tube amp.
In high school, my main amp was a Soldano Atomic 16 head. Great amp, but not enough bass, not enough gain, and no FX loop. In college I scored a Carvin MTS head for dirt cheap and used that for a couple years. It tirned out to be pretty unreliable, though it is great for the money as far as tone. Next, I got a Marshall JTM 30 which also sounded nice through a 4x12 but was unreliable and lacked some bottom end, although it had that great Marshall feel factor. Next I scored a Boogie Mark 3 which I loved and loved. But, I felt it lacked a little in the feel department. It took me a while to realize this, but I finally did. Next, I ended up scoring a Marshall TSL for dirt drit cheap. I bought it to resell but it ended up sounding pretty awesome. Out of all of the amps I had purchased prior, it had the best feel. Maybe it was the hyped midrange or something, but it just felt good to play. Unfortunately, it had some footswitch glitches (the footswitch sucked!) and I didn't like the FX loop. Next I bought a Boogie Rectoverb combo (also a good deal) and it had a massive, huge sound, but once again, it lacked the feel of the Marshall. It was about this time that I decided to pull the trigger on the Egnater.
I had first heard about the Mod 50 maybe a year prior to buying the Boogie mark 3. It was about then that I had decided to save up. I was teaching guitar at the time and working retail so I had a separate 'craigslist' fund. I ended up putting a deposit on the Mod 50, and about 6 months later it was delivered. To this day, I love it love it love it; it does everything I want. I use the SL2 and BMan modules and they are incredible. Talk about an all around amp, every channel sounds amazing.
Out of all of the amps I had bought, the only ones left are the Mark 3, the Soldano, and of course the Egnater Mod 50.
I am so relieved to not been wanting a different amp, man it is a great feeling to be satisfied.
Good luck with your tone searches. We are all different and look for different things in an amp. I am very very happy to have finally found mine, and only after 13 years!

). So I like my cleans glassy clean or dirty clean, and my gain gut-busting. So for me:
I own the T/D too, which is a great Fendery module, I just find I don't use it as much as the four above.
