Very, Very Nice!

Well, I just received this monster head today. Although too soon to give a comprehensive review, it's really leaving a great impression on me. I have liked EVERY Egnater amp I've ever played, and this amp keeps that string alive for sure. The clean channel is simply amazing, which is shocking to me as most high-gainers don't have great clean channels. My Strat with Lollar pickups is just off the charts amazing sounding through this amp. All the options give you an amazing array of tonal options to mess around with. The gain channel, it's all you have heard and more. Not just a metal monster, lots of flexibility to get all types of gain sounds. I also have a 5150III 50W head, which I also love, but this is a totally different sound all together. It's a really organic distortion, not just a buzz saw going off like some high-gainers. Reminds me a little of the Mesa Mark Series amps. It took me awhile to get a sound dialed in that I really liked, but it was an awful amount of fun getting there! Can't comment much more yet, but I can say with confidence that this is one of the best heads out there at this price point. The folks at Egnater should be commended, other companies would have no problem putting a $2000-plus price tag on an amp like this. Buy with confidence!

Absolute vengeance!!!

I've had this amp for a week now. The cleans on this amp are just amazing...just pristine and clear. I've dialed in warm fender like cleans with the reverb. The notch switches for the clean channel just add to a great channel!

The gain channel is something else... Loads of gain! I've dialed in several sittings that I like. The gain is a unique sound..neither Marshall or Mesa sounding. It's really sings with open chords... Each note pops out on this amp with gain. The best part the amp is super quiet! I love the way this amp can punch out killer riffs! The notch switches on this channel really shapes it in many ways.

I'm still getting the feel with the other options... But they are there if needed.. The ability to change power tubes and bias them is great! Xlr recording out... The foot switch is indeed handy and allows for kicking or dropping the mids on both channels.

MIXED REVIEW...

first, the amp is manufactured in asia. i think there is some reliability issues. mine arrived with 3 bad tubes and the bias wasnt correct. these amps are nowhere near as tough and well built as the 6505. it's also not as loud either. one thing this amp has over the 6505 is mid boost and cleans. this amp has a very dark tone with a little less grit than the rectifier and 6505. thats something thats kinda bothering me. i think if you pair this amp with a good boost like a maxon od808, you will clean up that dark tone a little. i think this amp has potential but... you wont get that killer metal tone without a little help. pair this amp with some V30's, a good boost and an attenuator and... your set
