Product Description
Egnater Renegade 112 All-Tube Guitar Combo Amplifier

Plug in to all-tube tone that takes no prisoners! The incredibly versatile Egnater Renegade 112 All-Tube Guitar Combo Amplifier is a 2-channel powerhouse that gives you the tools to forge your sound and the power to move some serious air in any size venue. Channel 1 produces lush, three dimensional clean tones with just a bit of grunt when you dig in. Channel 2 starts with a sweet, bluesy overdrive, but pushing the gain opens the floodgates, unleashing enough thick, harmonically rich distortion to satisfy the most demanding player.

Both channels offer an independent 3-band EQ, Egnater’s Bright and Tight switches and a Wattage Selector switch that lets you choose between an intimate 18W or a wall-shaking 65W. Master Presence and Density knobs let you sculpt the high and low-end response.

At the heart of this tone machine, you’ll find five 12AX7 preamp tubes and a power section fueled by two 6L6s and two EL34s. Renegade features the ground-breaking Tube Mix function on each channel, allowing you to blend the deep Californian character of the 6L6s with the aggressive British midrange punch of the EL34s. There are independent reverb controls for each channel, dual footswitchable master volumes and a speaker-emulated line out.

The included 4-button footswitch controls much more than just channel switching. It also engages the on-board reverb, effects loop and secondary master volume with channel-assigning switches for all three. Run them on both channels or just the one you choose.

Joe brought an Egnator Tourmaster last weekend to the OC blues jam. I did not like it. Very brittle sounding and way too many knobs to tweak.

I've tried a few Egnaters and have wanted very much to like them... I do really like the idea of the amps but they are usually a little stiff feeling for me.
 
The Renegade is a very nice, very versatile amp. THat having been said, I still sold mine because my Marshall fits my band better, and finances prefer me to have fewer amps at the moment.

If I get one of these gigs it would be cool to have an amp like this ("this" meaning "new, not too expensive and not sucky") but it would have to be something I could live with. Having a more modern amp would be nice for a change, too.
