So, my Egnater was in Stansted from the 9th February, on the 20th, still nothing on the Fedex site :(

Then i get a letter explaining i have to pay all the taxes and VAT, which i do at a cost of £272.56.

A few days later i get a letter saying please pay the customs or my amp will be shipped back to the sender in 4 days?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

A phone call back to Fedex (i nearly killed them!), the guy that took my payment 'forgot' to update their system, so it said i didn't pay, but a very helpful lady phoned me back and sorted it out. I think she sympathised with the fact i order this late October.

It arrived this morning! YES!!!!

Although all my gear, cabs etc are at my practice space and i can't play it til Tuesday, still, i'm sure it's going to sound amazing and it's very pretty

I have a midi pedal too, but i forgot to take a pic of that in the excitment, ha!

Phwoar that's gorgeous!

Was this custom built to order in anyway? Like did you choose tolex etc or something?

Why did it take 4 months :O

You don't get to choose tolex etc, they're the Egnater colours like

You get to choose the power valves, 6L6, 5881, EL34, 6V6, 6550 or KT88. You can mix pairs of these in the 100watt version which they're stopping making after they sold the rest off, think there's only 5 left or something.

It took 4 months because i think they're starting to get really really popular and i was on a big list. Plus there was NAMM and Bruces amp building classes

What a sweet, sweet day for you !! Do you know if yours is the first in the UK ?
It looks nice. Should sound awesome. that OT looks nicely beefy too.

Remind us what cab(s) you'll be playing this baby through, and which modules did you go for ?

Mac user and Egnater user = very compatible in my opinion...

I gave up on the MOD50 order, just took too long, meanwhile I got a Budda and a Marshall for that money, but not sure yet what was the better choice, yours or mine :O)

We need a long review and PHAT clips!

Although the Caswell 39 is the only other thing on my GAS list
