Very convincing set of videos here, showing off all the different modules for the Egnater Mod50:

I find the Vox, the Blackface DLX, the SL2 and the Recto all very convincing, and it's awesome how well tempered those overtones come across, and even on the almost clean settings the beast goes into harmonic feedback.

Seriously, check the vids and tell me, might this be the best amp ever or is it just an artificial rip-off of the real things?

Looks like the same idea as a Randall amp I tried a few weeks back, loads of separate modules you can get, so it's a pretty good amp choice for anyone with a studio who needs a range of different amps for their clients, without the hassle of storage. It's a great idea for sure!

hahah... that looks amazing! But yeah... it's the same as the Randall idea!

I think Bruce Egnater worked together with randall, and helped them with the modules..

Yes the MOD50 is even compatible, you can use the Egnater modules with the Randall RM amps, but only the first channel of Egnaters 2channel modules works.

However, the MOD50 from Egnater is significantly better quality than the Randall RM amps, I tested an RM100 a year back and it sounded nothing like those clips from Indoorstorm.

It's incredible!Very good vids...the guy is also very good with singlecoil's guitars.I really need to check it myself first before i would say it's the best-ever though..But that's impressive stuff!I like it very much.NB:When i change my power tubes,it completely transform the amp's sound but here (like Randall),they just change the "pre amp"'s....

I have only one question.

Price?

I like the idea of getting the pre-amp model, or 100watt model. I'd want three channels at least.

Clean/Rhythm/Lead. Naturally.

$1.999 for the 50 watt head, and $389 for the modules

Big price tag!! It always seems to be the modules that bring the price right up. Over $3000 for a 50w head with 3 modules... sounds good though.

The $1999 includes two modules

Ahhh bit better then!! I don't think I could choose just 3 modules though haha. I`d definitely have an SLP though.

samoth2 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 02, 2007, 10:50:24 AM »

Yeah, I also think SLP would be my number one 8)

I liked the Bassman module though the Vox was great too.I haven't listened to the blackface module-a bit busy today.
