Egnater Tweaker 112 15W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Black/Beige Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I went to the store fully expecting to walk away with a Fender Blues Junior. After playing both the Fender and this amp multiple times, and leaving the store for an hour to clear my head, I ended up going home with this.
I don't think I have seen such a variety of tone options on an amp this size and/or price that didn't involve some kind of digital modeling. The switches are not just for show, they actually do change the sound. The "Tight" and "Bright" switches do exactly what it says on the label. I am most impressed, however, with the "Brit/AC/USA" 3-way switch. This is like 3 amps in one, and they all sound good.
This thing is built solid. In fact if I had anything to complain about, it is that this is more physical size and weight than I expect in a 15 watt amp. For a "practice" amp, I think I'd get pretty tired of lugging this big baby back and forth from band practice on a daily basis. If you're mental picture of a 15 watt practice amp is a little solid state amp with an 8-inch speaker, you are in for a shock. But I'm guessing they designed it like this for a reason, and it probably wouldn't sound the same with a smaller speaker and more lightweight construction.
It isn't really a 2-channel amp, but it does have a "Clean/Hot" switch. "Clean" ranges from actually clean to pretty damn crunchy, and "Hot" picks up from there and goes to Eleven. If you need more gain than the amp is capable of, the distortion or overdrive pedal of your choosing will probably sound good through it. Fuzz pedals, too.
Like all tube amps, it sounds best with the Master Volume as high as you can stand. (I always think that Master Volume should be labeled "Awesome") At 15 watts it is a bit louder than the 5 watt wonders like the Valve Junior and the Class Five (neither of which even HAVE a Master Volume to turn down), although not "3 times" as loud since Watts Do Not Work That Way. If you live with other people in the same house they will hear it and come tell you to turn it down, in which case you will grumble at them but still be glad you have that Master Volume knob.
