NAMM 2010 Egnater Tweaker – Multiple Amp Tones in One

Danny Hines — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 03:27:18 +0000

One hot amp at the 2010 NAMM show was the Egnater Tweaker from boutique amp designer Bruce Egnater. What is unique about this amp is the mini switches that are user accessible on the front panel for “tweaking” the amps tonal character. These switches include TIGHT and BRIGHT options as well as VINTAGE and MODERN gain voicings. I’m looking forward to some web reviews of this amp, heck, I would like to fire this amp up myself for a test drive.

The Egnater website has yet to list the Tweaker Amp, but here are the current specs.

15 Watts All-Tube
2 x 6V6 Power Tubes
3 x 12AX7 Pre-amp Tubes
Master Volume, Gain and 3-Band EQ
Modern/Vintage Amp Voicing Switch
Buffered Effects Loop
Selectable AC, British and American Tone Controls
Clean/Hot Gain Selector
Tight & Bright Voicing Switches
100V / 115V / 230V Switchable

Stay tuned to Egnater for more info.
