I'm in for sure .What a bargain and what sounds. I loves this little guy.I was going to buy the cab also but it sounds so good with my Sovtek cab with 2 Celestion Relic 12's that I'm not going to bother.

[Sargeslide]

I picked up a used one in black, I use it with a Epi 112, sounds great!

[Bodeen]

Hmmmm...doesn't look as though the little Rebel is very popular around here. At any rate, I'll post up my offering.

I use my Rebel 20 at the local Jam night each week through a Marshall 1960A std quad box.

The other side of the stage has a genuine 50W 70s JMP Marshall head through a Krank quad box (ugh)

People fight over who is gonna play the Rebel....

These amps are particularly nice through a greenback equipped quad...like this Fender Tone Master CS Quad for example...

[DirtySteve]

Love it!! I've had mine for a couple of weeks now. I traded a Peavey Classic 50 for it and so far,.. no regrets at all, and my ears thank me everytime I turn it on. I just play for my own enjoyment these days and the Classic 50 was way louder than I could stand in my little appartment and the Rebel is perfect. I think it's a keeper...

Anybody swapped tubes yet?

Oh,... and I really like the matching cab, I think it sounds pretty good now and I expect it to be even better as the speaker breaks in...

The new Egnater 30 is even better than the 20. Some great improvements.
I had the 30 and it was an incredible amp for the price. I did return it because the overdrive was not as clean and even as I needed it to be for Country - so I needed to go to a Dr. Z RXES. But the Egnater is about $600 and the Z is closer to $2700 by the time you get the Air Brake for it....
The new Egnator is also a work of beauty, the two tone brown is gorgeous and you get an great cover with very expensive thread embossing. It is the best looking amp I have had here.
the 30 should be a huge hit. Can even blend between EL and 6V5's - great technology.

Just about to buy one – the 20 head... can't find a combo this side of Christmas.

I'd be using it exclusively at home, but I want a full sound – creamy as opposed to ice-picky highs, southern rock and blues as opposed to country twang. My guitar is an American Deluxe Ash Strat.

Before I buy one (or wait for the combo), I'd be interested to know:

1) What you think is the best spec for a cab... 1x12, 2x12, 4x10... ???

2) Should I look for speakers close to the maximum output – 30-40w rather than, say, 80 watt?

3) What specific speaker(s) is (are) a great match

4) For a stock cab – apart from the matching Egnater, any suggestions?

I was wondering Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 1x12 because they're not too expensive, nor too big and it wouldn't kill me if I eBay'd the Celestion that's in it.

I'll put this up as a new thread... sorry if you get deja vu.

Had one for six months. Still loving it. Best grab and go blues/rock jam head ever.

If you're using it at home, you might struggle to get the full potential out of this amp, I feel.

I think that it's at its best when played through a 4 x 12 head, running at 50% on volume and gain together (at a minimum). But at those levels, it is very LOUD.

I know it's completely shallow, but I can't get past the name.

Sounds like a breakfast entree.

I ordered a 30W combo from MF last night. My wife say's she hopes I'm happy with my new Eggbert!!

I'll post a family portrait next week when it arrives.

Did you get a chance to play the 20 and the 30? If so, what sold you on the 30? I'm looking at both and like the 30, but am concerned that they crammed everything into the same size box--I'm thinking about the sound.

[Parma_TeleMon]

They didn't have a 20, but the place was a zoo and I don't know if I would have taken the time to A/B 'em. I wouldn't worry about the tone, though - the 10 watt difference is only going to translate into dB at BIG volume, and this thing is plenty loud. And it only weighs 40#!!! I'm gonna be a happy, happy camper (and so is my back).
