    Rebel 20 - new tubes

    I need more of a 2 channel amp now so I tried the Rebel 30 and LOVED the clean channel but just couldn't jive with the OD channel. Sounds good for what it is but for me it was a little too dark, bassy and vintage whereas I need more modern and "tight". So I decided to hang on to my Rebel 20...

    Pulled the trigger - ordered a Rebel 30

    Gotta love Labor Day weekend. MF always has a big sale so I ordered a Rebel 30 and got 15% off and free shipping. Thought now would be a great time to try out the 30 at home and spend a few quality weeks with it to determine if it is a keeper or do I just stick with my 20. I have had my...

    Rebel 20 vs Rebel 30 - tone differences and similarities

    Looking for a little input from those of you who have spent time with both the Rebel 20 and Rebel 30 (head). I have had my Rebel 20 for about 22 months and I love it - my only complaint was I wish it had 2 channels. Then, a short while after buying my 20, Egnater announces the two channel...

    Musical styles

    There's a lot of knowledge on this forum regarding gear but I have always wondered, what types of music are you playing thru your gear? For example, I grew up on 80's metal but am a serious afficionado of prog metal (Dream Theater, Symphony X, Kamelot, et al). I also work on a lot of...

    Rebel 20 into the TM 212

    Well, I took advantage of the Guitar Center President's Day weekend sale and ordered a used TM 212 cab. Got it for $395 minus 15% coupon. Came in mint condition and my Rebel 20 looks so little sitting on top. BUT, it sounds monstrous. This is my first real cab after playing thru my little...

    My Rebel's never sounded better!

    I've had my Rebel a little over a year now and I love it. But this past week I made the following upgrades to my set up: 1) Replaced a Visual Sound 1-Spot with a BBE Supa Charger 2) Replaced my cheap but effective Warwick pedalboard with a PedalTrain PT-2 3) Rewired the board with George L's...

    Question for PedalTrain users...

    I finally upgraded my pedal power (got rid of the noisy VS 1-Spot) and so of course that's a great time to upgrade my board (at least that was my rationale with the wifey) ;) So I received a PT-2 today and was wondering if you guys are using mounting plates for your wahs and volume pedals? I...

    Question regarding Rebel/E2 combo

    Just kicking ideas around here. With the E2, would I be able to dial in a clean setting on my Rebel and with the E2 use a mid gain and high gain module and be able to access all three on the fly with a foot controller? I was originally thinking I would get a T/D and EG5 but if I can use the...

    Question regarding use of EQ pedals w/ Rebel/tube amps

    A buddy of mine that I jam with really loved my Rebel 20 so he recently got one. We jammed over the weekend but he had a Boss GE7 in the effects loop because he wanted a more modern and aggressive tone (so do I). I noticed a pretty dramatic difference between his amp and mine. Mine sounded...

    Let's hear what Santa brought you this year

    Any good gear under the tree this year? Thought it would be fun to share what we received this year. I had a short wishlist: Gear: Ernie Ball Volume Pedal JR (always used my guitar volume for swells but my EB Music Man is too tough to do those on, never had a VP so I thought that would be...

    Some new toys for my Rebel

    Haven't posted in a while but I just recently got some new toys that's adding to the fun I am having with the Rebel. I had ordered a Damage Control Glass Nexus about a month ago but Musician's Friend kept moving the availability date back to sometime in January. So I picked up one on Ebay for...

    Looking for a multieffects unit

    I haven't had the option of an effects loop in a while but now that I have my Rebel I am looking to get a good mulieffects unit to run in the loop. Just need something for reverbs, delay, modulation, etc that is midi controllable and under $500. I was hoping some of you could help narrow down...

    Dirt pedals for the Rebel

    Wow! Spent all weekend putting this little guy thru its paces and it rocks! :rock: I've pulled out all my pedals to see what the best combination is and less is more sometimes. I have a modded DS-1 that as a boost really makes the metal side of the amp rip. I haven't used that pedal in a...

    Rebel videos

    Any of you lucky few that already have your Rebel plan on posting any videos/audio clips? I have seen the three new videos on youtube but that's it. Would love to see some of you putting the Rebel thru its paces with your favorite OD pedal and other effects. At least while I wait for mine to...

    Rebel + E2

    Greetings, New to the forum and this is my first post. Thought I'd throw myself into the mix since I ordered a Rebel from MF last night. Been following Egnater for a while, especially since they originally announced the Rebel. Someone mentioned in a different thread about combining the Rebel...
