Title: New gear for my bday
Post by: aballen on May 25, 2013, 11:49:50 AM
:D

Well I'm turning 40 this weekend, and I thought I should get myself something special.  That coupled with a gift certificate at guitar center, and a 25% coupon... and a trade in.

I traded up my spider IV 120 for this.

Other than my firefly amp, this is my first real tube amp.  I have to say I'm pretty pleased with it.  Seems to really nail some tones that I wanted,  I find I'm preferring the EL84 over the 6V6...bit I've only had it for a day.  I would have preferred a combo amp, but this is what they has in stock, and frankly its easier to carry.

Suprisingly loud too for something so small.... love new toys.

Ooooooh, very nice amp! And happy Bday, aballen! I was kinda tempted myself this week (a friend of mine who has a ridiculous amount of gear is unloading a lot, since his girlfriend is moving in), but i resisted. Now, I want to go try out an Egnater, heard so many cool things about them... Enjoy dude!!

Awesome, dude! You will enjoy that. Don't let the mid-life crisis get to you too much!

No crisis here, I've  got two kids so I just keep reminding myself... I'm not getting old, I'm just really tired :)

There is a line out on this amp.. XLR,  do you guys know of a good way to convert line out to a headphone out?

I'm growing to be a large Egnater fan. That amp is awesome, I hope you like it tonnes.

Nice!  Happy Birthday!
I tried out that amp too, it was really sweet and it nailed this one crunch sound so perfectly.
I'm sure you'll be pulling new sounds out of that for a year.

Enjoy!
