Product Description

Egnater's flagship guitar amp, the Tourmaster 4100, has four distinct channels of all-tube tone that give you the power to conjure virtually any sound imaginable from country twang, bluesy breakup, raunchy crunch to metallic roar. You get all this versatility with straight-forward, user-friendly controls that make it easy to find the tone in your head.

Features

- 100-watt all-tube head
- Four channels with selectable voicing
- Power Grid: set wattage for each channel from 10-watt to 100-watt
- Tube-driven assignable effects loop
- Tube-driven reverb
- Rugged six-button footswitch
- Tubes: 8 x ECC83S & 4 x 6L6

Channels
Clean/Vintage 1 is the cleanest channel, while Clean/Vintage 2 loosens the reins a bit, responding with smooth, buttery overdrive when pushed. Overdrive 1 is the ultimate crunch channel, articulate and percussive with a powerful thump you can feel. And when you crave serious gain for the fattest leads and most over-the-top riffs, Overdrive 2 has all you need and more.

Front Panel Features
- Tube-driven reverb
- Master presence/density

Four independent channels each with:
- Gain control
- Master control
- Treble, Middle, Bass
- Classic/Modern Voicing switch

All four channels feature 3-band EQ, gain, volume, contour knobs and a switch for modern / classic voicing. Master reverb, presence and density controls cover all channels.

Power Grid

The Tourmaster Power Grid allows you to independently set the wattage on each of the four channels:

- At full power: 25, 50 or 100 watts
- At half power: 10, 25 or 50 watts

Tourmaster features Egnater's exclusive Power Grid, which allows you to independently set each channel's wattage from 10 to 100 watts. With the Power Grid you get the best of both words - great power tube distortion at lower levels and tons of clean headroom on demand. Tube-driven reverb, a channel-assignable, tube-buffered effects loop, speaker simulated line out and simple master bias adjust with test points are just some of the features you'll find in this feature-packed beast.

Rear Panel Features

- Cabinet voiced Line/Recording Out
- Simple Master Bias adjust with test points
- Assignable tube-driven effects loop:
-- Assign to channels 1 and 2
-- Assign to channels 3 and 4
-- Assign to all four channels
-- Assign to pedal only
-- Send and return level controls
-- Selectable series or parallel


About 4-Channel Operation

Think of the Tourmaster as four separate amps in one box. Each channel has an identical set of controls that are simply repeated four times. That is where the similarity ends.

Clean/Vintage 1 is the cleanest of the four. Within this channel lives a range of Classic tones ranging from pristine sparkle with the voicing switch set to Modern to a punchy, aggressive drive (think clean JTM) in the Classic mode. Pressing the button to activate the Contour control opens an entire new range of beautiful clean, almost acoustic, tones not often found in a tube amplifier.

Clean/Vintage 2 has a very similar voicing to the Clean/Vintage 1 channel. Egnater has added more gain so this channel can be "pushed" into mild overdrive. Sweet blues and classic rock tones are easily coaxed out of this channel. The contour knob adds another level of unique flavors.

Overdrive 1: From AC/DC crunch to modern rock, this channel covers a lot of bases all by itself. Dial down the gain and the feel is pure classic rock. Push the gain and enter into more modern, saturated territory. Scoop the mids with the Contour control for monstrous metal or set it for classic British rhythm.

Overdrive 2: The Tourmaster's most intense channel, you'll find ferocious gain with a wide range of tones to suit the '80s shredder as well as the heaviest modern metal player. Scoop the mids with the powerful Contour control for massive crunch or push the midrange for a solo tone that cuts through with serious authority.

Power Grid: This is a really cool feature your will only find on the Egnater Tourmaster(tm) amps. Using a group of 5 slide switches on the rear panel, you can set the power output for each channel individually. There is a 3 position slide switch corresponding to each of the four channels and a single Full Power/ Half Power slide switch. In Full Power mode you can choose between 100, 50, or 25 watts per channel. In the Half Power mode you can between choose 50, 25, or 10 watts per channel.

With the Tourmaster you not only have a wide array of tones available from the preamp channels, but with the Power Grid you can introduce any amount of power tube distortion you wish to each channel, all preset and automatic. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Egnater products.

Customer Reviews
4 out of 5 (5 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "I've owned some great amps, this one is the one I'm keeping."
Sound: Everything from clean with shimmering highs to full on speed metal tones, four channels with knobs that actually DO something to your tone... each channel progressively has more gain available. Still shaping my tones for a few different tracks. The one drawback might be that you'll find yourself tweaking tones for hours, because you'll keep finding something you like better! Looking for Clapton? its in there. Hendrix? in there. Mustaine? yep. Warm jazz tones? yep. Feature: used to have a Mesa MK III C+, never could find what I was looking for tone wise (the phase push/pulls always seemed useless), and I've owned one of the easiest amps to tune in for tone as well (Soldano Hot Rod 50). All channels are VERY responsive on this, and LOVE the power grid and assignable effects loop. Haven't tried the cabinet modeled line out yet, kind of a purist... like the idea of a mic (or two) in front of Celestion vintage 30's. Everything is responsive from the classic/modern switches to the 'shape', whatever you're looking for sound wise is there. Ease of Use: A tweaker's dream. All four channels have exactly the same knobs/switches... and again, they actually DO change the tone! I plugged in and set up four different sounds on the four channels in about 20 minutes, then just kept tweaking depending on what style I was playing. Very easy to use. Quality: Monster built. the head reminds me of my old JCM 800, except it weighs about 20 lbs. more and is a bit deeper size wise. Looks top notch to me. Here's a clue, when mine showed up it'd been lost in the UPS system for about four days... the box looked like it had a run in with a Hummer (all four bottom corners had scraped holes in them)... Very worrisome. Pulled it out, no tinkle of glass (telltale tube woes) and not a scratch on it. Definitely looked like it'd been bounced a few times though. Plugged it in, warmed it up... sounds perfect. The footswitch is great as well, heavy steel with heavy duty switches and a midi plug (which means if you need more space on stage, just buy a longer midi cable). Value: Really can't say enough about the tones available. I suppose you could go for one of the lower wattage Egnater amps (I'm sold on Egnater) if you're using it strictly for recording (the Tweaker series maybe?) and save a bit of cash... but if you're looking for something for stage use, this thing will handle anything from a small coffee house gig to a large stage (switchable from 10 to 100 watts, on every channel!)... just add more speaker cabs. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with Egnater's support yet... don't think I'll have to for a while either. Based on everything else I've experienced with this amp, I have a feeling support won't be an issue. The Wow Factor: Tube amp sex appeal? not sure about that... but I might've traded it for something else if it wasn't so great. Can definitely say 'I want it' now though. Have gotten rid of a bunch of amps in the past, will probably buy different amps in the future, but this thing will be staying around. Overall: Definitely pleased with this amp (as if you can't tell from the review). Haven't even hooked up any effects to this yet... still reveling in the tube warmth, clarity and crunch.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Egnater Tourmaster head"
Sound: Great!!! You can get just about any tone desired from this amp. I got mine set up so Channel 1 is basically a nice bright vox clean. Channel 2 is pretty much set up to sound like a pushed plexi breaking up but not much, if i need a little more i use my green screamer. Channel 3 is my most used channel, and i have it set up somewhere in between a jcm and super lead sound. Then on Channel 4 i have it set up as my high gain solo channel, basically a boogie type sound. I have the power grid dialed down to 25watts on every channel but the clean one so i can get than nice power tube break up without the ear splitting volumes...don't even need to use my attenuator on this one. Feature: Most useful feature to me is the vintage/modern switch, completely changes the tonal characteristics. I have mine all set to vintage as that's more what i'm looking for(classic marshall sound). The power grid is also very useful is i run the amp volumes pretty high to get power tube distortion. So i can dial down the power and get some great breakup at non-ear splitting volumes. Given its still pretty loud even at 10 watts but as long as you don't plan on playing at bedroom volumes its great, a plexi glass shield makes a huge difference too. Ease of Use: It's really easy to get a great sound from this in minutes, but there is a little learning curve as controls on different amps are all pretty different. It took me a couple of weeks to get my sound completely perfected but thats to be expected with most multi channel amps. But one suggestion i have to any guitar player when messing with settings is use your ears not your eyes. Quality: Yes it is made in china but to me it seems great, built like a tank. I'm kinda glad it was built in china because if it was made in the USA it would double if not triple the price. I've read some reviews describing issues with this amp and i've encountered none. But then again people complain about every amp, i'm beginning to think these problems are more the user and not the amp. Value: Totally worth it for the money...Great buy!! Manufacturer Support: Havn't had to deal with them yet. The Wow Factor: Looks great sounds great what else can you ask for??? Overall: Overall, i'd say this is a great amp if you need a variety of tones out of a single head. If your looking for great vintage tones or even modern ones this amps for you!
