Rock is Back With a Vengeance! The Egnater Vengeance is a high-gain, two channel amp with 120-Watts of intense tube tone that gives you the arsenal needed to wreak havoc. Channel 1 goes from lush, organic cleans to heavy crunchy rhythm. Channel 2 produces serious overdrive from classic rock to extreme modern metal. Each channel features Egnater's signature tight and bright voicing switches and a unique, foot-switchable, mid cut/boost switch to further customize your tone. The independent reverb on each channel features our innovative "spillover" design which allows natural decay when switching channels. The foot switchable secondary master volume lets you push your solo to harrowing heights. The buffered effects loop with independent send and return level controls assures flawless integration with external units. The balanced speaker-emulated output lets you go directly out to the board live or in the studio. The 6 button footswitch connects to the amp via a standard XLR cable and the 1/4 inch jacks for external control of the switching functions, provide increased flexibility.

"A terrific Amp"
Sound:
With my other amps, I have ran a EQ pedal to give it a bit of bolder sound I have had the amp now for a month now and haven't felt the need to do it at all. I feel more comfortable with the way it sounds with nothing between my guitar and the amp and the amp and the loop empty, this of course may change with some experimenting. But for the sake of the review, I didnt do it. With the ESP (85/81) the cleans sound very clear and it definitely had that EMG sound, most guitars with EMG's in them you can tell right a way, and the amp on the clean side of things really sound crystal like with out being brittle at all. The Gibson sound the best through it, the amp has a well rounded clean tone that is amazing in a high gain amp, and it makes the most of your guitar's sound. The problem I have with the clean, is that sometimes I want my low E to boom out a bit more over the other notes, the amp is so even in its tone no matter what settings you EQ with, it everything blends well, however this can be a very good thing or a bad thing depending on the song. Unfortunately the channel 2 is the same way in this matter, however I dont find it to be a major fault and it can be worked with if not a little more than I would have liked to. Channel one (clean channel ) can get pretty hairy pretty quickly with the gain knob to the point of some good 70's crunch but not quite enough for a metal crunch, I tend to use the EMG's on crunch channels rather than lead channels for rhythm stuff, because of them being high output pup, it feels tighter and thats what fits my playing style. However with that said the ESP did very well in channel 2, though if recording, I would dial the gain back a little bit just to maintain a tighter sound. The Gibson was where it really came together I am becoming more and more of a believer in low out put pickups in high gain amps, and with the tight sound of a Gibson and the tightness of this amps bottom end and the over all clarity is outstanding. Evem with my custom explorer with the bolt on neck sounded tight which is kinda hard to do with a bolt on. The amp has plenty of different sounds in it. Its worth noting that it comes with 6L6 tubes, however even so you can get a more british sound out of the amp if you play around with the many options that it has. However, this is where I do have very small issue, the amp itself is what I like so luckly I didnt have to play around to much to find what I liked for my tone. However, the EQ on both channels are a bit to subtle for me, I would have like them to be a bit more responsive. Most of the other amps I have played you could slightly turn the knobs and you would get quite a noticeable difference, this amp is much more subtle, however they tend to work so much with the presence and density knobs that they are in my opinion a little to reliant on them. The density knob seems to mud up the sound a little to quick, the presence is perfect, but the density I tend to have to fight a bit, and I dont scoop my sound like one might think. I usually keep the density around 9 o clock and the bass of the EQ around 2 - 3 o clock, I keep the mids around 9-10 o clock and use the mid + option on the amp and have the treble in the same position as the bass and the presence as well with the gain around 2-3 ... it comes out very chunky and even to me, also I keep the tight and bright engaged. However, even though they might not be the most responsive EQ, this I think can also be a good thing in that one frequency doesn't completely dominate the other to the point where it deludes the tone to much. I know confusing right? What it does though is complement the way you play much better than any other amp I have every played. It comes across very full and no gaps in the over all scheme of the sound. Like some amps, you tend to use a eq pedal or something in a rack to push the mids or w/e frequency you feel missing. I have had to do this with every amp, with this amp I dont have to, I would just want to in order to shape my sound just a tad more. I play in several different tunnings, mostly E and E flat when doing my own thing, however I do tune down sometimes and the clarity remained the same after tweeking the EQ a bit. This is not the loudest amp I played, nor is it by far a quiet amp, remember 120 watts dosnt necessarily mean the how loud it will go, as much as it is the head room. You can switch to use the 60 watt mode to play somewhat bedroom level volume, however it does feel a little choked, the amp has to be cranked a bit more to really come into its own. Its not as loud as the 5150, however it is more defined and much more even and in my opinion as a little more guts to it... The amp can be a bit noisy, even with quiet pickups but it can be controlled a bit and I do recommend a gate, but this not unusual thing, in fact its a quite a bit quieter than a lot of other amps. The only major downfall is the reverb, it can be usable but its a bit to wet at times, the most i would ever got would be around 12-1 o clock on it, after that it loses a lot in my opinion. But like I said, still useable. One other small complaint I have, is that the loop switch has to be on to get a good live gig playing volume, and it relies to much on the loop switch being on for its volume boost, I didnt care for that much at all, and it may become a issue when I want to run some things through the loop at only certain parts. I haven't got to test this yet. It does remind me quite a bit of a ENGL sound with a little bit of Mesa maybe, but its entirely in its own world and its unique, I am very happy with that.
Feature:
As I mentioned above the EQ knobs arent as responsive in a immediate way and this can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it, over I find it be not a problem. The tight, bright and gain switches, along with responsive density and presence controls really open up the amps tonal possibilities. Its got everything on the back you could ask for, it would have been nice to be able to have a slave feature if you ever wanted to blend amps, but thats not a necessary thing at all. Its got the basics you need, which are already in the description of the amp. The foot switch is very nice, I might have changed the layout a bit however thats more of a personal thing and I will have to learn it better, I do like that you can switch the reverb on and off and boost the mids from the pedal and having a 2nd master is INVALUABLE, its one my favorite things about the amp that isnt really tone related. For a two channel amp if gives you plent of options with having the option paralyses of say a Mesa Mark series or something of that nature. I was contemplating waiting for the Armegeddon to come out, with its extra channel and built in noise gate, however with the price difference being what it is, I think the Vengeance is a more solid buy, especially if you already have a noise gate and only play on 1 or 2 channels. Its not saying its better, I have only got to play with a Armageddon briefly, but I am very happy that chose the Vengeance and your tighter on cash, this amp is just the same with a few less features that are more luxury then anything else IF you already have the pedals ( noise gate, eq ). One small pieve I had, is that the switches for the tight,bright and gain were a little on the small side for me, but at least made of metal! It does come with a fan to keep the air flowing which I thought was a very cool touch, and you dont hear it all when your playing and the few recordings I did, I didnt hear it either, it makes a little noise when you first fire it up but it calms down real quick.
Ease of Use:
It was pretty quick to set up and get going out of the box. All the other issues related to the sound I already wrote about, being the response of the EQ knobs and loop having far to much volume boost as opposed to the amp volume with out it. However, this could be to make the sound tigher for whatever reason as far as signal paths go, I do not know I dont have the knowledge to know for certain. The switches really give you a definite change of tone with or them engaged or not and that can really help narrow down your sound a bit more. Its pretty straight forward and easy to use, but yet just enough there to keep people who like the experiment, like me, happy.
Quality:
Built like a tank, everything feels solid, and unlike many amps, it feels like it could take a beating, though I am really careful and baby things a bit sometimes, I wouldnt worry about taking it out on the road at all.
Value:
Excellent, I cannot recommend a amp within a 400 dollar give or take range, better than this one. I would take it over any of my other amps and ones of band members I have had played with as well. If you want a 6L6 American style amp, I would take this in a heartbeat. You can also tube it with EL tubes for a more true British sound, however it becomes a different thing then.
Manufacturer Support:
Havent had to deal with them, however that is a good thing. My one issue is that the amp didnt come with a manual, that I would have liked, you can download from them directly on their website but if they can send me a catalog with it, they could have at least sent me a manual too...
The Wow Factor:
Its different, its not a peavey, its not a marshall, its not a mesa, its something on its own its unique and with its price the way it is, its the one of the best out there, especially for someone who dosnt want to follow the herd. Plus its awesomely black... ha!
Overall:
I had been looking for something different and not as well known or maybe your typical amp brand, in the world of Metal you basically have the big 3 ( arguably more ) popular amps, the Mesa's , the Marshalls, and of course the 5150/6505 series of amps, of you got your Engls and Randalls and what not, but even still I wanted something different, and since I got this, I am very pleased. I did have a budget, I didnt want to pay to much I feel some amps are over priced by far, I find it funny that some amps are more expensive then musicians cars... well a lot of time anyways. So the price of the amp is more than worth it, I could easily see it selling for a 400-500 more, however I would feel less satisfied as I do, however that is not a knock against sound or quality, just they're are amps out there that are more expensive and in my opinion dont come close. I havent owned to many amps in my time, I have had a 5150ii, a hughes and kettner switchblade and a Bugera 333. I play a Gibson Explorer 77 with stock pickups, a ESP LTD Viper 300 with EMG 85/81, and a custom made Explorer with Seymour Duncan 59 and JB match set ( alder body and mahogany bolt on neck ) I tend to play diferent styles of metal, and some folky stuff and I do use the clean channel a lot, ( Metallica, Iced Earth, Immortal, Amon Amarth and the mighty Dethklok lol )
