    Smallbox module possibility?

    Like, Plexi-clean to medium gain on one channel, med-to-high (vintage BE?) on the other. I’ve read that the Plexi & 800 modules don’t clean up much at all. Does the Metropoulos mod cover this?

    Egnater MOD50: clean modules as pedal platform

    I posted this over on Rig-Talk, but figured I'd try here as well I've had my MOD50 for about five years and haven't used it as much as hoped, mostly because the cab/speakers I've had for the duration weren't ideal, and my easy/go-to setup is a Fender Super Reverb for clean + some reverb, and...

    SYN001 or 002 bypass: pedal friendly?

    There are a small handful of dirt/fuzz pedals that I'm just not going to give up. And as much as I've tried, I still can't get those pedals to sound good through my Egnater T/D or BMAN modules (set clean) in my MOD50. Looking at a couple of modern amps (i.e. with an effects loop) that have...

    Synergy M4 - interest?

    Just curious if a Synergy M4 would generate more interest than the 2-module preamps or heads. I know I can get two SYN002s and treat that like an M4, but a single appliance would be simpler. I swear the M4 rig I had sounded better than the MOD50 I've been using since January. Seems like the...

    Egnater Mod Sell-Off?

    Think we'll see an influx of Egnater modules hit the used market once the Synergy-era stuff starts rolling out? Seems like mods are few and far between on Ebay, Reverb and the forums lately. Just wondering if folks are holding on to them until they see new stuff is actually going to make it to...

    Egnater mods: gain pot PCB

    Been modding my SL2 and VX modules lately, and here's one thing I've noticed: on both modules, they use 1M pots for gain on BOTH channels. The pots are mounted to a board, the only other parts being two resistors (R1 and R2). Since the pots are the same, do those resistors control the amount...

    JF Foglifter: MOD50 reviews?

    Reading more and more about the Jaded Faith Foglifter, and the (overwhelming) consensus seems to be that it is the proverbial 'blanket removed from my amp'-type difference. Thinking about it for my MOD50, but all of the reviews seem to be for the MTS amps. Anybody installed/using a Foglifter in...

    WTB: Egnater EG3/4 dual module

    Looking for an Egnater EG3/4 dual module. Don't want anything beat-up/gigged to death, but if you've got one in excellent shape that you're looking to sell, PM me. Thanks,

    M4 output and RT2/50 input: line level?

    Is it true that the output of the M4 and input of the RT2/50 are both line level jacks? (i.e. not 'instrument level' like effect unit input/outputs) Haven't read anything about that in the manual for either unit, but they are slim on info as it is. If so, what I/O devices can I use to loop in...

    RT2/50 (and M4) Preamp tubes

    I've never owned an amp that was as sensitive to tube changes as this setup. Not referring to the preamp tubes in the Egnater modules themselves (haven't swapped any of those out yet), but the 12AX7s in the RT2/50 and the two that are in the back of the M4. Here's the rundown: I started...

    Another RT2/50 issue

    I think I'm coming to the conclusion that the RT2/50 is a bit finicky? Seems like has been working fine for about a week, but after about 5min of playing, the sound cuts out drastically and gets more distorted (gated/distorted, like a misbiased transistor in a distortion pedal?) I put it on my...

    RT2/50 humming (not buzzing)

    Just started getting a low-pitched hum (not buzzy) that gets louder as I turn up the volume on my RT2/50. I still get a signal and can play, but have to keep the volume lower on the RT2/50 to minimize the hum. I just installed new power tubes and will swap in some older ones to see if that...

    RT2/50 question (new member)

    Hi, I just got a used RT2/50 a couple of weeks ago to run with my Egnater M4. Since the PDF manual for the RT2/50 is a bit sparse on details (or pics, for that matter), I have a couple of questions some of you might be able to fill me in on. 1) How are you M4 (or RM) guys setting your volume...
