New Egnater Modules

[wesarvin]

That would be a cool idea for switching.

I'd rather see some collaboration with the modders though. The voicing is already pretty good, but these modders have tweaked things to perfection. Modular is such a great concept and I'd love to see it marketed well and thrive.

Would it be cool if we added a switch to be able to select either channel for use with Randall single channel amps or RM4? This would make it so you can use either one of the Egnater dual channel sounds with your Randall gear. You would still NOT be able to switch on both channels of the dual modules from the foot pedal or with MIDI but you could preset either one of the channels to be used.

That would be a great addition! I cant wait to see what you come up with.

Very cool, can't wait to see what's in store for the mts stuff.

YES! Because I own a couple of the Randall's, it didn't make sense to buy an Egnater 2 channel module because I can only use one of them. If I have access to both channels, then yes!!!

100% great news that the modular line will continue - it's way too good to be allowed to wither on the vine.

Great that Egnater will be doing some more stuff soon
Great that Bruce is happy to do some new modules now

Great that we have modders making a difference already and that there is still room for this line to grow in interesting ways

 

[bruce egnater]

OK. Done. This group will have the voicing and single/dual switch.

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

That's an excellent idea Bruce.. two modules in one. So will there be changes to the offerings of the past and a whole new line aimed at getting your standard plexi's, soldano's, JCM etc? OR are we talking about minor tweaks to old designs. In most cases, minor tweaks produce the most kick *** of results!

 

[Mattfig]

Great stuff Bruce!

Any thoughts on doing mods based on your amps like Armageddon and Renegade?

Bruce...this is a fantastic idea. I sold almost all my Dual Channel'ers when I had to let go the M4....being able to switch on the Randall amps would be killer.

Loving the return of the mid-range switch too!

Bruce, small suggestion in regards to the new modular line:

I'd *strongly* recommend approaching Anthony from Salvation Mods and Rob from Jaded Faith mods (if you haven't already) in regards to having them potentially assist in the development of new modules for the new line. They have already done SO much to continue to develop and innovate the line when Randall all but abandoned it. It's because of them (and the other modders) that most of us have continued to support and spend so much money on the MTS line. If you could get them into the fold, and the new line was marketed properly, I don't imagine there would be any result but success for everyone involved

This is so true- Both Tony/Rob have kept the fires burning with this line!! I honestly have never been happier with my tone or more excited than this week (after many years at a professional level) after getting my hands on Rob/Tony's finest modules. (Salvado Dlx and Platinum RR) Wouldnt that be something to see them team up with Bruce Egnater for some modules?? WOW.

Bruce, this is a great idea!!

For the new modules, perhaps you could look at different switching too. Instead of 2 channels maybe a voicing change or something else interesting.

I think this would be a cool idea. Any chance the 30/60 1U rack poweramp is coming to fruition.

2 questions about Egnater coming back to modular..

1. is how long .I think this will be very important to if the line stays alive especially in light of how long Randall has let it go .Truthfully I am with everyone here that if the modders had not kept pushing new designs it would have died off a long time ago .
So when we say its coming back is that in the summer ,Namm 2013 that makes a difference.

2 .And I am sure no one wants to address , this one. And I am not trying to turn this into a nasty thread .The question is will the modders be able to continue working and coexist with Egnater or will they be served with a cease and desist if their product if cutting into the new Egnater lines ....
Again I like Bruce a lot and his stuff ,I like Anthony and Jaded but business is business

I'm not sure legally Bruce would have a "leg" to stand on. Really all the modders are doing, is what others have done to Marshalls for years, just tweaking &/or upgrading the components. They are not producing the complete modules. I don't see the modders cutting into Egnater's profits either, as they (or us) need to get donor modules from somewhere. What I suspect will happen is the modules will be for sale but not directly to the modders (recent Randall deals), which means we will pay full market price (new) or come across the newer modules on the used market eventually.

Theoretically what we are doing is no different than what others have done since the dawn of amps: modifying an existing base platform. Voodoo Amps does if on every platform known to man and think of all the shops that tune cars. It's a modification service.

 

[m0jo]

Very simply, every mod needs a donor. So there is no loss to Egnater/Randall.
On the other hand, looking at recent Eggie amps, I think Bruce can def. cook stuff up that doesn't "need" modding by a long shot.

 

[Anomaly]

Any plans for an oversea's version of MOD50? It would be cool if Bruce could include the power grid section of egnater tourmaster.

LOL! Really? No cease and desist is even remotely possible here. Literally hundreds of amp/pedal modders out there!

I agree with the amp mods yes tons of guys doing that ..nothing new BUT here the thing how many amp companies have modular amps???
Keep in mind Randall never owned the patent they Bought the "Licence" from Bruce .When that "licence expires or is revoked what happens.
None of us really can comment on this unless we know exactly what Bruce has patents for and what can be considered infringement operating without a licence .

Bruce said a long time ago he would never make a Bogner .Deizel ,Soldano out of respect for those companies and his ethical views ..So if he is the GUY who OWNS the modular patents to think that he could not stop people to some extent may be a bit naive

Not sure I am getting your point. . ..I could see an issue if someone had PC boards coming in from China and manufactured his own line MTS modules from scratch for use with Eggies/Randalls but this is modification. Totally different.
