Well it depends on what you are after.
Michael Wagener (Spell?) is recording the latest Skid Row album (Among countless others) and he's a big MTS user. He feels the Randall are better for the heavy stuff and the Egnater stuff is more for rock and blues.
I own 10 modules (+1 I sold), one of them is an Egnater SL, the rest are all Randall. I compared the Egnater to the SL+, Plexi, and Brown I had lying around and it is most DEFINETLY something different. Almost a completely different amp. Hard to believe but true IME. The Egnater is Bigger and Rounder without quite as much presence. To me is sounded "More amp like" it REALLY feels like a head with that module. I am constantly on the lookout for EGGIES and when I have the cash I pick them up!
The 1086 IMO is an EXACT cross between the Egnater and Randall sound.
Cheers NST! That's basically what I needed to know. I have the choice of going with a used M-4 or a new RM-4, both loaded with their respective brands' modules, and since I'm not into heavy music as such I think I'll go with the Eggie. It will break my budget a bit, but I guess in the long run I will have fewer regretts that way.
Dude, NO DOUBT go with the EGGIE if you have the chance. Plus the resalse value of a used Eggie is near 100%(When Bought used) Where Randall (When Bought New) is between 50-60% IME. MUCH Better investment. Since you'll have the M4 chassis and it works with Randall moduels, Pick up some Randys on the used market for near half the price and you'll know right away which you prefer. Even if you decied you like the randalls better (Unlikely IMO, ESPECIALLY if you're doing Classic Rock/ blues!) Just about every one comes up often enough on the bay to snag a few on the cheapness.
PS if you ever decide to get rid of ANY of the EGGIE modules, don't forget to PM ME! 8)
