Egnater Tweaker 40 Guitar Amp (Gear Review)

After having spent a couple of weeks with this amp, I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with this little guy. This was my first prolonged experience with what I would consider a “low-watt” amp so upon purchasing it, I was a bit nervous that it wouldn’t push the amount of air that I wanted it to. I could not have been more wrong! Although there are no actual numbers to indicate what level the master volume is set at, I can barely get it past 2 (or where 2 would be on most amps) without jarring everything in the studio. However it still manages to stay “tight” at loud volumes, without getting too boomy or muddy in the lower midrange like a lot of amps do. Likewise, even at low volumes, it still sound great. It still retains that fat tube saturation that every guitar player loves. This allows you to perfect your tone and enjoy it even at “bedroom practice” volumes.

This amp has two channels with a shared EQ stage that can be switch between USA, Brit, and AC, which essentially means “do you want a Fender, Marshall, or Vox tone?”. Each channel is the exact same; there’s no dedicated clean, lead, or crunch channel as is the standard on a lot of modern amps. Instead, each channel can be whatever you want to be! For each channel you have a master volume, a gain know and 4 switches that allow you to tweak your tone, as the name implies. The 4 switches are as listed below:

Tight/Deep - cleans up the low end when “tight” is engaged. Sounds great especially for high gain applications. “Deep” is more appropriate for low range resonant cleans.

Bright/Normal - Simply adds a bit of high end sparkle when “bright” is engaged.

Mid Cut/Normal - A mid-range frequency cut to help give you that famous Fender clean tone and mid-scooped rock sound. I’m generally not a big fan of scooping mids, but something about it on this amp sounds great, especially paired with the “tight” setting. I know it sounds contradictory but but boosting the mids at the EQ stage and then engaging the mid cut produces an interesting but pleasing EQ curve that boast a nice prominent mid-range without getting too “honky” sounding.

Hot/Clean - “Hot” adds a lot more gain and “clean” is exactly what it sounds like.

With all of those settings to adjust, there’s almost nothing that the Tweaker 40 can’t do for you. Granted, for metal, you would definitely need the help of a quality OD pedal to help you reach levels of gain that this amp can’t. The only tonal option that it really lacks is a built in reverb. But to be fair, for most studio applications, you would add a virtual reverb in your DAW, and for live situations, you can find plenty affordable reverbs that generally sound better than the stock reverbs built into most amps.

It’s also worth noting that I’m currently running this amp through a Hughes & Kettner 2x12 cab with Celestion v30′s. Not to detract from the amp, but it’s possible that a significant portion of the sounds I’m getting from this thing could be because of the quality of the cab I’m using.

My overall opinion regarding this amp is positive. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing with it and while switching between specific tones in a live situation may prove to be difficult, dialing in the perfect tone in a studio is almost effortless with amp. With so many options, there’s bound to something for every guitar player with this little guy. For $599 brand new, I’s day this amp is a pretty good deal. Pair it with a good overdrive and your favorite reverb/delay pedal and you can achieve just about any tone your heart desires!
