Big Arm Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 my Epiphone Dot Deluxe Flame-top is being shipped. I used the ups tracking, but it just said the billing info had been sent. I imaging the shipping will actually occur tomorrow. Now I need to sell my Les Paul to upgrade my amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Arm Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Sorry, no problem! I am excited! Just want to upgrade my amp, so need to sell a couple of things. I can't seem to stop buying stuff, so maybe that is a problem! I am thinking of the Egnater Rebel 20 amp. Anyone used one? It seems like it could be very versatile if it works the way the maker claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when you get that dot post some pics!! I don't really know about the amp but I'm sure someone here does. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyushPresley Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Egnater Rebel 20 watt is a pretty good variable (it can be used as a 20watt or take it down to 1watt) amp. It uses two pairs of power tubes...one pair is EL84 and the other is 6v6 or 6l6 (forgot) and you can also mix the tubes in the amp it self... I don't own one but have played one of my friends and it's really good. doesn't that cost something about 600$ or upwards and i guess it's just for the Amps head.. anyway it sounds very good .. worthed !!

The ER Rebel, 1-20w variable uses 6v6 & el84s...............with a 1x12 cab its about $850, add $200 if you prefer the 2x12 cab. You've actually played one? how is it? details man, details!!!!! I'm seriously concidering buying 1 myself. How was the tone/voicing? does the variance pot cause a REAL difference in tone? Does it keep the same tones as you dial the wattage down????

ef_in_fla Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 If you need to sell a Les Paul to get a better amp, I'd stick with the old amp for now. Unless you have a bunch of Les Pauls, or unless it's a junker, or if you have no possible way of getting the money otherwise. If it's a good one you'll end up regretting it. Just MHO.

Big Arm Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Well, it certainly is not a junker, but not a high end one either. It is a Gibson Vintage Mahogany Studio selling for $999 on MF. I like my ES-345 better and with a Dot for a guitar I can take to school and other places, I just have no real need for it. Not that need has ever really driven me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generation zero Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Definitely sell the Paul if it's one of those mahogany studio deals. I've never played one of those that was half as nice as a good epi Standard. This isn't a Gibson v. Epiphone thing, just that particular Gibson has to be the worst Paul Gibson has put out in recent years. I kinda felt like with that model in particular, they were preying on the demographic that really really want a Gibson, but just couldn't quite afford one...

I have made the mistake of selling a piece of gear to buy a new one. Unless you're really itching to get rid of the guitar, keep it and just save up a little longer. Otherwise you'll be kicking yourself once the honeymoon period fades away with the new amp. And I haven't personally played the Gibson lp studios, but I have heard more good than bad about them. You get what you pay for. You can't expect top-notch quaity Gibsons for 900 bucks new. No sub-$1,000 guitar will come ready to play right out of the box either; they all need at least slight set-up.
