Went to Guitar center while the wife was shopping, and came home with a new amp  LOL.  They had a new Egnater Tourmaster 4212 on the floor clearance priced at $999.  Normal price is $1,599.  I've played around with the smaller Eganters, and love the tube selection and wattage selector features on them.  Didn't like the overall price.  Plugged a strat into this bad boy, and was blown away!  4 channels (2 clean, 2 dirty) and all wattage selectable from 10 - 100watts.  Played for about a half hour and the manager came in to see what I thought.  Told him I liked it, but could justify the price right now so he knocked it down to $850 and I told the wife it followed me home  LOL.  Still love my hotrod deville, but this thing rocks.  Anyone else played one?

yeah they really are fantastic amps! Strats are made to go with this amp I think! lots of spank and twang.
 
Shares it's looks with the old Line6 Duoverb amps, which I loved. Major difference in the sound though, gorgeous amp imo.
 
I know a guy who plays one, sounds killer. Also they are made in MI, always nice to keep those dollars in the country. :rock-on:
 
Actually, they're just designed here. Mr. Egnator's shop is about 10 miles from my house. But, they're built in China. If they were built here, they'd cost $3K or $4K, like most "boutique" amps.
 
Damn, I am on a roll today, I just got schooled about strings on another thread. I thought he was still doing small run stuff out of his shop on 12 mile.
 
American labor is very expensive. You can pretty much be guaranteed that anything costing less than 3 or 4 grand is made somewhere in the Pacific Rim. Some companies are still trying to ride on their name and charging overblown prices, but players are gradually figuring it out. Behringer led the pack, and they're the ones who are keeping everybody else somewhat honest. But, there are still some holdouts who are pretending their gear is expensive to make when it's not.
 
YES I have tried one.  There was a couple of these at the music store where I worked before I became a full time student.  Anyway it was my go to amp when the store was quiet.  I almost bought one but I like my wife too much.
 
Just checked out the prices.

It's £1427 over here... that's $2343 !

I hate this country  :sad:

No offense, but when I see the words, "Swiss Army Knife Of T00b Tone" I just know something's
lacking... because you can't do it all with one t00b amp.

RIght you are. But, it doesn't stop providers from marketing things that way because there are a lot of consumers who think it's possible. Gotta give the people what they want, right? Luckily, amp characteristics and tone are largely subjective, so nobody's lying or being unreasonable. Santa Claus does exist, albeit only in one's imagination.
