Front Panel Controls - Egnater Renegade 112 Owner's Manual

1) GUITAR INPUT: Plug your guitar in
here using a high quality, shielded instru-
ment cable.
2) CHANNEL SELECT: The push-
button switch to select CHANNEL 1 or
CHANNEL 2.
NOTE: This switch is disabled when
using the footswitch.
3) CHANNEL 1 - 65/18 SWITCH:
This toggle switch allows you to preset
the power for CHANNEL 1 to either 65
watts for maximum headroom and clarity
or switch down to 18 watts for a somewhat
softer attack and feel. This is cool if you
are looking for a little more power amp
breakup. Keep in mind, 18 watts can still
be quite loud. Read the TECH NOTES
later in this manual for an in depth expla-
nation of WATTS vs.VOLUME.
4) CHANNEL 1 TIGHT / DEEP
SWITCH: This switch is really useful for
tightening up the low end, especially when
pushing the gain. It works by cutting the
deep bass at the beginning of the preamp.
Setting the TIGHT switch up will result in
a clearer, tighter tone. Down retains a full,
big low end that is great for a really robust,
fat rhythm sound.
5) CHANNEL 1 BRIGHT/NORMAL
SWITCH: As expected, the up (BRIGHT)
setting boosts the high end. Do experi-
ment with different combinations of the
BRIGHT on and TREBLE knob down
compared to the BRIGHT off and the
TREBLE up. You will find that with the
BRIGHT on and the TREBLE down, the

tone will be a little less midrangy com-
pared to the BRIGHT off and the TREBLE
turned up.
6) CHANNEL 1 ON LED: Tells you
CHANNEL 1 is active.
7) CHANNEL 1 GAIN: This controls
the amount a "drive" in the CLEAN chan-
nel. Low settings of the GAIN knob (with
higher settings of the VOLUME knob) will
keep the sound big, full and beautiful. You
can also use higher settings of the GAIN
knob to push the channel into overdrive to
get some really raucous rock & roll crunch
tones.
8) CHANNEL 1 TONE CONTROLS:
This channel features the familiar passive
tone control designs of many revered clas-
sic tube amps. Dial in beautiful, pristine
clean sounds to bold, powerful overdrive
tones. Don't hesitate to turn the knobs.
You'll find a vast array of stellar sounds.
9) CHANNEL 1 TUBE MIX: A super
cool Egnater feature. Inside the REN-
EgADE you will find a pair of 6L6/5881
tubes AND a pair of EL34 power tubes.
This knob allows you to select a tone with
a more "British bark" by rotating the knob
all the way to the EL34 side. Setting the
knob full counterclockwise brings out the
more "American" character of the 6L6
tubes. But wait, there's more. You can
BLEND the two tube types in any propor-
tion you desire giving you a tonal range
not found anywhere else.
10) CHANNEL 1 VOLUME: Adjust the
loudness of CHANNEL 1.
®
11) CHANNEL 2 - 65/18W SWITCH:
Same as on CHANNEL 1. This toggle
switch allows you to preset the power for
CHANNEL 2 to either 65 watts for maxi-
mum headroom and clarity or switch down
to 18 watts for a somewhat softer attach
and feel. This is cool if you are look-
ing for a little more power amp breakup.
Keep in mind, 18 watts can still be quite
loud. Read the TECH NOTES later in
this manual for an in depth explanation of
WATTS vs.VOLUME.
12) CHANNEL 2 TIGHT/DEEP
SWITCH: This switch is really useful for
tightening up the low end, especially when
pushing the gain. It works by cutting the
deep bass at the beginning of the high gain
preamp. Setting the TIGHT switch up will
result in a clearer, tighter tone. Setting the
switch to DEEP will create a fuller, fatter
tone but can tend to get a little muddy with
high gain settings, especially with hum-
bucking type pickups.
13) CHANNEL 2 BRIGHT/NORMAL
SWITCH: As expected, the up (BRIGHT)
setting boosts the high end. Do experi-
ment with different combinations of the
BRIGHT on and TREBLE knob down
compared to the BRIGHT off and the
TREBLE up. You will find that with the
BRIGHT on and the TREBLE down, the
tone will be a little less midrangy com-
pared to the BRIGHT off and the TREBLE
turned up.
14) CHANNEL 2 ON LED: Tells you
CHANNEL 2 is active.
