Overdrive Distortion
OS-2 OverDrive / Distortion [BOSS Sound Check]
Egnater Renegade Amps
Growing up in Detroit, Michigan, Bruce Egnater was in his prime when Bob Seger, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, and Grand Funk Railroad (pretty impressive!) were playing regular gigs in town.
Surrounded by music and musicians of legendary status, in 1969, as Bruce puts it, “two new groups came along that changed my world”. there are only two cats he could be talking about, Jimi Hendrix and Cream.
With this history and a passion for getting the perfect balance in an amp that gave great distortion AND great clean sound, he set out on a journey to produce his own custom made amps.
These modular tube amps are often seen as revolutionary when compared to the norm, does that matter?….absolutely not, especially with that unforgettable Egnater tone!
The Egnater Renegade 112 All tube combo is an absolute powerhouse!
This thing is known for its power and I assure you it delivers!
The Egnater Renegade 112 certainly delivers power, but in addition to this, it also delivers a high degree of versatility, something I did not expect. Producing three dimensional tones with great crunch in the first channel, the second fools you with a sweet beginning, with an overdrive worthy of a great blues amp, but when really given some, opens up a heavy harmony based distortion that gets the true enthusiast a little over excited!
Both channels have independent 3-band EQ and with the bright and tight switches, the diversity and complexity of what you can get out of this amp is truly remarkable.
Bruce and the whole Egnater family have done amazingly well with the Egnater Renegade, it has a look straight out of Detroit, and closing my eyes, it feels like travelling back in time with Bruce as a teenager sneaking into Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop gigs!
The verdict - not surprisingly, the Egnater team have delivered a deceptively strong combo amp with more than you bargain for! For more reviews, visit Amp Critic.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Is distortion or overdrive better for general rock on guitar?
I have a silvertone amp that has overdrive and i would like to know what the difference between overdrive and distortion is, which is better for tube amps, which one for regular, which one for pedals, and a general knowledge of those terms before i would want to buy any pedals or amps or whatnot.
Answer:
Strictly speaking, it's all distortion, but as guitarists we usually say that overdrive is lighter and doesn't have as much gain applied as "distortion", and certainly not as much as "metal" or "fuzz".
For both tube and solid state amps, the pedal used is determined by the amp's sonic characteristics. I mean, if I want a thick chunky grinding death metal sound, but my amp is a Fender Champ or something like that (lower-gain, great for blues) then I'm going to need a couple of pedals meant for that metal sound - a Boss MetalZone, or a Metal Muff. If my amp is a Mesa Boogie, then I can get away with a DS-1, a Tubescreamer, a Bad Monkey, or even just an EQ pedal (which I have done, btw).
The single best thing you can do is buy a good quality amp. A good amp is the foundation for good tone, and don't let anybody ever try to tell you otherwise. Solid state amps can give great tone (think Dimebag Darrell, all Randall solid state amps, or BB King) but in general tube amps sound better than solid state amps. Of course, they're more expensive.
You should always play before you buy, and try to play many different pedals and amps to get an idea of what you like before you even start thinking about which one you'll buy.
Good luck!
