Egnater amps

So I've been keeping a very close eye on these amps, and I've just been praying that someone brings them into the country so that I can try one in person. A...

Egnater amps

Only issue is voltage... Wonder if the ones they list work on 230v.

Hope this really changes the pedal market here.

I know the rebel20 is switchable, and I'd assume the other Egnaters are as well. It'll be in the spec list, I'm sure. Just found out I can buy the amp used, mint, and save a grand. So freaking tempting - even though I don't really have the cash right now.

You still can't buy some items, predictably, like Fender Strats, or Gibsons or whatever. But it certainly opens up the options. It also looks like they're using an exchange rate of about R10:USD$1

So although you don't pay shipping, you're still not quite getting US prices. Still an excellent option and much cheaper than buying locally. Pedal wise, tonefactor is better if you can get what you want there - because they use the official exchange rate and only charge $15 international shipping.

I did a cost comparison on a Vox Night Train and matching cab, Tuerk Retail is around R9,000+, GC is R4159.80 ALL in, to your door... so there are still deals to be had... but the biggest thing is opening up to brands formally unavailable to us.

No, I checked the price on the COMBO deal of HEAD & CAB, it is odd, buying them separately is a few grand more!

Please link me to this deal.

Thanks

The 4 grand one is the lil Night Train isn't it?

MikeM

Yep pretty sure. I guess Matta just didn't read my post.

Sucks that we can't order gibson. What about Matchless or bogner amps? I can only check tonight. Do they stock boutique stuff?

MikeM

Matchless you order from Matchless ?

I did, I was clearly ill informed in that I didn't realize there were 2 DIFFERENT night trains (palm slap!)

MikeM

Which is why I posted both ? . A friend contacted GC and the final price would be close to R8700, R2k over the R6700 list. Not sure about the details but that's what he told me.

That was me. It's basically 6.7k list and then plus R1000 or so for shipping, and the rest is VAT - if you go to checkout it automatically works it all out for you. The head alone would probably be cheaper and worth it.

Matchless actually have a SA dealer in CT, I shudder to think what it would cost.
GC have a Budda and a Bogner or two, but pricey.
