Picked up a new (er, new to me) amp module a few weeks ago... an old-school (single-channel) Egnater B'MAN. I've never played a real Bassman, never owned the Randall Tweed module when I had my MTS rig a couple of years ago, so I really didn't know what to expect. But I was in need of a second clean module... the T/D has been great, but I was getting tired of constantly switching it between the M4 and RM50.
I thought (hoped) the B'MAN would make a great compliment to the T/D, and it certainly has... while the Twin is more of a "crisp, dry" clean (not sterile, but almost), the B'MAN is a bit warmer, fatter, & grittier--it's amazing for single-note lead work. I've been using it in the RM50, paired with both the SL2 and COD modules. At this point, I expect the B'MAN will become a standard module for both rock and jazz gigs. Highly recommended! Makes me wonder what the second channel in the dual-channel B'MAN is like...
Too bad I was asleep at the wheel a couple weeks ago... I just missed out on picking up a used single-channel Egnater JTM module (which is one module that isn't available in the dual-channel format).
Now I just need to hunt me down some creme Egnater-style knobs so the B'MAN will match the rest of the modules I've got. :)
