Like four separate amps in one head.

Each of the Tourmaster 4100 amp head's channels has an identical set of controls, but that is where the similarities end.

Clean/Vintage 1 is the cleanest of the four. Within this channel lives a range of Classic tones ranging from pristine sparkle with the voicing switch set to MODERN to a punchy, aggressive drive (think clean JTM) in the CLASSIC mode. Pressing the button to activate the CONTOUR control opens an entire new range of beautiful clean, almost acoustic, tones not often found in a tube amplifier.

Clean/Vintage 2 has a very similar voicing to the Clean/Vintage 1 channel. This channel has more gain, so it can be pushed into mild overdrive. Sweet blues and classic rock tones are easily coaxed out of this channel. The contour knob adds another level of unique flavors.

Overdrive 1: From AC/DC crunch to modern rock, this channel covers a lot of bases all by itself. Dial down the gain and the feel is pure classic rock. Push the gain and enter into more modern, saturated territory. Scoop the mids with the CONTOUR control for monstrous metal or set it for classic British rhythm.

Overdrive 2: The Tourmaster's most intense channel, you'll find ferocious gain with a wide range of tones to suit the '80s shredder as well as the heaviest modern metal player. Scoop the mids with the powerful CONTOUR control for massive crunch or push the midrange for a solo tone that cuts through with serious authority.

Power Grid: This is a really cool feature you will only find on the Egnater Tourmaster amps. Using a group of 5 slide switches on the rear panel, you can set the power output for each channel individually. There is a 3-position slide switch corresponding to each of the four channels and a single FULL POWER/ HALF POWER slide switch. In FULL POWER mode, you can choose between 100w, 50w or 25w per channel. In the HALF POWER mode, you can between choose 50w, 25w or 10w per channel.

With the Tourmaster 4100 amp head, you not only have a wide array of tones available from the preamp channels, but with the Power Grid you can introduce any amount of power tube distortion you wish to each channel: all preset, all automatic.

Great sounding amp with some build issues

Firstly, I must say that this amp is one of the best sounding tone machines I've heard.  Correctly dialed in, it can produce anything from California to England both in terms of clean and down right nasty.  The tone is nothing short of beautiful.  I purchased this amp from GC on clearance.  Great price, but had some problems.  I sent the amp to Egnater for repair (great warranty).  They fixed most of the problems, but missed a problem with a low level static that sometimes became ferocious, completely taking over the tone and volume.  I called them and they payed return shipping.  They replaced all of the tubes (12 in total) as a effort to fix the problem.  They believe (maybe too much) that tubes fix most all problems with static.  They reported that they never heard the problem, but re-tubed it to satisfy my complaint.  They sent it back with problem intact.  They never followed my instructions in order to find and diagnose the problem, thus they never found it.  This is my only complaint with Egnater.  They don't really listen well to the customer.  They forced me to pay to return the amp and show them the problem.  Fortunately, I live within driving distance to their facility.  I showed them the problem in 2 minutes.  They tried to argue that it was tubes, but after a complete tube replacement that was highly unlikely.  In the end, I walked out with a new amp.  Customer satisfied, but not without stress and having to force them to listen.  The new amp sounds great and no problems so far.  If you buy and need repair in warranty, be prepared to fight if need be.

I have owned mine for over a year, I had a problem early on with overdrive one channel that caused a significant loss of volume and drive. there was also a low level hum coming from the power tranny. I had to pay to ship the amp to a service tech that Egnater recommended. I got the amp back and was told it need to have a bad tranny replaced, the hum was gone, but the OD 1 channel still had the same problem. Egnater stepped up  and paid the shipping cost to have the amp reserviced at there shop and they found a potentiometer that needed to be replaced. Since then I have had no problems and I truly enjoy the many options this amp offers for adjusting tone and running the amp at different power levels. I never tire of experimenting with the endless potential it has.

Let me start off by saying that I have had this amplifier for two years and I have had the time to put it through its paces.  After over a 72 5 hour shows, dozens of rehearsals, and two full length records later it needs to visit the amp tech for servicing.  To me that is quality.  I have owned several amps over the years (Mesa Boogie Strategy rack series, Bugera 333XL, Mesa Dual Rectifier Tremoverb, Soldano SLO, Fender, etc. ) and the Egnater never ceases to amaze me. The first thing that I need to stress about this amp is it has the best clean tone on the market today.  It is harmonically rich with a smooth character that is like a fine whiskey.  I stacked it up to a vintage 1970's Fender Super Six which, with it's six ten inch speakers and fantastic all tube circuit provides an iconic and delicious tone which is to die for.  The Tourmaster spanked it hands down.  No joke.  The Egnater's clean sounds better than a coveted, vintage Fender amp.  On clean vintage 2 I can nail great vintage crunch tones, rockabilly, classic rock, and that elusive Marshall Plexi tone with ease.  Overdrive One puts you into the modified JCM 800 arena and can dish out singing overtones with string definition and clarity.  OD channel 2 is a little bit more of an enigma... it is more like an SLO with more balls... great lead tone.  The contour feature on each channel is great although I rarely use them.  A warning to the metal heads out there... if you are looking for a high gain beast to make your guitar sound like a duffel bag of cats going through a wood chipper, this amp isn't for you.  The gain structure is very conservative.  I play high energy original hard rock, along the lines of Guns N Roses/Nickelback/etc and it fits the bill perfectly.

My Egnater Tourmaster 4100 Amp has been plagued with problems.  It has never been dependable. It Constantly blew internal and external fuses.  The sound comes and goes and even plays by itself without a cord plugged in it. Egnater was helpful at first and then switched on us.  It was a bad purchase and I will never buy Egnater brand equipment again.  Maybe you will have better luck.

I've had this Tourmaster 4100 head (with the matching 2X12 cab) for about 10 months now and just love it. There's such a variety of tones that you can eek out of this thing. I play a variety of stuff (classic rock, 80's rock/metal, contemporary praise and worship) and this thing handles them all with ease. (I will say that this is probably not an amp for modern metal, though.) The one thing I don't find that useful is the contour function, but I don't need it to get the tones I want. The power grid feature is awesome. You can really get some good power tube saturation going at the lower setting. But don't expect a huge drop in volume. It doesn't work that way. Do keep in mind that this thing is VERY heavy. However, my Mesa Mark IV head weighed just as much. A tip - Try cranking the channel volume all the way up and using the gain as the channel volume. This will give you more power tube saturation and can create some nice tones.
