Egnater

The best I've found is

and https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/fractal-audio-amp-models-jr-blues-fender-blues-junior.113925/

Use this model with no Damping (no Negative Feedback) to make it sound like an Egnater Rebel 20.

Cliff: "The Eggie is very similar to a Blues Jr. Basically the same preamp with some minor tweaks."
Unfortunaly, this advice won't work with FM3:
Setting the negative feedback on 0 for the Blues Jr is/was to my ears, pretty much a match for an Egnater Rebel 20. This amp also has two pairs of power tubes (EL84 and 6V6) that you can blend between. Making a second amp with 6V6 will accomplish that. Try different preamp tubes and undermatch the Xformer just a little to taste. I don't have the amp any more, so I can't compare how closely it matches up in Cygnus: but its a bit of satisfying fun playing in the FAS sandbox.

Thank you for the heads up on this Egnater/BJ cheat patch. Ive played Egnater Renegades live for about 10 years and this patch sounds pretty darn close.
 
In FAS land the output tube types don't change much, because you're going from one set of tubes perfectly matched to the output transformer to another perfectly matched to an output transformer, and the mismatch to the transformer is what causes most of the tone shift in the real world when changing tube type.

Luckily in the Fractal models you can adjust the transformer mistmach to any level you want, I'd expect playing with that would create similar effects as the power tube blend knob on the real amp did.
