I have a 2002 Dual Rec that I'll never part with. It's modified and sounds incredible. It's got a charm all it's one and just sounds huge and complex. I love that I can sculpt it so well with a boost or OD. Love that about those old DRs. Not a big fan of the Mark series amps however

Are you still loving your Splawn or Splawns? Not sure how many you have. I've been wanting a Nitro for quite some time. It's more my thing than the Quick rod although both are amazing. I don't know how much they have changed in recent years with circuit design, etc....so I'm never sure which...

My current favorite amp is my Revv Generator Mk III with EL34s. I've owned and played some amps you have mentioned. I like Bogner and only have a 20th Shiva right now from Bogner. I played a Splawn Nitro and I thought it was much nicer than the Bogner XTC and Friedman BE-50 Dlx I played. Nitro...

Very cool! I have fairly old ears too, lol. I started playing in 1986/87. I am going to give the H75s another go. The closest I have to a Marshall is my Bogner 20th Anniversary Shiva. A lot of people think of them as dark amps but with the EQ, I can make it as bright as I like. I may be...

Sorry, I wasn't implying you like overly bright tones. We are using different amps and have different tastes and how we dial in our gear impacts this. That said, I'm looking to give the H75s another go. It's been a while since I've used them. I may leave my Bogner 412 Redback/V30 and replace the...

Too bright for my ears but if like to see how they blend with the Redbacks. Redback/V30 is phenomenal but I may have to do one RB/H75. Thanks.

So guys, I've been running both of my 412 cabs with Redbacks/V30s. One is a Splawn straight and one is a Bogner tilted baffle 412 that is a bit larger than my Splawn. I love that speaker combination but would you all consider it too redundant having same speakers in two 412 cabs. I can't come...

Napalmdeath, Have you ever tried a Shiva 20th Anniversary? That's the one Bogner I own. I tend to prefer 100 watt heads and my feels similar to a 100 watt head, even though it'd a two KT88 (90w) head. I'm curious if the Ecstacy 50 had that muscle of a larger 100 watt head? Bogner says it...

Awesome. I'm fine adding saturation or push with a pedal. Thank you. Do you have a lot of 100 watt heads? They tend to have more muscle and grunt. Bogner claims they got the 50 to have the muscle and feel of a 100. Do you find this to be somewhat true?

Thanks for the great review. I have always wanted a Bogner Ecstacy and this is the only one I could really sort of afford. I was also looking at Orange and Friedman amps. Bogner says they got the XTC 50 watt to have the muscle and feel of their 100 watt heads. Is that true? I do also like to...

Thank you for the advice. I am looking at the Bogner Ecstacy 3534 50 watt, Friedman BE-50 Deluxe and Friedman Runt.

How are the crunch tones? Metal is only a small part of my playing. Does this head handle other styles well, clean to crunch?

So honestly guys would it be silly for me to have two cabs with Redback/V30? One is a larger Bogner tilt front cab and the other is a slightly smaller Splawn straight front. It's basically a variation of the classic Greenback/V30. It's my favorite blend over all others. My Creamback, CL80s and...

I like the M65 but for my tastes, the Redback is better - for me personally. Redback and Creamback H-75 work well but to me Redback/UK V30 is perfect. On its own I find the V30 punchier and cbunkier than the H75. Like them all. I already have RB/V30, which is why I was so close to doing RB/H75...

It's funny because I have friends who have ever used V30s, mostly T75s in Marshall cans for gigs and sound amazing live. Yet, when we do speaker tests at gone, V30s mixed in some way, always seem to work best. I don't like all V30s, although I have done that successfully. I just prefer ablnd of...
