    Sorry for reviving old thread :). Did anyone compared Engl 4x12 Vintage and Pro cabs? Do they sound similar or not?

    High end shrill on the 101B...

    Put Sovtek LPS in V1 and/or in PI. The shrill should be gone and Bogner chewyness should be back :)

    Bogner Bias for XTC 101B

    I always kept mine around 31-32, but recently lowered to 27-28. The change is subtle but hearable, the tone became a bit less compressed, thus a bit more open. Seems like tubes have more "breathe" with that setting. Same impression while lower a bias a bit in my other amps (Engl Invader...

    Modding my XTC :)

    I have just return from the Marvel Amps HQ with my modded XTC. Totally new amp! The essential change was removing all polypropylene coupling and tone caps for dirty channels and replacing them with TAD/Mojo Dijon polyester film-to-foil caps. Man, WHAT A CHANGE!! The amp is now hairy, aggressive...

    Two basically identical Marshall 1960A cabs->different sound

    Hi! Imagine two 1960A cabs from the same year (1996), so same speakers, same internal cables, same wood, aprox. same playing time, everything is totally the same. But both sound totally different. One is very bright and in-front sounding, and the other is dark and dull, very muffled and muddy...

    XTC Structure Mod

    Hi! Some time ago I started to feel Structure circuit a bit too muddy. I liked what it made with tone generally but I felt that the cap let too much bass go through. I was told by Charlie that the cap in the Structure circuit is 1.5uF tantalum. Inspired by the Splawn QuickRod I tried several...

    Weird issue - XTC produces bell-like dings when knocked

    Hi! Yesterday we worked with Marvel on Structure Mod (detail soon) and found out that Sovtek LPS in V1 (which I like in that position) rings and dings as hell when we knocked the tube itself, but also the chassis or front panel. We thought that the tube went microphonic and replaced it with...

    XTC R19 gain mod to Blue & Red

Some time ago in this topic: http://bognerampforum.informe.com/mods- ... hlight=r19 Brent wrote about certain mod for XTC's Blue and Red Channel: "This will give it more gain in the mids on all lead channels including the plexi channel. In plexi mode its going to be classic marshall crunch...

    Mercury Magnetics OT's - need to replace and need an advice

    Hi! I think about replacing OT in my amp and think about two Mercury Magnetics output transformers: MMO-PX-100 and MMO-100C. Both are designed for hi-gain applications, but PX-100 is described as right for highest gain amps. The goal is to remove the "blanket" effect (the amp sounds like the...

    New EVH Wolfgang pickups

    Hi! Have anybody tried new EVH Wolfgang pickups? I assume they are produced by Fender, but how their tone would be compared to pickups from Peavey Wolfgang Guitars or Frankenstein pickups? Regards, Andy :)
