When Bogner designed the XTC the blue and red channels were not designed to be remotely the same on purpose. He designed the amp so that you had a dinner plate of various different styles of gain and you use what you prefer. I much prefer blue boosted over red anyday - it’s not even a contest how much tighter and larger the amp sounds while also being the easiest amp to play on the planet with Bogner chewiness that’s addictive. The red doesn’t have near those qualities because it’s a 5 gain stage channel and is loosely based on a modded SLO. The blue is loosely based on a modded 2203.What
What in the XTC is SLO- like? Do you refer to the red channel or boosted blue?
are the circuits similar somehow? i've owned 3 101bs, 2 SLOs and 2 Mezzabarbas and the only similarity I’ve found is between the blue ch and the rhythm channels with the mid sweetness sitting on different frequencies between the 2. Lower in the Bog, higher in the SlO and derivatives.
the only think that sounds like the SLO and feels like the 101b is my 2c+ SRGX, kinda..
asking bc i find myself looking for another SLO or SLO AIB to have with my 101b..
