Rare Bogner Ecstasy 25 Head

[santellavision1]

I was searching for a while to find one of these Rare amps. Worth the wait! It's the illusive, mysterious amp that Reinhold only made a few of. The Ecstasy 25. Not the 3534 which I bought and didn't like. The channels didn't match very well. This one is based on the Ecstasy 100 watt head. This smaller version did the Ecstasy thing, but had even more features. 3 Channels with 2 different voicings, Plexi and the original Ecstasy high-gain. It had me at Plexi. Plus, another other Dynamic voicing switch for a classic or modern feel. Add to that, a Boost for all channels, an EFX Loop, an XLR cab simulated out with different cab tones and a power soak when no cab is plugged-in. Best part, it’s in a small, lighter size head.

Just flat out a killer amp in a nice light-weight package. And, I got it in the Comet Tolex box.

Yes cool little amp. I had one of the first ones made. Number 11. Tons fun and really kicked ass for an EL84 little amp. It was made in some sort of short lived venture between Bogner and Zuta amps.

Tonedog, thanks for the info! Question. Chicken/egg thing... Did Reinhold design/voice it or Baskim Zuta?

I dont remember but I know that they both had a hand in it. I believe the first 25 all said Bogner. I had mine modded by Reinhold when I first got it. I used it on some gigs and thought it sounded really good.

Mine is #45 and it has the Bogner labeling.

I had one myself. The Bogner version. I don’t think anything changed when it switched to Zuta. Def a cool amp. Congrats!
