It's been a week of heavy use - The Bogner 3534 50 watt IS LEGIT!

Wasn't quick, and wasn't because I didn't like it.

Well you posted it up for sale a month after your review, that seems quick to me

I have an older 101b and im finding it to be what I wanted out of the 5150 iterations. Pissed off mids, more complex. It can also get very brutal with a boost.

I prefer the 101b to the uberschall for metal in my limited experience so far.

Im not sure how the new one compares to the older one but im sure they are very simular

Interesting to find the Bogner more angry and better than the 5150 series for you.
Good to hear.
I've often thought I'd like an EVH 5150III Stealth one day as a thick, chunky, smooth EL34 head.
I'm a Bogner fan but always think it's cool to try other brands to add to the stable.
Would be fun to do a side by side on these two.

Nah he sold it pretty quickly lol

Why was it sold?

I've owned a couple 101b's and a 3534 35 watt.... Spent a few hours with the 50 watt version and it was a completely different amp than the 35. The 50 will hang in a loud band no problem. Always amazed at the comments about how much more massive the bottom end is in some of the 100 watt amps regardless of brand ABC. That's great and its undeniable, but whaddayagonna do as soon as its out of the house and on a stage in a mix and everybody is telling you to turn the bass down because you're stepping all over the actual bass player and fucking up the mix ?

The 3534 50 watt is killer, I would buy one in a moment at the right price.

That's a great point about low end.
I am fine with a 50 war head.
I did have issues with my EL34 Shiva being too polite and lacking aggression, but that's it.

Yeah the Shivas I had needed the presence way up and that solved that. For sure its one of those use your ears instead of the eyes things (wouldn't normally turn the presence u that high)

Nice, and it handle itself against other aggressive British amps?
Would like to check out a Splawn Nitro, 5150 Stealth and Bogner XTC 50.
