New Bogner amp leaked- Snorkler 50

[Yehuda]

The instagram post got deleted, but saw this online - I also heard rumors of a Bogner Fish preamp rerelease

That one just made the list of amps I want but don't need but will buy anyway.

 

[technomancer]

Hopefully it's an actual release and not a short run for the store in Japan... but yeah that falls on the "will buy" list

If he would have made this back in the 90s, he'd have gotten thousands upon thousands of sales.

Looks like a Marshall how original lol.

 

[skoora]

hey wait! I thought the Helios incorporated all his mods over the years!! Whaaaaaa!

Talk about a little late.

 

[shar-vell Dan]

It looks like those cheap eastern block Marshall knockoffs.

Really cool find. I have a 100 watt snorkler and had a Cantrell modded fish. FWIW the preamp in the snorkler is basically identical to the Cantrell mod on the fish. The preamp sounded a bit tighter than the amp, but when I crank the nfb knob on the amp they sound almost identical. Just thought I would toss that out there since there’s a lot of people chasing those sounds. I still would buy another fish just because haha

What else is special about the snorkler? Is it basically a tighter Jubilee or is there any difference between it and a boosted 800?

Good question. It has its own thing going on. It is darker, like a jubilee, but it isn't as round in the notes. It still has some kerrang but not nearly as much as boosted jcm 800 (but more than a jubilee). Not as much cut as a jcm 800 but sounds really big. It can get very saturated and hairy but you can still hear all the individual notes in a chord. That to me is the biggest difference from most amps I have played (the only other amp I have that does something similar but in a different way is a friedman naked). The intro to we die young is a good example of how it can sound. That aggressive low-mid grind thing.

I do think, like most bogner products, it can be a little odd with how the knobs react and it can easily flub out if you aren't paying attention.

The plate driven tone stack.

Cool stuff! I trust these will come out sounding great. I also believe everyone on the forums will say the originals are better because of confirmation bias

Well, teh "originals" were nothing more than a preamp circuit Reinhold hacked into JCM800 combos and a few heads.

Would not buy based on gheyest name for amp ever.

 

[napalmdeath]

They have terrible availability on current production as it is. If it is released in the U.S., it'll be tough to get, I'm guessing. Not sure what their deal is, but they certainly can't keep the pace getting shit into stores.

Is there anything you like ?

 

[shar-vell Dan]

New ? Not really. If i were to take on another project id snag another JMP and have my friend Obeid Khan build it.
He's worked on Jose's, Dumbles, you name it. Amazing Engineer.
