Best ever Bogner Shiva tone?

[* velcro-fly *]

Ok.. big claim but this is pretty fricking bad ass. Guitars are immense, I've owned 3 different Shivas but damn if this clip doesn't make me question why I ever got rid of them ?

There are few reasons…inbalance of both channels, bad loop without special cable, doesn’t sound good at low volumes.
You can hear its typical heavy low mid voicing in this video and result is quite bloathed rhythm sound and not enough cut.
I like any other big Bogner better than Shiva but it doesn’t mean it is bad amp.

I don't know, this clip sounds pretty badass to me ?

I never cared for the Shiva high gain tones, always thought it was a harsh and grainy. I had owned the KT88 20th model

In later versions they fixed those issues. Even added a boost to it and more gain too.

I've had nearly all the Shivas.
They're great for 90s hard rock stuff like Tool, AIC. Kinda does the Marshall/Mesa combined tone really well.
Great clean channel. Frustrating drive channel with rounded off pick attack and a covered sound until really cranked. The 20th improved on this stuff, but lost some of the good stuff the original has.
They're fine if you're the only guitarist, but get buried if there is something like a Fender Bassman or Marshall in the mix.
The Naylor drive channel is everything I wanted the Shiva to be, and then some. Much better feel and sound.

The 3534 blue channel set to neutral with gain cranked is not dissimilar to the Shiva in attack. But the blue channel sounds and feels better, imo, and the boost is more useful.

I think it sounds great as well......The tone in the song definitely has that Ty Tabor Gibson Lab5 tone to it, which I like alot. I enjoyed the song and the vibe to it. I think Tabor is using the S/S Orange CR120 now and I think it sounds pretty good.

I've always heard the Shiva to be the most Marshally of the Bogner line... I hear the Shiva as a bit tighter less compressed with less chewy nature compared to the what I hear in the Bogner Ecstasy.

For sure I prefer the 3534 boosted blue channel to the Shiva's I've had....this clip in particular just grabs me by the nutz
