Hello. Here is not really quick but very detailed playthrough of my Bogner Ecstasy 101A 20th Aniversary. Some time ago I recorded similar demo of Early 90's 101B, but this Anniversary is definitely different amp. To me it's more vintage and sweet sounding. Being Bogner, I think this amp is as eccentric as Reinhold Bogner Himself, the sound is unmistakable, very alive, open, and just very fun to play. In the begging I had hard time to dial amp, but 10 minutes of manual reading helped a lot. Basically Ecstasy can sound like anything, but a bit overwhelming at first glance, therefore I went through all knobs, and some sound examples. it's quite long video but I have timecode attached, so you can go to interested part. Throughout whole video I played Gibson Les Paul 1959 Reissue with Throback DW102 PAF pickups, Bogner 4x12 Cab with Greenbacks, Royer R121 and AKG C414 mics. There is also Eventide Eclipse that gave a bit of plate reverb, and delay that was added later in mix, so it does not load down fx loop of the amp, that was disengaged during recoding
