Picked up my 2nd Bogner amp this weekend (1st was a 101B). This Goldfinger Super Lead feels amazing and sounds great. Seriously the best clean channel I've ever played. I wish it had a bit more grit when pushed hard, but a pedal can do that. It's got a real nice snap under my fingers when I dig in, and somehow never gets harsh even though it's very present.
The gain channel has a 3 way slider that goes from about a Friedman smallbox position on the low end, all the way to a Jose-esque modded up Marshall on the high end. I think the sweet spot is the middle 70's setting which is pretty reminiscent of a 101B blue channel, but with more upper mid emphasis like a real marshall. The gain EQ control is fantastic, and can take it from a brighter more aggressive sound on the left to a thicker low mid sound bogners are famous for when rotated clockwise.
I think this has ended my amp search for a while. I sold my Friedman smallbox for this and couldn't be happier. Much better clean, about the same Plexi style crunch, and then it takes off from there with the 70s and 80s modes. This is probably the biggest sleeper amp I've ever played if you get a chance to check one out I highly recommend it.
