Gaaaawwd. WANT.

Was that Reinhold? He's so eccentric, it's awesome. Hahaha
 
that is Reinhold and he is one of a kind and yes the head does sound really good, I could here some Eric Johnson plexi tones in this clip as well. :thumbsup:
 
As I said earlier, sounds like a healthy Plexi.

Albeit a tighter, more focused one. It has some serious punch and I bet it takes pedals very well.
 
Judging from the 2 vids...

Tighter for sure. Can't really tell bass on it, but I'm guessing it's got more than a plexi. I'm finding it a bit too dry, and am going on a hunch that there's definitely room for more saturation in the circuit than these videos - with the time given and the test pilots driving - are indicating.

The idea it takes pedals was the first thing I thought about when I watched the above video - we're into that 808/TS territory, which is the recipe for most plexi voiced heads, and, for the record, not my preference personally, but whatever.

Need more data. More quality clips. At this time, if I had to pick, I'd go 50 watts only to know I could crank it quicker and get it to push sooner than a 100 watter. It's needing that fatter saturation, longer sustain, more chew.

Just IMHO, I know Reinhold is responsible for 1 of my 2 favourite lines of amps of all time. I'm wagering there's some magic on these heads that's yet to be revealed.
 
Hey Guys I have several of the 100W and 50W heads on order if you would like one, PM me

Yes I'm finding it too dry for my taste, even with these couple of poor quality vids I can hear that. Not that it sounds bad but I'm preferring my 100B so far.
 
I bought Doug's solo EP a few years a go. He's a nice, under-the-radar player.

It's got that "THUNK" going on... You know, plow ya in the chest. And it's got that one famous descriptor going on.... "kerrang". But I'm undecided as to what to make of it. I love Bogners for the chew and grind - every key amp Reinhold has put out has this - everything from the Rev.2 and TJ through to the XTC and Sheevs. It's a growl. This sounds more like a punch to the head than a growl - not that either is bad when discussing metaphorically and in the context of "amps" :lol: :LOL:

Mad chops to boot man!!

Looks like he's a Zappa/Serj Tankian crossover.

:confused: Thinking of which that sounds like it could be a killer combo :yes:
 
"too dry"= it won't cover your mistakes. This amp sounds great
 
Sounds great yes. Like a real great Marshall, actually like two of them.
 
A Bogner that's "too dry." Cool, now Fryette has some company. Maybe the Helios would be a could partner for my D60.
