This thing is a monster! If you own an ecstasy and want something much lighter and much smaller, to do the Bogner thing, you will not be disappointed… No, it is not an ecstasy… But it has all of the Bogner flavor (DNA) you could ever ask for, considering the size and weight, it is a fantastic little amp with incredible array of tones available, I have just scratched the surface over the last couple of days, I prefer the vintage tone, using the rectifier tube as it gets closer to the ecstasy sag, feel and tone,
I am currently on the 70s mode and it just rips, there is enough gain just using the crunch channel at about half to get tons of sustain and very rich harmonics and pinch squeals etc. etc.
The clean channel is just plain beautiful… I think it is better than the ecstasy clean channel but this is subjective of course. Clean ch feels and sounds much more sweet 'fender'…
Played at rehearsal Friday night, the amp performed absolutely wonderful, did everything I needed it too and I was totally happy with it, actually I was giddy at how small it is and how huge it sounds! Lots of that low mid growl and more bass than you will ever need, I have the bass at 1 o'clock, compared to my ecstasy 100B which is set at 2 o'clock…
I have played four high-end lunchbox amps and this is by far the most versatile and of course, the logical choice for a Bogner lover…
Again, if you want something to quickly take with you to a rehearsal, or even a gig and don't feel like carrying 65 pounds of Xtcy… This may be your answer, it is absolutely my answer! I really cannot understand how someone could love a Bogner ecstasy and not also love this little beast, for what it is, it's an amazing piece of gear that's been well thought out and well laid out… This is no honeymoon phase, this is exactly what I needed, for me, it is absolute perfection! I will do a full review in a few days.
I Purchased from 'GUITAR SHOP' at 249 Lakeshore East in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada… Adrian, one of the co-owners, (sincere, great guy) will help you out, I was blown away by the nice amps ( and high end guitars) they carry, Friedman, Bogner- they have a good selection, Great people to deal with! Extremely professional, very patient, and helpful, I left there, with my new Bogner, feeling like a million bucks!
