What are your favorite Bogner amps?

Absolutely the 100B of a friend.
Apart for that, actually I prefer my Helios Eclipse
Then my Ecstasy Cameron modded.
I sold the Uberschall (that wasn't my favorite) for the UberUltra that I'm waiting in a few days, hoping for a totally new platform.
 
I haven't played them all but the XTC classic gets my vote. Big open chords with the kerrang echoing out. Single notes dont sound tinny or piercing. Every channel is excellent and the plexi mode has a bark to it when cranked loud. However you must play cleanly or you will be exposed.
 
the 101b i have atm.

it’s my 3rd one, iirc from around 2021.
Something different about it- dunno if there was a revision around the change of the decade but it sounds meaner than the previous 2 as if the mids are shifted higher.

still have an early shiva el34 which is like.

also owned GF90, Eclipse and Shiva 20th kt88
 
I'm a recent Bogner convert- tried both versions of the 3554 (35 and 50 watt) then landed on the XTC 20th anniversary 6L6.

I've owned a lot of mainstream and boutique amps over the years, and this amp is one of if not THE best amp of them all. The variety and quality of the tones is just amazing.

I've only played a few unfortunately and most all in the same family.

Rev 2 Uber
Twin Jet
Uber Ultra

And some type of 101.

All of them are excellent amps but so far my favorite has been the Ultra. That is basically my favorite amp I've ever played.
 
I got my first Bogner in December, the Snorkler 50. Wow! Fantastic amp. Chased down an amp that I have wanted for like 10 years but for some reason just never bought. The Shiva 20th Anniversary KT-88, one of the last ones made. Why on earth did I wait this long to get one? Another amazing Bogner amp. Picked up an older 4x12 8 ohm Ubercab locally for a great price to go with them. I want to try more! I am looking at you Uberschall Ultra!
