The Smashing Pumpkins – ATUM

"2006 Trussart Rustomatic used as the main guitar on Zeitgeist"

"This Taylor DN8 is from the private collection of Billy Corgan.

This was Billy's number one Taylor for a long time. It was used in the studio on the Zeitgeist album, and then became his primary live acoustic.

Like many of Corgan's main live guitars, this has stickers to help crew identify it. It has "Fear This," American flag, and Zero stickers. The bridge pins have been replaced with metal pins. By the preamp controls, you can see bright pink tape to indicate Corgan's settings. There are some scuffs on the back, and various small nicks, but overall this is a clean guitar with no major blemishes.

This is a classic dreadnought with a spruce top and rosewood back and sides, giving it the sound you'd expect from a well-built box made with quality woods. It was Corgan's main acoustic, so it's definitely been worked. As a result, it has a nice, open sound unplugged, and the electronics are road-tested.

This acoustic will ship in its original Taylor hardshell case, with original bridge pins included."

On Billy Corgan's official Instagram account, he posted about using this new model in the studio.

The new Billy Corgan Signature Drop-Z from @reverendguitars. This guitar is all over the new SP record I’m making.

Four were sold on Corgan's official Reverb.com shop.

#1:

This Bogner Uberschall is from the private collection of Billy Corgan.

This is the amp that is on all of the Zeitgeist album. You can see the markings on this unit that signifies that this was the main unit of the four he had—the others are available for sale as well, and were backups. He had two on the Zeitgeist tour, playing two heads through two cabinets each. Then, because you want redundancy, he added two more Ubershall heads as backups.

As you can imagine, this was a MASSIVE sound, especially considering that Billy's guitars were typically tuned in C-sharp Standard during this era.

This was the main amp used in the studio to record Zeitgeist, and it also went on tour with Corgan. Remarkably, it shows almost no sigsn of wear. The tolex is still unblemished, and it is structurally perfect.

This is a slightly older iteration of Uberschall than the other three Corgan had. This was his first, and somehow it has a very different character than the others. The lead channel is more open, with a more aggressive progression of gain. This is, hands down, one of the best amp heads to ever come through the Reverb office, even if only for the glorious lead channel. Everything works as it should.

This Bogner Uberschall is from the private collection of Billy Corgan.

This Bogner was the second amp in a pair. He had two on the Zeitgeist tour, playing two heads through two cabinets each. Then, because you want redundancy, he added two more Ubershall heads as backups.

As you can imagine, this was a MASSIVE sound, especially considering that Billy's guitars were typically tuned in C-sharp Standard during this era.

This amp is extraordinarily clean, with almost zero signs of wear. It is in near-mint condition.

This two-channel head with a Master Volume can be earth-shattering, but it is also highly shapeable and tameable. The clean channel is mellow and warm, while the lead channel offers a smooth progression of syrupy drive, all with the bass response these amps are known for. Everything works as it should.

This amp head currently does not have a power cord included.

Weight: 48.6 lbs. (22.1 kg)

Backup 1:

This Bogner Uberschall is from the private collection of Billy Corgan.

According to Corgan, this was a backup Bogner head used on the Zeitgeist tour. He had two main Ubershalls on the Zeitgeist tour, playing two heads through two cabinets each. Then, because you want redundancy, he added two more Ubershall heads as backups.

As you can imagine, this was a MASSIVE sound, especially considering that Billy's guitars were typically tuned in C-sharp Standard during this era.

Being a back up head, this amp is extraordinarily clean, with almost zero signs of wear. It is in near-mint condition.

Backup 2:

This Bogner Uberschall is from the private collection of Billy Corgan.

According to Corgan, this was a backup Bogner head used on the Zeitgeist tour.

Being a backup head, this amp is still very clean. Some dust and one tiny speck of residue on the top, but otherwise excellent cosmetic condition.
