Bogner Ecstasy 101B Tube Amplifier – MusicPlayers.com

musicplayers.com

The Bogner Ecstasy 101B Amp Head dazzles with its versatile tone and top-notch build quality, making it a prized possession for tone seekers. Its three independent channels offer a wide range of sounds, from vintage Marshall crunch to modern high-gain bliss, and its Class A/AB power settings provide flexible wattage options. The amp is a sonic powerhouse, perfect for multiple genres, though its complex controls demand a learning curve. However, the lack of reverb and non-adjustable boost levels may be drawbacks for some. With a steep price tag, this amp is for serious players chasing the ultimate tone.

Sickest modern take on a classic Marshall 2555-esq circuit

Endlessly diable/tweakable, solid build, gorgeous sounds from classic to modern rock. Combine this with a good Les Paul and it roars, a good Tele and it spanks, a good Strat and it sings.

Joe Don Rooney’s guitar tech, David Graef, describes the guitarist’s rig as “a fun one. It’s a dry/wet/dry rig with a center 4x12 cabinet, with just the dry amp and two Mathers 1x12 cabinets for the effect left and right signals. We start with two dual Shure UR4D wireless units that go into a line selector made by RJM Technology. From the selector, the signal goes to my pedal board, where I do the majority of his patch changes, and then returns to an amp selector that feeds signal to one of two Bogner Ecstasy 101B heads [miked with three Shure SM57s and a Royer ribbon, pictured], a Blackstar Series One 200 head and a Diamond Decada head, and then out to the 4x12 dry cabinet. I take a line-level signal and feed the outboard effects [TC Electronic D-Two, Fireworx and Reverb 4000]. They return to and are blended through a Midas Venice 160 console and sent to a VHT 292 amp that powers the two Mathers 1x12 cabinets onstage for the wet signal.
