Critic Reviews

Bogner Uberschall pedal review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Bogner Uberschall Pedal promises "Armageddon in a box" but falls short in delivering iconic metal sounds, despite its robust build and decent tones. While the pedal boasts high-quality construction and a versatile boost function, it's expensive and lacks the fast, percussive attack needed for key metal genres. Ideal for those appreciating Bogner's craftsmanship, but other metal pedals might offer more value.
