OK, the one thing I wish I could do on my 20th Shiva is go heavy to clean by rolling back the volume on my guitar. I can;t do that on my PWE Event Horizon either. Both amps sound fantastic but it would be nice to have that control.

I have a 20th Shiva and have a chance to get a great deal on a 101b from the late 90s. I don't when I will get a chance to play it, but should I bother? I have read the older XTCs were too compressed and lacked cut and heard the red channel is not that great. Apparently, the 20th XTC fixed all...

Hi all! I am about to load my Bogner OS212 with something new.... I have a Marshall 412 with Celestion V30s/T75 and it sounds killer for pop to metal, nice and versatile! Looking to do maybe the same mix in my Bogner 212, 75/30 or two other possibiltiies! Celestion V30/CL-80 or Celestion...

Hey guys!! Amps are Bogner EL34 20th Ann Shiva and new PWE Event Horiaon 50 watt head. Love Greenbacks but well in a semi open 212 with GB's are lacking in the lows. They need a very narrow opening or closed back to get that THUMP..... I really don't think i want to be lugging around a 412...

Hey guys, My main amp is a 20th ann. Bogner Shiva with EL34s. I play lots of originals and originals with the guys from super clean to crunchy tones to hard rock similar to anything from grung to 80s and 90s hard rock styles like Alice in Chains, Rush, Tool, STP, Godsmack, Van Halen. We are...

I just love my Bogner 212OS cabinet, I use it in semi open back form. My current favorite 212 cab. So much so that I have stopped thinking about other 212s and just use all my amps with this cabinet. I am using a V30/CL-80 mix, great tones! My other cabs are a THD smaller 212 cabinet and a...

I decided my Egnater TM212 w/mic eliminator is far too similar to my Bobner OS212 and since I own a Bogner it makes sense to sell the Egnater cab. Is this the wrong place to be posting this or should I place this on the Classifieds section? I am going to sell it empty unless someone wants the...

Man, this amp just is IT! I have the EL34 version - Winged C SED EL34s. I have been using the Bogner 212 cab with Celestion G12-65s. The thing I like about these speakers is that they are like Greenbacks and Bogner says these are the speakers you want if you want sweet tones. Nice thing about...

Hey guys, ONe of my cabs is the TM212 cab and I can't seem to find the best approach. Right now I run it semi open back with Celestion G12-65s for originals and covers. We do everything from clean to mean, covers from Led Zep to STP, AIC, to Tool. Maybe I need to mix speakers to get more...

I am getting sick and tired of the speaker swapping and think I might just end this madness with all Scumbacks. Right now I have a little of eveyrthing Celestion, CL80s, K-100s, G12-65s... So tell me why you use or prefer Scumbacks? Small cap/large cap? Which do you find smoother? Richer...

Had a chance to take my Bogner OS 212 out with the band using my EL34 loaded 20th Shiva and man was it huge sounding! Just, big and broad sounding. Very even and large, tight lows, smooth mids and warm highs. I am really impressed with this combination.

I remember years ago guys were nuts about the Mod series. They were the best thing since sliced bread. Now, they get pushed under the carpet and cast aside! What happened? Is it all about the Chinese manufacturing now? If I ever went the mod route again it would be a Randall rack rig and...

I ask this question because I had an odd conversation with a guy I know. He said the reason Bogners are fizzy (he was referring to the 20th Shiva at the time) is because they are made so poorly, not much better quality or tone than a Peavey. Right then and there I knew this guy had a few screws...

I was going to pick up an old Mesa Boogie half back which has the thiele port on the bottom or a Port City 212 which of course is ported. The thing that is so great about the Mesa half back is that it has everything, open back top, ported bottom for punch and slant top for better projection...

I can't afford to buy a used XTC 20th Anniversary....especially after buying a 20thg Shiva. What is the next best thing?" The 101b? I have heard that the 20th is a huge, huge step forward in every way, loop, tone, functionality, everything. I aldo talked to Stu at Fat Sound Guitars and he says...

Anyone tried one of these? Do they compare to Bogners? I heard a few guys make a switch from the 20th Shiva to the Event Horizon.

EL34? KT77? 6550? Why? I am thinking of trying something different. Right now I have EL34s and am going to try KT77s tonight. If I decide to try 6550s, I will have to mod the amp to be able to accept those tubes. Not sure it is worth it, since this is the amp I use for modded Marshall tones...

I currenty have SED EL34s in my 20th Shiva biased at 36ma and I know that is hot....might be why I get a little bit of mud in the tone. Bogner recommended 29ma but I think that is low. I have a set of JJE34Ls and I want to try em tonight but need to know how much hotter to bias them over...

Anyone played both amps? I LOVE my 20th Shiva with EL34s but have nee itching for another modded Marshall type amp. It seems at that price point, Splawns are some of the best around. Apparently the Streetrod is smoother and warmer than most other Splawns and I did play it briefly and keep...

I am thinking of one of these two for my next cabinet to use with my 20th Shiva and Mesa Reborn DR. I hear great things about both. I currently have a THD 212 semi open back port and Bogner OS212 that I run with the semi open back. I was thinking the PC 212 would be most different and was...
