...Marshall type amp? I decided I just love the Marshall vibe but I tend to like modded Marshall and tweaked Marshalls so I decided I am going to look for a Marshall killer. Best I have found so far is the Splawn STreetrod, nice managable 50 watts, killer tones all around. But, more and more...

I am hearing sooo many great things bout Port City cabinets that I am considering getting the OS212 and replacing my Bogner 212 and also getting the smaller Port City 212 cabinet. They are supposed to be lighter as well...over 10 lbs lighter than my Bogner OS 212. That is a bonus! Apparently you...

I know I just don't understand. Can someone explain how the 20th Shiva is 90 watts if it has two tubes? And how would it be different if it had 4 power tubes like most 100 watt heads? More plate current? Fatter sounidng?

I recently replaced my pedals with a TC Electronic Nova System and so far love it. However I am used to using a graphic EQ my whole life. This unit has a parametric EQ I am usingfor lead. Can anyone give me some tips on setting a three band parametric EQ for leads? Looking to be able to get...

Hi all, I am about to get a new Dual Rectifier. I really like the improvements Mesa has made to the clean channel, the smoother gain in the other channels (easier for dialing in a lead) and great options throughout. Can anyone tell me if they have heard of a lot of issues with reliability...

Hello! I was curious if anyone is able to mod a pedal or create a new pedal for a Bogner Shiva 20th Anniversary head? Problem is, for gigging...I need to have the capability to turn on the effects loop from my main Bogner footswitch. My other amps, VHT ST/50 and Mesa Mark V both have this...

Anyone compared these two???? The Whirwind is fairly cheap on ebay new so I am tempted rather than having my 1974 CSP-026 phaser modded for $70. Anyone try these two??? Is the Whirlwind as warm and smooth, deep? Thanks!

A friend brought over two of his V30s last night. They are about 5 years old and well broken in. These are british made. I compared them to my WGS Vet30s and the difference was huge. The V30s were brittle, thin, harsh, ice pick to the head. I used a 20th Anniversary Shiva and VHT ST/50 to...

Why do they call it the new clean channel EQ boost circuit? I mean, it boosts the gain channel as well! I find it more usefull on the gain channel anyway for a hotter tone!

I am looking for a cover for my Shiva head.....nothing too big or bulky, just enough to stop nicks and scratches from bumping things. My VHT came with a nice leather slip cover, wish the Bogner did! Maybe I will email Bogner to see what they have to offer. Something light in weight and easy to...

I have been a little dissapointed with the 20th Shiva's loop. I find it too hot unless you are using rack gear. I find the design of my VHT ST's loop to be far superior. One aspect I really enjoy of the VHT's is the ability to have complete control over the output of the loop since it has a...

I have the EL34 version and I only have two power tubes....wouldn't that be 50 watts????? My VHT ST50 is 50 watts and louder than my Shiva. Weird? Not complaining though because it works well at low volumes.

What OD/Distortion pedals have you found work best with the Shiva or 20th Shiva? I have the 20th with EL34s. My fear is I will get to a gig and will have an amp failure and will be forced to run through a club's amp. In that case I could run direct into an amp clean with a distortion pedal...

I have to say the 20th Shiva has killer cleans! With Tung Sol EL34s which are almost 6L6ish when played clean. Even better it rakes pedals GREAT! At a rehearsal for another flavor, I ran the Shiva clean and use an OD/Distirtion pedal and the tone was brilliant. This amp is a dream....someone...

I have the El34 20th Shiva and it came stock with Chinese tubes which I find harsh. I replaced those with JJs and the stock power tubes are EHEL34s. I had installed JJs but I went back to the EH tubes. I am more interested in the preamp tubes and what you all have found to work best for you? Rich

I had a conversation with one of the guys at Eurotubes and they said the tech's at Bogner are wrong concerning the bias of EL34s in the 20th Shiva. Basically, he went on to say how Bogner makes some of the best amps but they don't know much about tubes and plate voltage, etc. He went on to...

Guys, A friend of mine stopped using amp distortion and switched to a pedal and loves it. He had some great amps too. He likes the simplicity but he says it is some of the best tone he has had. The simplicity is not using an effects loop and lots less cables to run. He goes Wah - OD/Dist pedal...

Does anyone happen to know a good vertical 212 cabinet they could recommend? I prefer something with well designed ports. THANKS!

Hey guys, A friend of mine is going to run my THD 212 with his Rebel 30 combo at a gig and I am curious if he should use the "Use First" out or the "Extension" out? I told him to run the Extension out jack but the manual acts as if you must run the Use First jack before anything else. He wants...

What do you guys think is the best platform to get the best Marshall tones, Great cleans, a good effects loop, enough gain for hard rock and that Marshall crunch while working at lower to moderate club volumes? A friend of mine uses a 1974 NMV JMP 50 and runs it on 1 or 2 so super clean but...
