    Diezel VH2 vs VH4

    Oh, I was under the impression the VH2 was purposely made as a more affordable VH4 with channels of 1 and 3 of the VH4. I didn't know it might be its own beast, sounds like it's close but not the same. Then other posts are people saying channel 2 of VH2 is the best gain channel and they sold...

    Invader II VS Powerball II

    The Invader 2 is probably one of the most versatile amps made with 3 unique tone channels (3+4 are mainly tightness and mids differences in mine), high gain buttons and an original heavy gain structure that's a step above the Fireball IMO. Throw in midi, the tube diagnostics and multi master...

    Splawn nitro compare to Rectifier, Uberschall ,Diezel

    Agreed 2 channels is usually enough for most metal players, I like 3 minimum for metal so there's a dedicated 3rd channel for leads to add gain, change the eq and bump the volume etc. The Uberschall will cost much more than a Nitro if that matters, also only the new Uber Ultra has fixed the...

    Monsters of Rock Cruise - 2024

    That's a lot of 80s 90 bands but Richie Kotzen, he's a great guitarist, good to see he's still out there. There's gonna be a lot of divorced Milf's on that MOR ship so if that's your thing, go to the Winger, Extreme, Slaughter and Firehouse shows. LOL

    Diezel VH4 - How many versions and which is 'best'?

    These are tough questions because who's actually played a bunch in real time, recorded them through the same gear, playing the same thing music and then compared? Not many do this, it's usually you heard the amp years ago or months ago, then you're hearing a different one today and trying to...

    Favorite speakers for Splawn amps?

    Mesa Recto 4x12 with Celestion V30, I've done many cab show downs, even rookie players rank it 1 or 2 in the shootout. Hard to beat in the all around time category vs specific tone preferred.

    Splawn nitro compare to Rectifier, Uberschall ,Diezel

    Nitro is unique, it's worthy of being in your stable of amps but... The Herbert is better for live playing, midi etc and honestly the best metal amp out there. Triple Rec needs helps to tighten up, when it does it turns its a great Metal amp too. The Nitro is tighter and has a different gain...

    Boomy bass

    Nitro fan here.... My Resonance is at 8am My Bass is at 9am IMO, These amps have too much bass, there's not enough control of the whole spectrum if you're at 8am and 9am on the whole low freq range. I know metal guys like the thunder but good God this is too much thunder for those poor...

    What pedal can mimic best an ENGL amp?

    The Headrush has a PowerBall amp sim in it, you can get these used for a decent price, $450, and possibly going lower since Prime replaced it.

    Bogner offering Metal Grills again

    Metal grille = Classic, Iconic and Metal!! I wasn't buying my TJ without it on there. Good to know you can buy these separately.

    Uber Ultra

    2020 TJ custom owner here, Sweetwater was a disaster then, they had issues beyond what I'd call professionalism, I wouldn't buy a Bogner through them. Sounds great, 2.0 with the new additions really stands out, it's the same yet because of the new tweaks you can do, it goes beyond the older...

    New Bogner Uberschall coming?

    So as a buyer of an customized Uberschall in 2020, curious.... Still 2 channels? No midi? Master volume goes from 1.5 to 5 with an 1/16 of an inch move? KT88s not available? Clean channel volume on 10 equals channel 2 volume on 3? All the knobs on channel 2 act like someone swapped the names of...

    NAD: Herbert mk 3, but I think something is wrong with it

    Until you find an amp tech that's anal and can actually accurately test tubes, I'd just chalk up any used amp you get needing a FULL retube until you hear it, record or and compare to other amps. And at minimum, preamp tubes all being swapped for matched and balanced. Usually amps are sold by...

    NAD: Herbert mk 3, but I think something is wrong with it

    You didn't specify if this Herbert was received as a new amp or used amp? You made sure though that we knew it was shipped through Fed Ex though?? LOL Sounds like weak tubes, and why bother swapping out only 2 preamp tubes if this is a used amp and it sounds weak? Curious what was the...

    New 2020 Uberschall Twin Jett Came With Ruby 6550 And Setup?

    Ruby 6550 are great, I just never got the KT88 from Bogner or Sweetwater like I ordered so I can't compare which I like better. Regardless, I can tell the 6550 helped make it a bit tighter with some head room that I like, channel 2 is unique compared to my other amps so it's a nice addition...

    New 2020 Uberschall Twin Jett Came With Ruby 6550 And Setup?

    Looks like Bogner was having issue getting KT88s due to a fire a tube factory had and other preferences they wanted. Ruby 6550 will be their preferred power tube in the Twin Jetts and they felt was closest to the Uber KT88 sound. I'm still getting JJ KT88s and doing a back to back recording...

    New 2020 Uberschall Twin Jett Came With Ruby 6550 And Setup?

    Huh no one mentioned this between Bogner or Musicians Friend and yet sometime on here knows the answer. LOL So you like the 6550 over the KT88 or haven't you got a chance to compare? I'll most likely be getting KT88s since I prefer this tube but I'll compare them first to make sure. I'm also...

    New 2020 Uberschall Twin Jett Came With Ruby 6550 And Setup?

    I ordered a Twin Jett and expected the KT88s, it but not only did it come with Ruby 6550 but was setup by Musicians Friend and had the tubes in it and missing the packing slip from Bogner. I'm trying to get in touch with Bogner and run the serial number but this seems a bit fishy. Any insight...

    Rev 2, What's A Fair Price In 2020 and How Many Were Made?

    Thanks, I custom ordered a Twin Jett with metal grille and KT88s, here in 9-15 weeks at $2875. New vs possible old amp issues I tend to inherite was a factor and having the KT88s for a tighter bottom with more headroom that I want in these type of amps was something Bogner will do from the...

    Invader 2 Problem Solved #3, Popping Sound Then LED Flickers

    Well at least my guys can fix this thing, Mike Rubano and Fernando cured the beast once again of crappy capacitors. Read my other thread about turning off after 40 minutes. My 3rd problem with the Invader 2 started after about 20 hours of playing from that repair, you'd play about 2 minutes...
