    New 100W Bogner Ecstasy for 2025?

    I read that Bogner is coming out with a new version of the 100 watt Ecstasy in 2025, supposedly based on the Pandora. Anybody have any news on this?

    Need help with my Bogner Ecstasy Pandora

    I need your help please. Even though I have extensive knowledge of complex amps (and had a different Ecstasy model for many years), I can‘t seem to make the Pandora work for me. It‘s so easy to make it sound bad. And I feel my ears get tired relatively soon with this amp when dialing it in, so...

    Talk me into / out of blind buying a Wizard halfstack

    I always loved the clips of Wizard amps. However, there aren´t many in Europe and there will probably never be an opportunity for me to try one in person prior to purchase. So I´ve been thinking about whether or not to purchase one blind, maybe even a halfstack to complete the look. They are of...

    Please recommend a new high gain amp for me

    Sold off my last amp a while ago and want something new. I had a lot of different amps from different brands over the years but my taste has also changed a lot so I feel I only know now what I want. One thing I never had was some sort of (modded) Marshall. The amp should be very articulate and...

    VHT GP3 preamp vs. Synergy Fryette modules

    Has anybody had the two and can compare? The GP3 is the preamp section of the Ultralead with separate channels, so I wonder how it compares to a Synergy preamp with an Ultralead module?

    I want a Fryette Ultralead, but can´t find one - what´s the best alternative?

    Had one years ago, sold it, regretted it ever since. They are extremely rare and almost impossible to find where I live and aren´t currently in production. What´s the best alternative? Maybe the Synergy module? How close will it get me and is the Ultralead module very sensitive to the poweramp used?

    Please explain the Fryette / VHT amp models to me

    I had an Ultra-Lead several years back and have regretted selling it ever since. I have not found a lead tone and feel like that ever since. Very precise, tight, just glorious. They are extremely rare where I live so I wondered what could come close. There are models like Hundred/CL, Fifty/CL or...

    Is there a "boutique version" of the EVH 5150III?

    I know I´m late to the party, but I played an EVH 5150 III for the first time recently. It´s a very cool amp and I LOVED its tone, however it was a bit noisy. Plus it does have quite a few features and is quite reasonably priced, so I´m wondering how well they´re really made? Build quality is...

    Soldano SLO vs. X99 preamp

    So I´ve had an SLO for over 10 years and it is one of the best lead amps out there. I´m currently using it slaved as a preamp only with its signal going through a stereo rack into two cabs. I´ve been thinking about adding an X99 preamp to have more different tones available (and storable)...

    Holy shit, that´s some rippin tones and playing

    Just found out about this guy, never heard of him before. Seems like he recently did a cover album. Take a listen: _AFmJ1Rq1xU :rock: :rock: Now that´s what I call some good tones. Anybody know what they used? Obviously, the production is top notch as well, might have something to to with...

    Bogner Ecstasy + Uberschall pedal = Uberschall amp?

    I have an Ecstasy Classic loaded w/ EL34s and would like to get the aggressive Uberschall tones every once in a while. Will this amp with the Uberschall pedal get me close?

    Dave Weiners GUITOPIA? Anyone?

    So Dave Weiner startet a website called GUITOPIA which seems to be an amped-up version of the old Riff of the week with lesson videos and so on. Is anybody a member over there?

    Good HSS strat that won´t break the bank?

    I´m looking for a good HSS strat. I´m looking for something light, resonant, and most importantly not too plastic feeling (like a squier classic vibe strat I played recently that sounded ok, but felt horrible). I will be using it for 80s session tones like Landau, Huff, Luke, so no modern metal...

    New tubes for my Bogner Ecstasy Classic – NOS Siemens/RFT?

    I understand that the general consensus for the Ecstasy is winged =C= for the poweramp and selected chinese for the preamp. However, I found a quad of NOS Siemens/RFTs from a very reliable source. They are friggin´ expensive though, about twice as much as an already expensive quad of winged...

    Analyzing Lynch and Huff to get my theory together...

    I´ve come to realize that I need to get better on the guitar. I love to play and have cool gear, but I need to get my theory, fretboard knowledge and also technique etc. together to make it more musical and just more pleasing to me and others who hear me play. I´m a huge Lynch fan. To me, this...

    Bogner 4x12 Standard or Ubercab for an Ecstasy Classic?

    I´m about to buy a cab for this amp. Can´t try them before I buy so I´m wodering which will suit better. I love the Ubercabs looks but the standard´s speaker configuration. Are they identical aside from the speakers? I don´t like the basket grill on the standard. I´m playing rock and 80s metal...

    Please talk me into/out of the PT100

    I currently own a Soldano SLO and a Fryette Ultralead. Love both, but what´s missing is the modded Marshall thing. The SLO is too refined and the Ultralead too tight/stiff/modern sometimes. I like both and have no plans on selling either, I´m just looking to add another flavor. I´m not playing...

    VHT/Fryette Fatbottom cab: best suited for a certain style?

    I´ve been owning an Ultralead for a while now and love its clarity and tightness. Right now I´m using a Soldano cab with it (not loaded with the original speakers though) and it sounds good, but every now and then I´m thinking about getting the cab the amp was designed for. However, the style of...

    Best body wood for a rosewood neck?

    I´m thinking about building a custom guitar made of Warmoth parts. So I´d really like to have a rosewood neck / fingerboard which would result in a pretty dark and fat sounding neck. Which would be my best choice to go for the guitars body / top to prevent it from getting too dark/muddy? From...

    Which available amps sounds similar to a Cameron?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1Ir5eYX ... re=channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37DwrLTC ... annel_page Those tones are freakin´ awesome, what sounds similar? Seems like you can´t get a Cameron amp, neither a CCV/CCM nor a modified Marshall :cry:
