    Can someone fill me in on the Uberschall?

    I tried one once (briefly) and hated it. (I think through a cab with 75W Celestions.) I've heard though that there are different versions with different personalities? (and obviously the Twin Jet is different.) Not that I need more amps, just curious. Do they do more than super tight metal?

    20th XTC or Helios?

    That is the question :-) Anyone experience both? I'm also not sure between the EL34 or 6L6 version for the XTC 20th. I have a 101b and (for now) 100b. I find the 101b maybe too loose or grainy at times (but I don't like using the M or T excursion switches) and the 100b maybe a bit too...

    Brown Eye vs Bogners...today's experience

    Well, got to crank up 4 today for hours..... Bogner 101b - if only it were less chaotic/confused/grainy in the mids. I liked the squish it has though, fun to play, and a great overall EQ. Shiva 20th KT88 - Good, but maybe not enough bottom, and too "toppy" (the KT88s?) I'm guessing EL34's...

    Finicky les paul, wood/tone issues?

    I've had this happen on several guitars, maybe someone knows what's going on. The guitar can go from being fat and solid sounding, to being very thin and plinkly---all acoustically/unplugged. Obvious huge reduction is bass, fullness, solidity and sustain. Sometimes the guitar sounds "right"...

    Friedman Marsha/Brown Eye advice (cab help and settings)

    Just received it about two weeks ago...and still totally trying to figure this amp out :-) Anyway, so far it seems like the best tone I've had (where I didn't get lost in the mix) was with the FAT switch on with the BE mode. The other switches and settings didn't have as pronounced a...

    Soldano power amp with Bogner fish?

    Would that be a good power amp to use with the Fish tone-wise? I found one used for pretty cheap. I'm not looking for thin-metal tones, more AIC-type fatter sounds and diversity.

    Guitar Center pricing question on "used" gear???

    Hey guys, I was just at GC and found a used '59 Les Paul that I like. They have it at $3275 I think, and I seemed to be able to talk him down to "maybe" $3080. He said "that's his cost on it", but how could that be??? I doubt they would pay that much for a used '59, and if it was a trade-in...

    Which tone do you like better?

    Probably way too much gain on both (!!!), but curious which tone you guys like better. I hope the mp3 didn't kill the clip quality. Mystery Amp #1 http://www.netmusicians.org/files/92-mystery_amp_1.mp3 Mystery Amp #2 http://www.netmusicians.org/files/73-mystery_amp_2.mp3

    What power amp would sound like the power section of a 101B?

    Just when I was about to give up on my Fish, I got my 101B back from Bogner, all happy and retubed, and tried the fish through it. :rock: I thought the Fish was a bit harsh in the 100B, but it sounded absolutely awesome through the 101B, a lot better IMHO than the 101B head, and maybe even...

    Rack effects tone-suckage tests. GMajor2, Eclipse, +more

    Just did some tests last weekend. Are there any good new units out there? LOL Rocktron Intellifex LTD sucked the least tone, but the effects were limited and didn't sound as good as some of the other units. TC Electronic Gmajor-2 sounded smooth, but was like it was in a tunnel. Digitech...

    Does the GSP-1101 suck tone?

    Just ordered one of these form GC. They price matched + did an additional $50 off for the green-tag sale, so I thought I'd try it. I mainly need delay for leads, and maybe a rich chorus/flanger/compressor for clean. Other FX would be useful, but not if the unit ruins my amp tone! Anyone have...

    Squish and Sag

    Hi all, Since I am not near anyone that has a 20th Anniversary Ecstasy, maybe someone could compare/contrast it against the 101B and 100B/Classic? What I'm curious in, is if it has some of that neat "squish" of the 101B, only less of it.. or is it as tight as the 100B/Classic? I'd love to...

    Cool serial numbers, superstitions, etc.

    Do any of you have cool serial #'s on your gear? or serial # superstitions? (like Chinese superstition believes that the #4 is bad.) I just noticed that my bogner fish is '78, so maybe it has the more "brown sound" than other fish? LOL. Also was lucky enough to get bogner ecstasy #001.

    Preamp to compliment the Bogner Fish??

    Have been wondering if a second preamp could be cool to use with the fish. Anyone do this using a Voodoo labs switcher or similar? Thinking X88R, X99, Egnater ie4, M4, CAE 3+ ? Is this totally redundant, or are there some tones in this other units that would compliment the Fish or fill in...

    Power amp for the Bogner Fish?

    Hi all, Just ordered a Bogner Fish. Would my existing 100b be a good power amp for it, or would that even make sense? I have a lead on a used VHT-2150, but am afraid it may be overkill for the volume we play? and may not have enough "sag", squish or warmth. I toyed with the idea of a...

    Egnater MOD50 -vs- Diezel Einstein

    Any bogner 101b users here have experience with these 2 amps? For someone used to the 101b, which amp is a more comfortable switch? I tried the Diezel (other thread) which I really dug, but have heard rave things about the Mod50 from a friend. Also, I'm a tinkerer, and the though of the...
