Yeah, to me clarity is where it's at. I love that these new Bogners are more open and are fairly easy to dial in, but also have new switches/modes that allow you to get pretty close to the older models if you desire. It's cool to see a company incorporate more usefulness out of their designs.

The Twin Jet is a lot of fun, too...all that low end and destruction, but can cut thru like a champ. Just make sure you dial that one in with your eyes closed...

So magic, what bogners are you playing? Also, how does the blue on the 101b compare to th blue on the classic?

Right now I've just got a couple of Bogner cabs. I'm building my own amps these days, and I'll probably build a 101b or Classic eventually.

The Classic Blue sounds to me like it has more of a Marshall 1959 flavor to it, where the 101b sits further under the notes with more low mids. The Classic does seem a little more stiff - though not as stiff as the 20th - but it could also be seen as articulate. Definitely a great sound!

If you have the chance though, definitely try these amps before you jump on one. Try it the way you plan on using it; that might save you some time.
 
I've owned a 2 101bs but never a classic or 20th. The 20th x price tag is still too high on a used. Waiting for it to drop some more. I have seen classics go for 2k these days. That's a little easier on the wallet.

Thanks for the input guys.
