Thanks. No idea on the mod - I bought it used as is.

It's just midi bass played from my Roland JV-1010, but I did double the bass with the rythm guitars.

 

[amiller]

Wow, very in you face...cool!

Does the JCA22 have a depth knob on the back? If so it might be his double duce....I've recently been in contact with him and am thinking of sending mine to him for a mod.

Sounds wicked by the way!!

This was a one off Brain did (at least I think this is the amp) below is what he posted on facebook. After emailing him, I'm pretty sure this is the only one that will be made. He said A LOT of work went into this one. I think Pete scored a pretty nice amp here.

Is this the amp, Pete? It looks like the one.

"I just got done working over a Bogner XTC...I decided to mod this 22H to make it like the modded version of it's big brother...It is NOT a copy of a production XTC. It has similar switches...Structure, Boost, Excursion plus a gain voicing on the OD channel and a Frequency shift on the presence. I just put in new tubes yesterday and what a great sounding amp. This is just a one-off that is now for sale. Email me for details." BFG Amplification facebook page

I don't think it has a depth knob on the back...I'll have to check when I get home. It does have a Loose/Tight/Middle switch though. The "tight" setting is very dark, but you can flip up the "q" switch and it adds upper mids. It has gain boost switch. It has a structure switch too, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Maybe it affects the clean side which I haven't even turned on yet. I really haven't fucked around with it much...I just got a tone I liked and tried to record it.

Yes, sir. That's it. I bought it off ebay. Here's the description from the auction...

Here is a Excellent 2012 BFG AMP Modded JetCity JCH22h.

The Features are:

2 Channels.

STRC pin switch on front is Structure Gain boost on each channel, toggle UP is "on".
BOOST is assignable boost per channel. Center is both channels boosted and flipping to one channel or another selects that channel only for this function.
OD GAIN is for the OD channel only. This selects the gain type. Center is classic mode, left is post 2004 mode and right is the BFG mode.
TLM is speaker dampening modes. L is looser setting, while T is a bit darker, tighter feel, and M is in between.
Q Adjustment alters the range , UP adds more midrange, to allow shaping of the upper frequencies. Changing the TLM will also affect this, so there are lots a great settings. Even has WIMA caps that Bogner uses in his XTC amp.
This amp is NEW MINT, new EL84 power tubes and chineese 12ax7b's for pre's.
Comes with power cord and footswitch.

This amp fantastic boutique like tones Fender like Cleans to Soldano Crunch.
Buyer pays for insured shipping.

Man, I missed it. Good score, Pete. I tried to buy this off Brian when he posted it on facebook, but I was too late as it sold quickly.

By the way, nice clips. Sounds great!

Thanks. This is a cool little amp. I'm not saying it's going to replace my Voodoo/DSL as my #1, but I don't see me flipping it like I so often do.

BTW - FWIW I like this better than the xtc I had. This is way less spongy.

 

[tweed]

Nice score brother!!

I think you should do a clip tracking the DSL and the 22 together.

I don't Randy...that sounds like a lot of work.

 

[Lution]

Yeah, very nice score. That one was on TGP for sale too and didn't last long.

I'd love to hear you record a clip going through the switches.

You can do it duffy moon!

I agree.

I'm hoping to go over this in more depth this weekend. Also I'm very curious to hear some of his other work.
