Bogner 100B vs 101B in 2023

[Rdodson]

Very cool. Is it $3000 better than what you can get a 101b for?

You know, when you’re getting an amp like this…you are choosing to participate in the history of Bogner. I am such a fan of what those guys do I have owned so many Bogners and to be able to have one of the very first ones that is special like this is worth the premium to me. Is it strictly a value proposition? I don’t know — I won’t ever lose money on this amp, that’s for sure.

Thanks! I picked up the newer XTC 50w with the updated switches last week and it has been a blast to play. So many sounds in this thing and so many ways to change things up. Maybe someday I will try out the big boy now that I have this example of the sounds.

Looking forward to the video.

I have had all versions of Ecstasy's and many multiples and all things considered for my needs the 50 Watt with the new switches is the best of them all. I used mine with a band yesterday. Left my pedal board in it's case and played for 3 1/2 hours straight without missing any sounds. Ran a Delverb in loop. It's all there. Such a great amp. Loop is fantastic. Cleans and mid-gain as well as high gain tones are great. Footswitchable Boost is very useful.

Totally agreed.

Here we go:

Hey Ron what delay are you using in your Bogner 100B video? Could you share your settings, the delay sits very nice? Delay time, feedback, modulation, level?

 

[Rdodson]

I use the DelVerb, but I have a Collider, a Bel Epoch and an El Capistan. They are all good.

I use the tape setting, and the plate reverb.

I’m set to 2 repeats (like 1 & a half) and I tap the temp to Panama.

The mix is just enough to give a bounce. I like a little age and warble on the tape just enough to give a tiny bit of chorus not enough to distract.

Do you know what % level of modulation you are using simulate tape warble?

Nice! I have not gone to the 'Dark Side' i.e. Bogner yet. I've played an Uber at a GC ten yrs back; pretty cool but not for me.
Are you selling both? Or keeping one?
