Bogner Red & Wampler Triple Wreck pedals

[C1-ocaster]

Recently I picked up 2 pedals I've wanted to try at home, the Bogner Ecstasy Red and Wampler Triple Wreck.
I'm working on getting some audio clips up, or the pedals and my Vengeance head.

Both of these pedals are really awesome.
It's amazing how good the tones are, and the distortion can go from mild to really hot with no fizzy/fuzzy mess like some distortion pedals give.

I'm running them into my Egnater Vengeance head.
The clean channel on the Vengeance is awesome and makes a great platform for these pedals.
I can't pick a winner out of these 2 pedals cause both are really great.
The Bogner is a bit more versatile having more tone shaping options. The Wampler is a high gain monster crunch machine.
Red pedal gives awesome distortion with brighter mids, and the Triple does the darker tone beautifully.
I think for now both pedals are staying on my board.

The Vengeance head has it's own excellent high gain tone going on from the high gain channel.
I've got a LOT of distortion tones now, and I like it.
Now I can stop rolling through amps for a long while and actually get some more quality playing time.

I've never had a chance to play through a Bogner Ecstasy of any version.
Those of you who have, and who may have tried the Red Ecstasy pedal too, how would you compare the gain and tones from the pedal to the real thing?

Here's a demo I did for the Ecstasy Red:

Wow, that sounds killer in the demo. Really nice note definition with the high-gain stuff.

Agreed on both pedals... I've always hated pedal distortion and finally took a chance on both of these as well. I also run my favorite clean boost in front of them as well, lowering the pedal gain to compensate. Sounds awesome.... same result with the bogner blue pedal, although I found that the tone-shaping controls on the blue were finicky for me and I could only find a few tones that I personally really liked. The blue is a more open sound and is different enough from the red for me to justify keeping both. Different flavours....

It's been 8 years since I've had an XTC, but the pedal tones are probably at least 90 percent of the voicing of the amp. The amp of course is much bigger sounding, and much more present were you to hear the pedal and amp side-by-side.
