...or perhaps just the "plexi mode" from the Ecstacy???

not sure
the plexi mode is only 2 gain stages
maybe the blue or the strato channel of the fish (that's almost pretty much the same), with the plexi mode being the low input? (skipping one stage)
but it looks like a 20th ann shiva without a clean channel

激レアのBogner
数年前にBognerの工房でホコリを被って置きっぱなしになっていたこのアンプの事が気になり、ラインホルドに売って欲しいと打診し手に入れたアンプ。
そのままでは使えなかったのでオーバーホールを施してから日本に送ったこのアンプが 数人のギタリストの手に渡り 最終的にプロギタリスト/チャーリー田中さんの手元に来たそうです。6L6を搭載しその旨味を充分に堪能出来る素晴らしいサウンドのアンプです。

Brad Whitfordの為にカスタムメイドされた逸品なので、世界に１台しか存在しない激レアなアンプです！

My (very) loose translation:
This is a very rare bogner,
many years ago at the bogner factory there was an amp in the back corner that was covered with dust I heard someone was really interested in this amp and asked R.Bogner to sell it to them.
it couldn't be used as it was and needed an over haul and was then was sent to Japan. it was sluted around Japan a while like some people here on rig talk whore amps and it ended up with a pro guitarist named Charlie Tanaka (I have no fucking clue who that is) It is loaded with 6L6 and sounded great.

This amp was custom made for Brad Whitford. The only one in the world.

Jorg told me that the amp was built for Brad and is basically a Fender Tweed on steroids. Brad did not end up buying it, so it was bought by the Japan distributor

hummm... The from LA site (and the seller on yahoo auction copied and pasted from the from LA site) says literally "custom made for Brad Whitford" so yeah doesn't actually say he owned it... technically correct but might be misleading for some people......
