Clips of my 50 watt Bogner Cantrell/Snorkler like modded amp

[Jeff Hilligan]

Can't sound good its a horizontal input 800

cool amp sounds great, very interesting. You guys should really invest in a zoom q3hd or something that can capture the bottom end, the clips never have any bottom.

Can't sound good its a horizontal input 800

if you gut it and totally rework it, it can be nasty, or leave it as is just extra work and I don't prefer them or do as bogner did and add boards ...

The level of this thread now is "Secret 1" I can no longer discuss the options or features of this amp except what was shown in the video.

Actually truth is that there was a lot of cool and unique things done to this amp that out of respect for the people that worked on it they asked that I not say much more.

No new clips till next week sometime while me and my "friend" try to learn the riff to "Die Young" so we can play it on the next ones. Also if you want you can always subscribe to the channel it's just clips of different amps that I come across and sometimes I don't post threads or updates here when I put up new clips.

Played the clips through a few different PCs when on Youtube, some with good speakers capture the bass really well. Yeah, I plan on getting a SM57 and micing a proper cab in the future but I find it ironic how my iPhone4S Youtube clips sound just as good if not better as some people's properly mic'd/mixed/mastered clips. It's equivalent to bareback listening.

Look at the amp through the plexi glass at the right side, see the three preamp tubes? Now look at the stock preamp tube socket, notice no tube?

Cock Tease ...

I know what u mean tho, ive wanted to show gut shots of my Friedman for 2 years but won't outta respect for Dave.

 

[Michi]

sounds very, VERY good !

Cool, thanks for the positive replies.

I plan on turning the channel into a archive of all the amps that I come across or go through my hands. I could not do this without the help of my mysterious yet anonymous "friend" who loves playing in the clips you hear.

Look for original fully loaded Mesa IIC+ longhead clips and 95 Blueface Diezel clips coming in the near future.

Just a FYI, I don't really want to turn the direction of this thread but it's about some of the crap I had to go through to get it restored.

When I originally called Bogner about this head back in 2010 the guy I spoke to on the phone was really cool. European accent, i think his name started with a "S" but I really wish I could remember it...

Anyways I told him I had a head coming in from Germany and would like it gone through have it set from 220 to 110 etc. and asked if they could get Reinhold to confirm it by either a letter or signing the chassis and getting a logo for the headshell. The guy said they normally wont do something like that but he said he would do it for me and to ship the head down when I get it, at the understanding I would be paying their hourly bench rate. I was totally cool with that and was totally stoked.

Anyways about two months later I had to go down to LA for business anyways so I thought I would just bring the head with me and walk in there to drop it off. What a huge mistake that was.

I walked in with the head and instead of a "Oh cool, a old Bogner Marshall!" it was more of a "What the fuck do you want, we dont really service heads made over 20 years ago." I began to explain the situation... I was then berated by the person in charge at the shop saying that they are not there to help me get a letter so I can "flip the amp on Ebay". He asked who I spoke with on the phone but for the life of me I could not remember their name other than it started with a S(unusual sounding European name). So dude just goes to find broken Bogner logo to give me so that I would go away.

That's where I got the logo you see on the amp. No, it was not Bogner that helped with restoration of the amp. I never got to speak with Reinhold or show him the amp. I was at one time a loyal customers of theirs buying a new Fish reissue when they first came out, Ubercab, XTC etc... I no longer purchased any new products from Bogner since then after the way I was treated.

I guess I should be happy I got a logo out of them after all. You know since I am going to flip this amp on Ebay.

FYI for the record I will not be selling this amp on Ebay anytime soon.

Thats pretty shitty but im not surprised frankly.
Reinhold strikes me as the "Mad Scientist" type. Although a genius, after seeing a video tour of his shop it looked ADHD and like a sheltered workshop for the mentally challeged.
Bogner modded Marshalls are prolly a scourge to Reinhold and something he prolly wants to forget now that he a Billionaire.

The cool thing about getting my JMP modded was Dave took the time to answer every one of my emails, he answered the phone. One time i called to check on my amp and Rob said "i got Slash from Europe on the other line can u hold" ? Imma like ahh...sure.

Friedman made me feel just as important as Jerry Cantrell and it just showed alot of class.

I was never expecting that, it was just an added benefit.

If u ever had an issue with the Snorkler im sure there's nothing Dave couldn't take care of.
Frankly the amp designs the last 10 years being mass produced by Bogner don't interest me in the least. Especially the MIC crap.

Bogner has "jumped the shark" IMO.

Thats an unfortinate situation indeed. Maybe they knew of your association with Mr. C and treated you poorly because of it ? No matter, customer service like that is unacceptable. Many of these small time boutique builders (which Reinhold was at one time), whom later become quite successful often forget their roots and the people that helped them along the way.

 

[charveldan]

I always thought this Bogner Marshall was a Bitchin amp ... not sure if its a Snorkler tho.

When I used to work in sales..."treat every customer like the first"...apparently not at Bogner..

In 2010 I was a nobody associated with nobody and I still consider myself a nobody.

Not trying to bash Reinhold as a person as I have never met him just giving my experience with the company and the customer service when I walked in off the street, maybe I walked in on a bad day but it is what it is.

One thing I hate about the sound of that clip, see how he has the knob(presence) on the far left dimed and never changes it.

 

[MOOSEHEADS]

But now you are a nobody with a Bogner Snorkler.

Nobody else can say that better than a nobody!

I get it Dan, you're a big fan of Friedman but for some of us its just not our thing. I think he does well enough that you don't need shill for him in every other post.

Friedman is all about Marshalls and so am i.

Forgive me about talking about amps on an amp forum.

Ill stick to Boogeras & Impedance questions.


Maybe Bogner gave you a hard time cuz yer a jerk ?

That's a bit harsh....I mean I had a BE modded Marshall with a SAT switch..nice amp..asked Dave to do a loop and simple clean and it was almost as much as buying another stock 800 lol..he is a nice guy that takes care of his clients. But ultimately the amp just didn't have what I really wanted so off it went..I haven't heard any Friedman sound even close to this Bogner modded Marshall though..to each their own..

My Marshall still sounds like a Marshall thats why i chose Dave ...

I bet EXP's Bogner would rock with KT-88's, thats what Cantrell runs in his 50 watt Marsha's.
