GC Score! $1,300 Bogner Uberschall, Possible Original

[Bad.Seed]

A couple observations:

Gain knob does, in fact, basically go from off to on. Power cable is attached. Leather handle.

The master and channel volumes really need to be cranked to get loud. Oddly, the treble acts very strange. When it's turned up, the amp gets very scoopy and buzzy. When it's turned down it acts as both a volume and mid boost. I like the amp better with the treble rolled back, but I don't recall having read that info about the treble knobb.

Is this normal, or is something goofy there?

EQ on an Uberschall is goofy. Presence acts like a mid scoop control, treble is like presence, mid is like treble (I think), etc.

I'm not sure about the volume thing though. The clean channel does need channel volume cranked to balance with the lead channel, but the amp should be very loud without high master volume settings. Sounds like something isn't right there.

Normal for first run, I had one of the first in 2000/2001 didn't like it at all but some people did.

Had to get Greg at bogner walk me through drilling a hole in a solder trace to make the channel volumes equal, still didn't jive with it but it was made for down tuning etc not my thing. I will say I got good sounds from the clean side with various od/ dist pedals. The clean side reminded me of a Marshall super bass weird huh? Still not enough for me to keep for what I payed bought a shiva

Lynch sounded worse playing these imo

The rev blue acts as your description states, but this one is different. Presence actually acts like presence and the treble knob does some weird shit but I've been making it work just fine haha.
