I don't like the Bogner tone. It sounds better in the mix though but still I can't dig that tone...

You can't go wrong with any of these amps as they are all have their own unique vibes going on. My current favorite is the Marsha. It has a more of that old school cranked Marshall vibe than the SLO and XTC. :rock:
 
[/quote]YES. The new XTC and SLO tracks sound better. Especially the SLO track. Honestly, as far as the tone on your 3 recordings go, It's a 3 way coin toss for me. They all sound very similar and really good. Live in the room I'm sure it would be much easier for me to pick a favorite.[/quote]

Hard to pick a favorite, they all do their own thing extreemly well. The Bogner has a low mid congestion which is hard to tame, the guitar used here was a little dark sounding, so to be fair the XTC would have sounded better using a brighter guitar. The Marsha and SLO have more low end thump, the SLO is tightest the Marsha is the most "classic" sounding. Sorry to re record but I felt the original clips weren't doing justice to the STO or XTC. Having said that the Marsha clip was originally recorded quickly in one take, it's played a liitle looser, I didn't roll back the guitar voulume in the verses and the gain is probably a little high. (The Marsha will clean up on the guitar volume just as well as the other two).
Any of these amps will kill, comes down to personal preference, I could take any to a gig or rehersal, just depends on what I feel like on the day. Oh, one more thing to note is , the Marsha and XTC both have new tubes, the SLO is due for new tubes. Hope this helps for anyone who is amp hunting.

Bogners are my favorite amps bar none, but - and I mean no disrespect to the OP - I'd set mine up differently for that clip. For me it would have to be a Les Paul with B on the blue channel, gain around 2:30.

For this clip though, I think it would be very tough to beat that Marsha!
 
Well done man ...the playing and tones remind me of why I took up the guitar in the first place!
What speaker box did u use?

Thanks. The speaker box is a front loaded Soldano straight quad. EVH GB's in the top (miced) and V30's in the bottom. It's a little on the bright side , being front loaded. The XTC would most likely sound better with the V30 miced FWIW.
