Which of these 2 amps would you choose?

[NaturalBornBoy]

Bogner Ecstasy 101B or the PWE EH3?

Go

Hands down the EH3

The XTC is way too compressed

Never played the pwe but I would have to pick it. The clips I have heard have been stellar and gas inducing.

No love for the 101B???

Bogner. Every experience I've had with PWE has been less than positive.

Never spent any time with a PWE... I am a fan of Bogners though.

I played my friends 101B the other day, robotechnology. I've complained in the past about the red channel on the XTC, but everything sounded great when I played it this time. I never thought the XTC was to compressed and still don't feel that way. It's got it's own thing going on which is that low mid growl. I think it it would be fine in a band mix if EQ'd for it. We had it on a Port City OS 2x12 with silverbell speakers. Organic, woody, chewy are ways to describe the XTC. Some love that some don't.

Judging by clips the PWE sounds a bit more Marshally. But the XTC has stood the test of time and 20 years later it's still here and in demand.

Someone is selling a PWE in the classifieds, looks like he only owned it for 2 weeks or so.

How do you now this isn't "richeddie" under an alternate moniker?

PWE sounds great but I agree about it being in the "High Dollar British" camp. Many less expensive, well built options for that. The 101B would be my choice.

 

[se7en]

Had a 101b, own a 20th XTC. Of those two, the 101b would be my choice, but keep in mind it is very smooth and has a looser feel and more bloom to the attack, than the immediacy of a Marshall.

Hey dude, I think we started off on the wrong foot. Why don't you drop by the shop sometime, always great to meet fellow Montreal guitar players.

Will you beat me up?
When I say flavour, it can still be a good flavour; hopefully you can stick around and make your mark like Bogner, Soldano and other top builders
