    Bogner Duende Standard HeadPublished on 06/16/11 at 13:56
    This is the standard Duende head amp from Bogner. This isn't the custom version just the straight up Duende tone and features. It comes in a black tolex covering and a vintage looking wheat grille clothe. It matches the 20th anniversary XTC and Shiva line of amps.

    This amp is such an awesome tone monster. The tone from this amp is one of the best and most articulate amps that I have ever seen or heard. The cleans are chimey and alone make this amp worth owning. Then you get to the distortion channel and that is where this amp really reigns. The distortion is in the British flavor of tonal characteristics but has its own thing going. It i distinctively a Bogner tone and you can feel and …

The distortion is in the British flavor of tonal characteristics but has its own thing going. It i distinctively a Bogner tone and you can feel and hear it in the harmonics but this amps takes what Marshall was never able to do and devour it.

    SOUNDS

    This is premium tone at a premium cost. The amp is a bit expensive for a lot of people but one who have played a Bogner you will immediately hear and feel what you have been missing.

    This amp sounds phenomenal with any guitar in any style pickup. I feel that this amp elevates you playing to a point of coming into you own. It basically takes what you are as a player and enhances everything that you do.

    The cleans are nice and sweet like an old Fender amp from the 50's or 60's. The distortion channel is where this thing lives. The overdrive is full and warm with a touch are dark characteristics. The tone is alive to say the least. The best way to describe how you feel when playing this amp is, exuberant!

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is a fantastic amp at a fantastic price. at new these amps come in at around $2200, which isn't bad for a Bogner amp that is multiple channels. The XTC range from $3800- $4200. Granted that is the flagship amplifier for Bogner.

    I would recommend this amp to anyone who needs a solid amp and are just getting into the boutique amp world. You may never play anything else after this amp though.
