View Previous opinion, everything has t say, and it is saying something!

For résumé may be, there are three channels:
Green-light =
Blue = crunch
Red = Saturbr />
The Green&#39;s qualisation its own, red and blue have to share the deuxime.

This config actually quite simple addition a whole bunch of little switches, which act on DIFFERENT channels, which are modes of legalization or "brightness" pr-Intgr (thus optimized s) in the amp.

All this can come in Class A or Class AB, in "OLD" or "New" in full power or 1 / 2.

UTILIZATION

A quantity of rglages important, especially when adding the interaction of rglages them. amp actually difficult not to ring, (it still sounds good), but Fully explore.
That said, the number of rglages is not for the pub, as on some amps, never betrays the sound, and do not dfie the laws of the electronics. On the other end of the design, each switch, each knob has its place and influence in the signal chain is optimized.
While still trs class. While both trs effective, each rglage is subtle, none is superfluous.

The manual is Submitted as a pretty cool little tutorial that allows to explore DIFFERENT modes of the amp. Not bad for beginners.

To return to the complexity of the amp, which repels certain:
Personally, I have tamper dtest lot of Settings, for example, rpt, or, in the scales of a concert, my sound to fit the circumstances. We are always presss by time, others get impatient and begin play in their corner while I brace my galre mdiums (I play in a group of 7 zikos, an era is t was 10) ... In the end we did not have time to ask for REALLY rgler his live sound requirements. Before I was using a good multi-effects, I do not touch more because of a. I am flmme. When I see the rack of some professional scratch, I have cold sweats. BREF.
And of course the Bogner, I finally understood all rglages, and know their influence. Basically I just found my prs sound. But when I am asked to get used live or in rpt (too much this, not enough of that ...), the Bogner and design, although far from being a handicap, are of a very effective. L o with another config stuff, I galrais, the I rflchis a dry, bim, if I was too aggressive crunch, I put the blue channel plexi, I put a pr eq B2, and a bit more gain, and it is softer without losing gniak.
C&#39;tait such a con, but in short, everything that has all these little buttons, once maitriss, can get everything you want, without mangling the other rglages , and 3 seconds watch in hand ...

So for me it&#39;s much Designed trs.

Note again that it&#39;s solid, well screwed. Mine would be a 3rd to see a 4th hand. it dates from 2003 if I remember correctly. The lamps are original, and still operate niquel (that&#39;s what happens when one cares, especially when they are well mounted and biased by the developer base. And the circuit the emploit is Designed Obviously (and circuits pourraves even scandalous, even dangerous, in brands, there is!).

SOUNDS

Tsssssss!

Just standard. As aa t say, you can do everything ... Clear Channel is sublime, with low down. We can keep trs clear day you can also ensure to cruncher, you just make it funky, jazzy ...
the blue like this, there is something to eat. It can go from vintage trs trs mordern. Trs red can push further and win. I say this because c&#39;tait important to me before you buy this amp. In the end, I gradually realized far in my use trs rock, I lowered increasing the gain for what I wanted ... Now I put half and yes, in fact, to have a sound that pte, most of the time, was not the gain that is important. This is the signal spectrum, the ability of the amp out each frquence cleanly and clearly. The stuff on which I played (for distortion pedals and amp), had never given the opportunity to realize it ... Trs cras always compress the slurry noise. Bogner thank you! a distortion that pte&#39;s mre. Always prcis trs, trs grainy, trs hot. With the gain at max, and the boost, you lose I find neat, but the sound is harmonic pt.
In short, we can do anything. Except possibly be getting the desired sound by some mtalleux, namely one synthetic and icy. Of course, I&#39;m not talking about what would happen if we added even if only one of the pedals in the ass amp.

What I like with this head is that I know the day I want to ride a HXC punk band, I would not change the amp, pedals or a purchase of anything whatsoever. I also know that if it takes me the desire to go to the many blues roots, one can cradingue, a will be the same thing. Likewise if I wanted to jazz electric well rounded, but slamming, trs clear with nice bass .... In short, it is ultra versatile, has done.

The amp, which is the least of things the great respect that level guitar. It biensur far from being always the case. I use a Gibson Les Paul Studio, which has a key and a mahogany body bne: everything you need for a dark and rather dull. with it, I&#39;ll be even, thanks to the possibilities of Bogner, shine my sound, but the crunch, for example, will crmeux trs, and if I want to make aggressive to push their earnings do not forcment Russia, it will directly employ the best boost, or play on the qualisation for snapping sound.
I recorded a whole album with ecstasy, and I had the opportunity to plug a fender telecaster key stocky, short, opposite the gibson: slamming, trs brilliant. Well in addition to this basic diffrence, the receiver does not Ragit the same Manir. The crunch channel for example, will acquire the CHARACTERISTICS of the tl of any Manir, and management of sound on the amp will no longer be on the same paramtres as for the Les Paul. Increase the gain of crunch Russia for example tl much better that the Gibson. It will look empty for a long time voluent those in high-end amps, but always remember INTERESTED for others.

No problem to play trs low volume, you can enjoy the sound, it keeps its nuances, this is good what! And when I say low volume trs, trs it down! But even in the rpt, I never grows as a sal. I needed an amp that works well low / medium volume: niquel for Bogner.

Finally, I use a cab with 2 * 12 oversized Bogner (I have not sought to understand):
The sound is ... Comfortable. It s&#39;insre in the mix of live. He never breaks the ears (well, when we want we can, empty). Braille has not ever sang. The low mode PREQ "LOOSE", are just beautiful, whatever the channel, and never the dull hum and unbearable, which messes up the whole sound, and I&#39;ve often heard elsewhere ... In short: a lot has to noreilles the end of the rpt.

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year.
Before I had a few amplifiers based (marshall combo, a Fender combo, something from H & K. .. and a few pedals) ... I tried a few things ... In short, I do not have an exprience of a transcendent point of view stuff. However, has been a while since I played, especially in groups. And has sharpened my ear. I started random stuff I&#39;ve had the hands, concerts, etc., determine my tastes, and the source of my problem&#39;s. I started like many want a lot of gain, bass, thing, thing ... But now I pig.
I can not say whether the Bogner is better than this or that high-end amp. I just know qu&#39;intrinsquement, this amp is the ultimate. it is gnial.
Personally, I&#39;m not a guy who changes his gear all the time, has stuff myself. I found a perfect amp. I have no doubt that if I want to direct it towards a particular sound as and the evolution of my life as a musician, I will follow. leaves help by changing the lamps pramp. Besides if I am in 20m, Fauch I do not sell, it is part of the furniture now!
If I had to make another choice is the one without the hsitation, I would do!
