Ask a professional guitar player (Edward Van Halen, Steve Vai, Jerry Cantrell, George Lynch, Joe Satriani, etc.) who is the best amp technician/designer in the world, and they will likely say Reinhold Bogner. Ask any one of us mortals who owns one of his Bogner Amps and we will rightly agree. Reinhold is one of those rare designers who builds not only with his mind but also, more importantly, with his ears. When somebody says, "No one builds a channel switching/Master Volume amp that sounds as good as a non-Master amp," they haven't heard a Bogner Amp. Literally hundreds of his amps have graced concert stages and album tracks without anyone knowing, (sometimes inside the cabinets of other manufacturer's amps so as not to offend a player's endorser!). Reinhold has developed a modest but powerful product line that has been distilled from years of real-world amp knowledge ranging from the simple, Class A, single channel Duende to the ultimate, high-powered, triple channel amp, the Ecstasy. Similarly, his speaker cabinets have also become "the standard" in critical studio and stage applications and make a great upgrade for other amplifiers - everything from the ultra-portable "Cube" 1x12 to the very best 4x12 cab in the business. If you can only own one amp, Bogner Amps are the way to go. It may be the best amplifier investment you'll ever make.

Tonal treasure is the new Bogner Duende Amp, a giant leap forward in the quest for a versatile lower wattage Channel switching, Reverb and Tremolo "grab and go" amp. This is comfortable in either the living room or with the 15 watts blazing at a sweaty juke-joint jam. A Musical Sherpa that can artfully carry one from vintage clean tones or sweetly organic edge of breakup grind to chunky British higher gain. Honeysuckle sweet to burnin' Moonshine - you decide how to set the two channels or COMBINE both channels so the Gain, Volume and EQ controls become interactive.
An incredible range of radical gain and EQ options are available such as: Shimmering American vintage cleans, greasy tweedy thick mids and grind, forward shifted juicy midrange like vintage lapsteel/harp amps, British higher gain hotrod tones with focused lows. This has a beautiful dynamic tube Sag and Compression that feels great to play and is really connected to your picking hand's attack. Other features include a tube buffered Effects Loop and Compensated Recording Output. Both single coil and humbucking pickups will have a tone feast through the Bogner Duende Amp as it breathes effortlessly...

The Bogner 2x12 Closed Back Cab is a modern classic - This can rival most 4x12s in sound coverage and the closed back gives you just a little more on the low end. The best thing, aside from the killer sound here, is that the Bogner 2x12 Closed Back Cab is much, much easier to transport than any 412! Chalk it up to Bogner ingenuity.

This Bogner Shiva Amp features two highly evolved channels, capable of clean tones that shimmer like icicles in the deep of winter moonlight and tube saturation that is so rich and powerful it should be illegal in the free world. Foot-switchable boost function for both channels, variable for channel 2.6L6 models are 60 watts and have a touch more lowend/highend extension that's more American-style. The Shiva also has a Tube-buffered series FX-Loop. 1x12 Combo features a newly designed and revolutionary ported speaker enclosure that sounds very full, almost like a 4x12 cabinet. There is more than enough bass response to rearrange your living room furniture, if needed.
