Bogner

collapse expand iconDescription

The Bogner 20th Anniversary XTCA tube guitar amp head celebrates 20 years of Bogner USA. Bogner considers this the new "Flagship" in the Ecstasy line. It offers the most organic and open sound yet.

Bogner bought all available boutique capacitors, went trough the Ecstasy's entire audio signal chain and incorporated them. The 20th Anniversary XTCA has its own pre amp circuit. The pre EQ's 2 and 3 have been shifted and a vintage/modern switch lets you choose the overall flavor of Channels 2 and 3. The plexi channel has slightly more gain and a foot controllable boost was added to expand the amp to have six sounds on tap via your foot. Boost is engaged with the same switch as Channels 2 and 3. Emphasis was taken to the boosted mode which gives you more gain with nice, balanced frequencies and compression. Power amp dampening was adjusted to compliment the new pre amp design.
