Description

Reinhold's La Grange pedal is designed to emulate the famous "plexi" amplifier tones, which every legendary guitarist has played at one time or another. The La Grange features a wide variety of tone shaping tools including switches for gain, variac, presence and structure. Knobs include volume, gain, tone and a channel blend which simulates the two channels of a 4 input 67-69 plexi amplifier. Unlike the Ecstasy red and blue pedals, the La Grange offers an independent boost with level adjust and an expression pedal input which lets you connect the output of a volume pedal to control the gain of the LaGrange.

Reinhold designed the La Grange pedal with an op-amp input, followed by five discrete Class A gain stages and incorporated Germanium diode clipping. This approach minimizes the input noise floor while retaining touch sensitivity and clarity even at higher gain levels.

The La Grange is powered by a standard 9V battery or 9V power supply. Reinhold’s advanced circuitry internally elevates the voltage a substantially higher level providing a greater dynamic range.

Premium components include: Double sided gold plated circuit boards, German WIMA capacitors, Japanese Nichicon capacitors and gold plated relays, Carling switches and more

Power: 9 volt DC negative tip power connector or internal 9v battery. Unit is designed for 9 volt DC power supply only.

Low Battery
Indicator: When the battery voltage drops below a usable threshold, all LEDs will start blinking and soon after, the pedal will automatically switch to bypass mode. Immediately replace the battery when this blinking occurs. This low battery voltage indicator utilizes a digital circuit but carries no audio signal. Bogner pedals utilize a 100% pure analog circuit for all audio signals.

Features

  • True bypass
  • Independent boost with level adjust
  • Master Controls: Gain, Volume, Tone and Channel Blend
  • Channel Blend simulates the two channels of a 4 input '67–'69 plexi amplifier
  • Variac On/Off switch: adds a “dropped voltage” dynamic compression to the feel and sound for that elusive Brown sound
  • Gain Switch: Low, Medium and High gain levels
  • Presence Switch: "H" is high, for a more open and bright tone. "L" is low for a more rounder tone with milder high frequencies
  • Structure Switch: The smaller black dot refers to a tight and focused gain structure. The open circle delivers a loose and fat gain structure. The solid large black dot refers to a gain structure in between the other two extremes
  • Jacks: input, output and exp. The expression pedal input lets you connect the output of a volume pedal which can control the gain of the LaGrange
  • Low Battery Indicator: LEDs blink when battery voltage drops below critical threshold

    Easy to use, sounds good, and well built. I just got it and I'm still getting use to it. But so far I have no complaints.

  • Incredibly well Made

    Extremely versatile for capturing a wide range of tones and gain structure from clean to Tone-bender-esque fuzz. Everything in between has a distinctly British plexi vibe that covers late 60s-70s classic rock tone to 90s shoegaze. I play mine through a Vox amp, which I feel pairs very well. This pedal is great for just the tube EQ alone!

  • It's the one you want.

    I have owned this pedal since it was first released in 2016. It has remained on my board as my number one overdrive. Many pedals have tried to dethrone it, to no avail. This is the best overdrive pedal in all of the Bogner range, and I would dare say of most overdrives on the market because it really can do it all from low to high gain and all in between tones. It really has the sag and feel of the amp it is emulating. The ONLY pedal I have heard online that comes even close is the new Origin Effects Compact Revival Drive Hot Rod edition, but that pedal costs nearly $400, but that does sound pretty awesome. I will be doing an a/b comparison soon, but until then this Bogner LaGrange is killer.

  • WOW

    This pedal really does capture the overdriven tones of the late 60s — mid 70s. Such a wide range too, from clean to borderline fuzz. The channel blend knob acts as a tube EQ, which is great for coloring your sound. Honestly this is my favorite pedal. I've owned it for almost 4 years now, and no problems. Bottom line, if you want classic rock overdrive THIS IS THE ONE.

  • Best overdrive if you can only own one

    Fantastic Marshall tone with lots of variety: clean with character, add slight edge, classic rock and 80s.

  • This is it!

    If you are looking for THAT SOUND, you know Billy Gibbons Francine, Jeff Beck Truth, SRV, etc. this is it. You can dial it in so that if you are working at low volumes you still get THAT SOUND. If you are able to play loud enough to drive the tubes on your amp you just dial everything back a bit and you still get THAT SOUND. I cant believe I waited this long to find this. Don't be deterred by the price, if you want THAT SOUND then skip lunch for a month and buy this. You will not be sorry.
