An Andalusian term for a ''special grace'' in music. Duende can not be learned or achieved by any means; it's a gift from birth. Either you have it... or you don't.
The DUENDE, a tonal treasure, a giant leap forward in the quest for a versatile lower wattage channel switching, Reverb and Tremolo "grab and go" amp.
Comfortable in either the living room or 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 and 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. The DUENDE has a beautiful dynamic tube Sag and Compression that feels great to play and is
really connected to your picking hands attack. Other features include a tube buffered Effects Loop and Compensated Recording Output.
Both single coil or humbucker pickups will have a tone feast through the DUENDE as it breathes effortlessly....

Bogner Ecstasy Head |
|
As infinite as the universe, as deep as our souls, the ECSTASY allows the mortal to travel these roads...
Our Ecstasy series heads were designed to breath like sweet old amps...all living in one box. The standard features of our Ecstasy 101 allow the ''DNA'' of the 3 distinctly voiced channels
to be radically morphed into sounds of the past, present and future. The Ecstasy comes with either EL34 or 6L6 power tubes and by using Bogner's
foot-switch, you can access 6 tuned variations of these channels instantly. Imagine going from our notorious barking Plexi mode, to the greasiest,
harmonically chewy overdrive and then washing it all down with the lushest most decadent clean tone. The Ecstasy 101 comes standard with an amazing
array of controls: 1/2 power switch, Old/New style switch, 3-way Excursion switches to control speaker cabinet dampening, two presence controls (one assignable),
gain boost, Plexi-mode, Structure, Three Pre-EQ switches, Tube buffered series/parallel FX loop. See our manual below for details.

Bogner Ecstasy 20th Anniversary Head |
|
In 2009 we celebrated our 20th year of Bogner USA and wanted to create something special for our amplifier line; enter the 20th Anniversary Ecstasy model.
We consider this model to be the new "Flagship" in the Ecstasy line with the most organic and open sound yet.
Available as an option to the base model the 20th Anniversary has a plexi panel with gold background and is housed in a slightly larger head shell for an
iconic and classic vintage vibe. To further celebrate our 20 year anniversary this series is offered in white tolex with a classic salt & pepper grill at no
additional up charge which applies to the cabinet as well if ordered together with a head. All other color and grill options are available for the usual up charge,
however the Metal Grill option is not available.
The 20th Anniversary is Bogner's finest evolution of the Ecstasy line that started with the 100B, then 101B, and Classic Options. However, the 20th Anniversary model features
it's own unique circuit and many refinements never before seen. In the past few years many new boutique capacitors have come on the market such as the Sozo brand which
focus on replicating the vintage toneful capacitors from the 60's. These new capacitors are very expensive and mostly hand made in their construction so we were
intrigued to hear how they sounded. We purchased all the available brands and meticulously went trough the entire audio signal chain of our Ecstasy circuit
incorporating these vintage style capacitors into the design. However, once this process started, we quickly realized that replacing the capacitors was only the
beginning. Additional circuit adjustments and refinements were implemented to maximize the vintage tonal character of these new capacitors, which all together,
give the new 20th Anniversary it's massive, iconic Golden-Era of Ecstasy tone.
Now does this mean the other Ecstasy's have lower grade capacitors? No not at all, we use the German made Wima capacitors and these are the best tonal choice for
different circuit designs. Especially for pc mount construction in highly complex circuits where space is a concern. Look into your old Vox and you will see classic
Wima branded capacitors. It's not just about replacing components, but rather, how you integrate the components into the overall circuit making fine-tune adjustments
to balance and blueprint the final design. Every component must be considered, and optimized depending on the circuit, to work effortlessly together in reaching Bogner's
goal of creating an inspiring amplifier for you.
Additional refinements have been made including:
The pre EQ's 2 and 3 have been shifted and a vintage modern style switch lets you decide the overall flavor of Channel 2 and 3, bypassed when in the plexi mode.
The plexi channel has slightly more gain and a foot controllable boost was added which expands the amp to have 6 sounds on tap via your foot. Boost is engaged with the same switch as for Channel 2 and 3.
The clean channel has been changed; special emphasis was taken to the boosted mode which gives you more gain with nicely balanced frequencies and compression.
Power amp dampening was adjusted to compliment the new pre amp design, the Excursion switches so to speak.
The 20th Anniversary amp was designed and features 6L6 power amp tubes but other configurations are available as a custom order.
