Bogner XTC with Tom Holmes Humbucker - Tony Matlock

[futarydary]

godlike tone

[dmb3305]

Honestly, this might be the best sounding guitar clip I've ever heard on Youtube. Absolutely phenomenal tone bro!!!

[mashandflutter]

I own this amp too.  Ever since I bought mine back in 2000, I haven't even been remotely interested in buying anything else or going to guitar stores. It's kind of like having a super model for a wife.

[PhilThorell]

Overwind a humbucker and you EXAGGERATE the mids.... Learn about pickups dude. Try listening to them and not reading about them.

[SonicGamer1991]

Does anybody no where I can find a bogner cube? ive been lookin everywhere for one. I the the 80s tone from the amp nice tone!

[bravia15]

is that el 34 version?

[XTC101B]

@bravia15 Yes...EL-34's

[XTC101B]

I think either one would be an excellent choice.

[EVH51510Schumi]

Man, you just nailed the tone. I actually got my self a Bogner after watching this video. Such a big, warm juicy tone!!

[Theguitarskater1]

Nice tone.

[Theguitarskater1]

Nice tone.

[edwardtang1977]

love your tone man! great playing

[westdiver03]

superthousandorgazmus!!!!! holy grave!!!

[emre31]

[Alu122112211221]

how much is this amp?

[heretic4lyfe]

Wow amazing tone.

I love this head. <33

[Junnage]

Incredible tone.

[zedrein18]

Don't fuck with da Bogner!!

[MySongman]

It sounds like my Micro Cube with it's gain turned up. j/k

[LesPaulCryBaby]

Nowai man

[nenad1974]

Hi, great tone. Do you know the value of your volume pot ? (250 or 500K)

[Ninjaturtle312123235]

price?? in germany we pay 3500€ for this head

[Ninjaturtle312123235]

such a great tone

[fallingspears77]

this is amazing! what is it exactly called and where'd you get it?

[klextacy]

Damn, that's some sweet tone!

[Perikado]

And many other brands offers a Kind of Plexi Modded Amp, ...but 2 months later i´m still thinking the same. In-cre-di-ble tone. I will save money for buy this amp.

[squalsrv]

that's what i call a tone !

[KRoegiest]

That was pure awesome!

Cheers!

[XTC101B]

Thanks. I've got a Tim Caswell modded Marshall Plexi I'm playing right now that is simply incredible. I plan on posting some clips soon.

[charlieczerwinski]

Sounds amazing - do you have to crank it to get good tone?

[knuttheotherone]

if you dont want to crank it, buy a small combo amp^^

play this one piano is like throwing the money out of the window...

[XTC101B]

You can get good tone a lower volumes, but, of course, sings when it's cranked.

[TheGamingGuitarist]

This is the best sounding Bogner I've ever heard!

[sr1129]

believe it or not paf type pickups are better for high gain, its always better to get ur gain from the tubes in the amp be it pre amp or power than from hot pups

[1108boy]

sounds insane! i think i heve to sell all of my guitars to buy this thing it's just so expensive..lol

[regenald510]

so thats a PAF style pickup. how are you getting such a nice metal tone out of a paf style pickup. what is the dc resitance?

[XTC101B]

8.3K This pickup works suprisingly well doing just about anything!

[XTC101B]

Absolutely correct!

[khargrar]

@kerranz : ultimate Truth!

Play first, watch price tag after.

Awsome playing, divine tone, thank you man.

[GroovyGuitar02]

@kerranz yeah . Vintage pickups = way to go ! richer tone , more definition and headroom ... i have an ol' strat (97) with a SH12 and a pair of fralin real 54's and it's the best thing ever . the thing beats ibanez and jackson anytime . and it's still a fender , for blues , funk and even jazz if you're not a purist ... it's hard to beat , really . Plus , i like the "hotrodded strat" look'n'feel ...plays so easy , sounds so good and versatile... rich , thick and warm tones at your fingertips ..

[GroovyGuitar02]

@kerranz (i know , i love my guitar so much i tell everyone TT)

[GonzGunner]

@kerranz -Sorry to come late to this party, but just wanted to say I totally agree with you! Everybody freaks out about how "powerful" this pickup is, how "bell clear and sweet" that one is, "this one is best for metal/country/jazz/blues" blah, blah, blah! Any good, decent, well working pickup will reproduce ALL kinds of tones great. It is the PLAYER who is the ultimate tone creator! Been playing 35 years myself. Keep On Rockin'! :)

[mmolteratx]

@kerranz Overwinding pickups doesn't take away mid range. It cuts highs. The more winds you have, the greater the inductance and capacitance you have. The two together create a resonant frequency, where everything around it is boosted and everything above it is cut dramatically. In your typical low output pickup, the resonant frequency is a several kHz. As the inductance and capacitance rise, the resonant frequency lowers and starts getting closer to the midrange.

[mmolteratx]

@kerranz As it gets closer to the midrange, there becomes an increased emphasis in the mids and less highs since they're now above the resonant frequency.

[Perikado]

It´s not necessary a high output pickup and a high gain amp. It´s a mistake.

PAF 8k or 9k + Plexy Type AMP = the best Hard Rock Sound.

[CudBucket]

Agreed. Lower output pups push the tubes.

[gbastow]

nice dude, sounds very Jake E. Leeish. I love this sound

[yakis08]

Holy shiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds amazingly fuckin' good!!!!

[Lushoverthebridge]

Can I have one ticket for this jam?

Gorgeous tone, you rock bro ;)

[AdamDallas]

TONE TONE TONE!!

[XTC101B]

How sweet it is! Thanks.

[TheMetalPolice]

Sounds amazing. Seems like I need to go to my closest re seller and check that amp out my self.

[XTC101B]

Check one out...you won't be disappointed!

[irbenjamen]

Amazing tone dude! I was just wondering why you are using a cheap dano pedal? Like the tone? Or did the amp just drain ya? Anyways, Sounds great!

[XTC101B]

Thanks...Once heard an absolutely killer tone this guitarist was getting, and it turned out he was using one of these cheap Danelectro pedals...I was floored! It seems more $ isn't always the ticket ;)

[Flyin2hawain]

i think i just jizzed myself

holy shit what a tone

[evhgl87]

much appraise to your playing and your tone bro. check out my vids, the most recent im almost embarassed of because the amp is in dire need of a fresh set of valves lol. congrats in prooving the bogner xtc 101B as my new favourite amp over soldano avenger =]

again, bro i cant say how awsome your tone is, excellent!

[rockbsad777]

Is it same guitar like this in your video "Bogner XTC Blue Channel Overdrive" ?

[XTC101B]

Same guitar.

[rockbsad777]

Great sound! What kind of fingerboard in your Strat - maple or roswood?

[kellydanig]

actually no, its a great amp, sound great to every persons ears i ask, dude not all of us have all the money in the world,

dont piss on my parade just cause your opinion sucks ass..

there i said it

[XTC101B]

I checked one out (Line 6 Spider) at Guitar Center before x-mas...sounded pretty damn good, actually! Line 6 makes some killer sounding stuff in my humble opinion...I use their effects a lot.

[Gyro911]

The spider valve cannot compare to this since its digital and sounds fake no matter how many power tubes they put in the preamp.

[kellydanig]

does the line 6 spider valve (bogner designed) even really compare to a real bogner? or is it actually considered good like a real bogner amp?

[timjatomnee]

It doesnt come close. It even sux to my ears. All line6 amps suck, why even get one?

[7stringevo]

Best tone in the FUCKING world!!!!I have $2750 saved and i cant wait to get my head! Blows away, marshall, mesa, any other shit you can throw at it! I get so pumped when i hear this video, its the best one on youtube. This is the best tone i have every heard in my life. Its to bad those pups are about $400 a piece.

[borntorun1970]

Jesus! Your Tone (with a capital T!) is phenomenal! You're a good player too, man. How many times have we youtube users looked to hear a high-end amp and the kid on guitar can barely play smoke on the water and it makes whatever amp their showcasing sound like a piece of crap. When I hear you Tone I can imagine Randy Rhoads loving this amp if he were still with us. (RIP) He's probably say, "Hey this is like my old Marshalls but way more reliable and no more muddy bass!" lol Peace, Dave

[ilovemiself32]

that bit at 0:38 is it from a song and if it is which song??

[XTC101B]

Not from any particular song...just a riff I came up with while jamming. Thanks.

[ilovemiself32]

does it have a particular key?? lol

[XTC101B]

This very Bogner XTC half stack is for sale on Ebay; $3250. Item number 140285085579.

[faimat]

yeah, nice ton man.. power tubes?

[arcodelalba]

a little question please: your head has 6l6, el34 or both power tubes?

[XTC101B]

Svetlana el34's...the best!

[faimat]

thanks, here in Argentina i never see an XTC.. only Shiva's and Uberschall's at higher prices than a XTC on US!.. damm Customs!

[bedeb88]

Nice sound!

[Kclan]

man, this is the Shit!!!

[borntorun1970]

Hey, before I say this, I want to say I LOVE the Bogner Xtc Tone, but there are at least three amps I have heard personally that have the same complex hi-gain structure, No mush in the bass (dream on Marshall users!) and sustain for days. The Carvin v3, Mark Cameron Amps, and the new 5150 "3" Eddie designed in conjunction with Fender. Bogners are great if you have the cash, but certainly aren't the only game in town, and far from a great value.

[Mahavishnu80]

no get a randall mts with the XTC module plus blackface and a plexi should be about 1500-1800

[XTC101B]

Randall rocks too.

[7stringevo]

Nice $4000 rig, i wish i had that kinda cash for a bogner.

Ive got about $1500 saved up. should i bother savin up for the xtc or just get the uberschall? this sounds a lot fuller to me.

[XTC101B]

My advice would be to save a bit more and get a used XTC...you will not be sorry.

[eggman6]

I've have been told the uber has one of the worst clean channels ever, its a rather strange design compared other amps. But the gain of the uber is hard to beat for the heavy stuff. I get the impression the xtc covers more tones than the uber does, but thats just a geuss.

[XTC101B]

Your impression is correct...the XTC is extremely versatile, especially compared to the Uber.

[KrazyMonkeyNuts]

You're not buying an Uberschall for the clean channel.

[eggman6]

no but if ur paying that kind of cash its not unreasonable to expect a good clean channel, and alot of guitarists like to play more than one style. Theres no reason a high gain amp cant have a good clean channel.

[testical100]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mahavishnu80]

toneful. great riff too BTW

[tomlikesacdc]

Beautiful Tone!

[bailey12444]

can you play heavy metal please

[XTC101B]

Check out my Kramer Pacer Solo video for some heavier stuff...Thanks.

[WGMSMan]

That was fantastic. I love the sound of those XTC's.

[bz1bz1]

wow!!!! that was excellent. I have been playing for 1 year and I am still lost. I copy SRV and EVH from CDs and tabs; will that take me to where you are? any advice?

[XTC101B]

Thanks for your comments. Learning my favorite songs from Tabs is exactly how I learned to play...just stick with it!

[acdc126]

majestic gears!

[XTC101B]

Thanks! This Bogner is one of the best amps I have ever owned.

[acdc126]

and it cant be more expensive :P

the pedals are great choice!

[greenshoes99]

How much does a Bogner amp usually cost?

[XTC101B]

New, 4K; Used, 2.5-3.5K...well worth the investment!

[glmetal]

that's one of the most fantastic tones i've ever heard!!!!!!!!!also fantastic playing!!!!

can you tell me something about your tom holmes pickup?i can't find his website...

[XTC101B]

Thanks a lot. Tom does not make his pickups anymore (he used to custom wind them one at at time), and they are getting harder to find and more expensive as time goes on.

[XTC101B]

Not as Hot(8.3K) as, say, a Duncan JB (~16.5K), but full and rich in tone...I just positioned mine closer to the string. If you can get one, try it.

[mortenmat]

now thats KILLER tone! loved the part at 2:50 with the delay. how much does that amp cost?

[jdrizd2]

Where is your mike? A thousand miles away? Bogner's are the best but the signal is so far off you just might as well plug in a Crate amp! Close and distance mike that killer of a son 'o gun! Nice licks!

[XTC101B]

Thanks...this was obviously just me playing around, but still sounds better than a Crate, imho. And you are right...when miked-up this thing is a complete MONSTER!

[jdrizd2]

Just kidding of course! Fulltone tape echo? Wow! You're really goin' for the shizznit, aren't ya?

[rnrbear101]

this is so fucking wierd

i have a bogner shiva and i run almost identical pedals through my fx loop no joke man hahaha i have the mxr 90 and the line delay dl-4 and the BBE S.M. and the ISP noise gate but i also run a electro harmonix wiggler as well as a zvex fuzz factory

[XTC101B]

Nice set-up! I am getting ready to add a looper, Fulltone tape delay, and an Analogman

Bi-Chorus to my rig for even more sonic options.

[rnrbear101]

is there no loop on the ectasy?

i used to have the fulltone tape delay

honestly i didnt like it

the dl-4 did its job and more

but its my H.O.

haha

arent bogners the greatest?

i almost got xtc but i like the rawness of the shiva better but i see the qualities of both

if i was loaded id by both as well as a metropolis for super clean and uberschall if i ever get depressed haha

[XTC101B]

The XTC does have a loop, which I run almost everything through...what I'm looking at is something like The Boomerang phrase sampler.

I think all Bogner models are incredible!

[jeff5x0]

Gorgeous man. I'm envious.

[JohnnyRoxx65]

KILLER tone!

[SDMF21]

What a fucking awesome crunch ton. Not a fan of strats, I usually stick to teles and les pauls but that right there is awesome. Great playing, great setup...GREAT

[carlfia]

The BBE in the loop?

[XTC101B]

Yeah...I'm running everything through the loop.

[carlfia]

These three vids of yours kick ass. I just picked up the DL-4 and BBE. Sounds great. You're demos helped me out.

One more thing- where are you running your excustion and bright switches? thanks

[XTC101B]

Thanks, Man...you will not be disappointed with this delay or the BBE. I set my excursions to Loose for a deeper tone, and the Brightness is on 2. Post a video using your new stuff when you get a chance. Funny thing is, your videos have inspired me to get a Fulltone tape delay the next chance I get! (Awesome tone on your videos BTW.)

[carlfia]

Thanks! I'll try those settings. I just got the camcorder and shot the TTE. More vids to come. That's a seperate rig (Reinhardt V-100, TTE, pedals)

The DL-4 and BBE kick ass. Used them all day yesterday thru the Ecstasy. Thanks again!

[lucal1]

hi the bbe sonic stomp maximizer What is the function of this device i mean That what you use in your rig

[XTC101B]

Imagine your sound going from "small" to HUGE, Dynamic, and more defined...projects like you are playing in stereo. Best 100Bucks I ever spent on anything for guitar.

[edguyrocks]

Killer tones bro! What else can be said? I wish I had that rig!
