[hostagehead7]

how long you been playin?

[jimzer]

haha excellent playing man.. love that jazzy chromatic-ey feel

this amp'd sound shit in the hands of a bad player

[clondan1]

what model throbaks are in your R9, also for other pickup companies have you ever heard of fralin or WCR pups, both nice as well

[Alu122112211221]

Why do you use Throbak pickups and not the ones that originally came with the reissue? Are the Throbak pickups significantly different than the ones that came with the reissue?

[mrcali68]

@Alu122112211221 To me, the Throbaks are clearer and much more vintage PAD sounding...the stock burst buckers are really good though. I

[clondan1]

that sounds incredible..best tone ive heard in a long ass time...are there EL34's or 6L6's in that....you are lucky to have such equipment, i mean the Bogner makes anything sound good but the R9 is just overkill...btw what are throback pups? who makes em'

[mrcali68]

@clondan1 Thanks! This one has El34's. Throbak Electronics makes the pickups.

[clondan1]

@mrcali68 which model is in your R9

[LPFan3118]

Awesome sound AND playing!

[mrcali68]

@LPFan3118 Thanks!

[Evanwill]

Great clip, enjoyed your playing:)

[mrcali68]

@Evanwill Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

Does the 4x12 Bogner Cabinet offer more Ohm selector things versus the 2x12? Because I've heard you need to change the Ohm selectors when you run the Bogner at half power.

[mrcali68]

@0ffMuhNuts No, it's the amp that has the ohm selector. If you run an Ecstasy at half power you lower the ohms on the head by half the value of the cab. For example, if the cab is a 16 ohms and you are running the head at half power you would set the ohm dial (on the head) to 8 ohms

[richedie]

What channel you on about .39 seconds???? Sounds vintage.

[mrcali68]

@richedie the whole clip is the red channel

[Theblackhell1]

How much does one of these beasts run for? $3,000?

[Alu122112211221]

what is the difference between EL34's and 6L6's?

[WholisticPlanetary]

There power tubes - the EL34's typically have more midrange growl and grunt and super buttery in the cleaner domains with nice brown overtones. 6L6's have a higher bright spot for the chimey cleans, a smooth overdrive, and get pretty metallic in the hi-gain territory. It's hard to really say THE difference because it's all dependent on the amp they're in. But basically, EL34 is vintage Brit-Grit, and 6L6 is smooth and silvery. If that makes sense.

Cheers!

[Moltisanti]

sounds absolutely killer, love it :D

[mrcali68]

@Moltisanti Thanks!

[Alu122112211221]

I'm reading a lot of stuff and listening to a lot of demos of this amp but I'm starting to question... Can it give an aggressive Marshall sound while being able to give a smooth distortion such as the one in "Sweet Child o' Mine" ?

[mrcali68]

@Alu122112211221 Absolutely!

[Alu122112211221]

What is the difference between EL34's and 6L6's?

[Seitz333]

Does it have the 6L6's or EL34's? Sounds like 6L6's.

[mrcali68]

@Seitz333 Actually this one has El34's

[Alu122112211221]

For bands like Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, Metallica and AC/DC would this amp or the Marshall JVM410h provide a better sound?

[mrcali68]

@Alu122112211221 I don't know anything about the JVM410h

[Alu122112211221]

how would the slanted cab compare to the straight cab with this amp?

[mrcali68]

@Alu122112211221 I'm not sure about that.

[Alu122112211221]

How does the Soldano SLO compare to this amp?

[mrcali68]

@Alu122112211221 The Soldano is an awesome amp no doubt but it doesn't even compete in the same league in terms of versatility.

[Geoffguitar]

Whatcya using for verb/delay? Is it in the loop or pre? Nice tone I like it a lot.

[mrcali68]

Thanks! Believe it or not that reverb and delay are from Garage Band! I added it at the end.

[Geoffguitar]

Cool sounds great. For playing live have you played around with verb/delay stuff in the loop?

[mrcali68]

I run line out from the Bogner to my TTE and then off to my Blues Junior. Sounds fantastic!

[mrcali68]

I have messed with the loop and it works great! The problem is that the TTE doesn't work at all in the loop so that's why I had to go with the other option.

[Geoffguitar]

How come the TTE doesn't work in the loop?

[mrcali68]

I'm not sure.

[videofile01]

Spoonman! Awesome playing and tone, man!

[mrcali68]

Thanks!

[Setneck]

Very nice and open tone. Cool playing too ;) Keep rockin' man ;)

[ElephantTank]

MmmHmm... love the Bogners! I'd absolutely love to have the Anniversarry Uber and Uberkab.

[jaeger28]

[mrcali68]
