Bogner Alchemist Crunching with Mesa 2x12

Another metal test of the Bogner alchemist along with a Mesa 2x12 Rectifier cabinet. Just seeing how down- tuned metal riffs hold up on it. Save the flames for virtuoso- wanna bees. I'm just playing for fun/ random metal style riffs for people like myself who may be interested in checking this amp out.

is that running straight in? with no fx?

[J2thaPizzie]

yes all amp

[skaterdan31]

also though, can anyone give advice as to how this compares to the other bogner amps? obvs a massive price difference but still wondering.

[J2thaPizzie]

Skaterdan31, I would say that this amp most resembles the Shiva from the bogner line. however, it has it's own sound all it's own.

Can you give me you settings, please? Just got mine and qould love to experiment with different tones...

[evilotto77cheese]

It's always possible, you just need a bit of technical know-how

[niahaa]

Wow, the boost isn't even on ?

[UnoOwl]

what exact model of guitar is that?

@diesect33 I do like most of the Engl's I've tried, my fave being the special edition, the H&K Triamp is awesome too. I wasn't a massive fan of the Soldano's I tried though and I wasn't that keen on the DSL, I used the DSL 50 for about a month and for a big gig I had years ago, but really didn't like it. It actually put me off marshalls till I heard my friends JMP and tried an ORIGINAL Bluesbreaker combo with the pre-rola greens. One of my friends just got a krankenstein jr. It's quite good.

[wildbill85]

@diesect33 Yeah totally, most amps out there are mods of classic designs. Matchless and some Dr.Z's make alot of money off of Vox inspired amps, Soldano's are pretty much like hotrodded marshalls, etc. Bogner's amps, while based off marshalls, still have something unique about them. The Shiva i have has a throaty distortion that won me over from the first power chord i played through it, and the clean was ridiculous. Dr.Z and Dumble are said to be the most original designers.

@wildbill85 .but with German attitude. Personaly i prefer German then Brit THEN USA tone stylings. My fav amps right now are,ENGL Invader EL34 ver,H&K Triamp MKII,Framus Cobra V1 or 2,Soldano SLO100, Soldano Avenger,Marshall DSL100/50,Mesa rect-o-verb 50 and Peavey 5150 with a tie on a E34L (including screen res mod) XXX on "loose" but, i would wager the Uberschall being a brit-German hybrid tone machine would snag me QUICK if i owned one.

[diesect33]

@wildbill85 I'll take your word on the place of construction but, i have a tube amps "history" book that states the uberschall's a hi end Marshall circuit. That's not a bad thing, the Uberschall's a monster and because it's better quality with his own "touch" it's still unique. when you go back far enough they all came from Brit/USA or Marshall/Fender and Marshall started (JTM45) as a corner cut (for profit) bassman which leo took from an RCA radio. But, it's VERY british in character.

[wildbill85]

@diesect33 Actually the Uberschall is made in America by Reinhold Bogner (though most likely his employees, nice guys, I have an EL34 Shiva myself) who is originally from Germany. All his custom shop amps (Shiva, Duende, Ecstacy, Metropolis, etc) are made in the USA. Just letting ya know. I really don't think the Uber has a British tone structure, it's DEFINITELY in the German/Euro metal amp sounding tone range, ala Framus, Engl, diezel, hughes and kettner, etc. Though each is still unique.
