All user reviews for the Bogner Uberschall Head

6 12AX7, 4 EL34 2 channels (clear and distortion)

120 watts

Spartan, simple, effective: between instrument, effects loop (send and return), with the send level rglage, 2 hp outputs slecteur of Impedance, buttons Activation / d -energized 2 channel and effects loop, switchable remotely via crankset provided.
Bass, mdium, treble, presence, gain and volume on each channel. Master Volume.

In short, nothing superfluous, it pays the sound and not 8 options that are not on use.
About the award finally dmistifions: the price of 4000 euros is just ridiculous, it is really swell in France: it is worth $ 2,750 aus USA, and I pay 2535 euros new, with the Mtal grid option, Belgium, therefore, still expensive but more reasonable. If this amp is a myth because of the price, that's a shame ... I think bcp speaks without having tried!

USE

Very easy and that's what I like, I returned too many channels and options you never uses, was trying to stage a sound bland and flat base, but it wastes time and never found rglage you want.

YES it is easy to get a good sound, sufficient that the grain forbid, the equalizer is very intuitive, except the presence, unconventional, which acts on the rendering modern / vintage rendering mdiums.
Little breath, much less than the diezel VH4 and all engl eg.
A imperative not to pass cot potential: push the lead 12 minimum volume and master 9am minimum, otherwise disappointment sure!

Spartan manual rglages next to the head, but very effective and up the basics.

SONORITS

Of course he should, otherwise I would not have bought it ... should everyone assurment no!
It is such strong bet that fans of VHT dtestent this amp that sounds really the opposite of this trademark.

I bough a prs custom 24 and esp eclipse, as required.

The clean suffers no reprohe my view: wide, balanced big potato without saturating, even with the very thrust gain. Hot and prcis time.
For levels are quilibrs with 2 channel, I put the clean background volume and the volume lead 14h, and it really is the amp that sends what is in the belly!

the lead is very thick, very grainy, rocky, not too smooth, the dynamic is correct, the compression too. Adopts the rglages are crucial to the character that you want: it can go very dark, greasy, more prcis.
Not possible to obtain a super sharp popping sound, there is always a good round in the sound.
In short, an open, wide, which can be prcis as rglages.

I chose it for this type of sonorits, so nothing I dteste!

For those who need a crunch channel, a OD9 maxon is sublime on the clean, and lower volume knob on the guitar gives a great crunch, the amp exceptionally yragit.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Anything goes on this amp is the result of long annnes of trial and error. I pass by the racks systems, search for album sounds before I realized that these sounds were unusable in a mix.
I have dtest this type there's a few years since not very flattering of the game, a very rclamant game goes into it ... I understand that bcp is due after a try, especially if they have not pushed and grain is very typ.
Moreover, and this is the purpose of this type of head, the sound in the mix is ​​really excellent, that's exactly what I expected, nothing is bouff by the other instruments, and n 'empite not others.
has confirmed my theory: sound too flattering one: unusable group; its robust and rocaileux: a marvel in the mix!

Modern hi gain amp tube 120 watt 2 channel, manufacturing prestige and extraordinary price. This is not an amp for beginners, this is a portable luxury for people with expensive tastes and appreciate knowing that.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, there are two independent channels, one clean and one distortion. To begin, we must turn all controls at noon, it sounds perfect directly. Changing lamps is in a technician.

SOUNDS

I play modern punk rock and hardcore, this amp is the perfect sound for this kind of music. The personality of the amp is unique, it has a special and mystical distortion, it combines the brutality of hell and the sweetness of heaven. It fits easily into any mix, the sound coming out of the cab is worthy of a CD already happened, the game fun is unlimited. No distortion pedal to add the sound bite and defined essence as if a tube screamer was embedded in her belly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 24 hours, but I listen and contemplate the past 4 years. I always tried to get a sound closer to that perfection, but I always failed. However, I am going through the Line 6 Pod HD, a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier coupled to an OD808 tube screamer, an Orange Rockerverb and Orange TH30. Suffice to say that I completely understand why this amp is so expensive, this is the price to pay for perfection and I perfectly understand the distance between Orange TH30 750 € (which I love) made in China and Bogner UBERSCHALL 2700 € made by Bogner. As for the match vs Rectifier UBERSCHALL, there is no comparison: the Dual Rectifier is a smokescreen muddy that is known only by the type of metal very attractive sponsoring all newly signed groups, the 'UBERSCHALL is the Holy Grail of hell, the genius who seeks no recognition.

This is a very simply *looking* amp. 2 channels. The ones on my model are identical. I believe there are a few different models of the Uber and mine is the one with the two lead channels. I think it's a limited run. I also have the newer Twin Jet Uber.

I should mention that this amp has one of my favorite Effects loops of all time. I think this might have something to do with Bogner's design of the amp and how simple the loop implementation is. But everything sounds great in it.

UTILIZATION

Bogner manuals are usually marginally to somewhat helpful, but that's about it. The Uber manual is suprisingly better than most. That said, you are better off just dialing it in yourself. Your ears are your best manual with this amp. Typically I run my first channel on a light crunch and use my guitar volume to clean it up. The 2nd channel I usually have on full on lead. A fair warning, this is not a lead amp. It's really meant for rhythm playing in a metal genre context. If you want a lead amp the XTC is more that style.

SOUNDS

I use a Les Paul with EMG's through mine. I'm not a big fan of the Uberkab so I run it into an Orange 4x12 most of the time. It sounds better through a half stack I think. The Uber has a TON of bass on tap and it can get very thumpy before it gets muddy. It will rip your chest off like nothing else. Most of the tone controls respond fairly normally except the presence, which is the big secret of this amp. You can get a ton of voicings out of it by messing with this knob. At higher settings it sounds very Marshally, while at low settings it's like a sub boom bass machine. I can't see someone using this amp for anything other than heavy metal and the like. It's simply too mean sounding for anything else.

OVERALL OPINION

I have toured with mine and never had any issues. It gets pretty darn hot if you turn it up but still no issues there. It's heavy as all get out that's for sure. This head fits a very specific need, and I would highly recommend it for rhythm guitarists of heavy music styles. Everyone else should probably try it out and see how they like it first. It's limited in what it can do, but for what it does do it does it better than any other amp. The design is pretty unique too.

120 W / 2 channels (treble, Middle, Bass, Gain) / Lamps
gnral master / effects loop
VERY SIMPLE

UTILIZATION

Ds big sound the first agreement (in fact should not play with hsiter Middle knob on channel saturated.

SOUNDS

With a gain MODR (45%) gives a punchy rock sound hyper
I hesitate not to push him a little. But it is the master allotted to each channel dveloppe watts a fawn super impressive. 1 quart-hair ass enough to deafen your own drummer ...
What class!

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year 2 months and 4 days. I remember that date because it is the o There's days I had to make me live oprer eardrums.
I totally agree with Arkam (excuse me if j'ecorche the name). The UBERSHALL (with German pronunciation please) is the best amp. I really love the comparison with this amp ball 'to correct!
It is clear ke see anything. An ear warned understand right away that the sound kills everything clear, the saturation t'ventre and use is super simple.
What could be better? May be the price? and Available on the market. I will be happy if a man had Bogner channel distribution of Mesa. It would be an injustice under rpar.

I use for my slicks rhausser msa too fadassse I got.
Good cost.

Everything has been said,
head lamps with an output of 100W, 2 channels
incredibly simple it looks like an orange head !
effects loop, balance dry / wet, switch, 4/8/16 ohm output selection
Active EQ is not always the case. and that's it ...
ultra minimalist look is very nice, it sounds that's all.

UTILIZATION

Setup is very simple, it is still important to have the Ubercab to be able to spit out what she has in the stomach.
the big sound is there, you branch directly and it sends.
not need a manual, but there is one that comes with and it's about a paragraph ...

SOUNDS

So there's very heavy.
I use this head with mainly jacksons US / pro, EMG / Seymour, but I'm not totally agree with the previous opinion. The sound that comes out to me is very "clean"
A treat for those who hate the buzz like "bees" that exist on or Mesa/5150 Engl.

The distortion is smooth and fat at the same time, it's heavy, heavy but not garish.

the clean is very faithful to your guitar sound pretty dull crunch that not, if ever.
therefore not possible to take the lead on the set for hours, you branch it works, if you like it: change of gear

I think we can play basically any style of music "rock" with, with a preference for the types who like low . I play a group of "rock / metal / prog / jesaispasquoi. Anyway, a style that touches a little bit of everything for me and the head completely.

Please note that this header is not a powerhouse, the 100w is slightly overvalued for me

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I use it for more than 10 months, I love the distortion of this amp, the distortion probably the most "soft" and I know I use the word sweet for its pleasing appearance, as if it's live out of a CD product. No fuck that acute ears, no low buzzing sound and not care in the air and no middle who looks like your group by a choir of duck .

All this thanks to EQ quite fabulous, nothing to do with what I could see it before you turn the knob and you hear something, and everything sounds ...

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I have used for many years Mesa Boogie, I have an orange head, I tried the Marshall obviously tried Engl, 5150, Soldano, Line 6 ....
for now I have not seen anything that equaled this machine

regret, the 100w is still a bit shy compared to mesa one end of the volume Bogner must be pushed quite generously. What ultimately may be a good thing because it makes the lights go ...

- How would you rate the quality / price?
still quite expensive, but well ...

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
yeah no problem!

see below

UTILIZATION

Yes the config is really simple ... simple is difficult. I have no manual and I think it's quite dispensable.

SOUNDS

I use an Ibanez RG7621 with. Mainly saturated sound. I use a Carbon Copy delay in the loop. I engages with the pedal FX. The cab is used CAE copy of the Uberkab.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3-4 months. Before I played a Laney head GH100L before which I used several preamp Boss, Engl. I love the Spartan side of this gear. I am a gratteu who hates to quibble 36,000 tips. We have to plug in the guitar and it sounds directly. I think this amp has a distortion "soft". I mean it but in the end beam of repeats you do not have that feeling of ear fatigue. Sounds good any more detached. In short a good machine that I intend to keep it long as long as I continue to do the scene.

04/2010 Edit: to get the max of saturated channel I recommend you get the gain at 9 o'clock. It becomes even more accurate and it does well in the mix, even with a 7-string.

The Bogner Uberschall Head is a guitar amplifier that is extremely well made and sounds incredible. Bogner is known for making high quality amplifiers; in fact, it would be hard to say that any other company makes better amps than them, although many are certainly comparable. The Uberschall Head in particular is a special guitar amp, consisting of EL34 power tubes and 120 watts of pure power. It’s got two separate channels with a good amount of control, with a ¼” input in the front for your instrument. It’s also got ¼” connections in the back for sending this to a speaker cabinet, for a foot switch, and for a send and return loop, amongst a few other connections. It’s also got a unique backlight so you can see in the dark if you’re on stage.



UTILIZATION

The make up of the Bogner Uberschall Head isn’t too difficult to understand or to follow, especially if you know a thing or two about guitar amps. The two channels are identical, so you can dial in two completely different sounds and switch between them at your own will with a footswitch. Each channel has parameters for volume, presence, treble, middle, bass, and gain, as well as an master volume that applies for both of the channels. I haven’t had a need to check out a manual for this, so I don’t know anything about it.

SOUNDS

The sound of the Bogner Uberschall Head is up there with the best guitar amplifiers that I’ve ever used. I’m really not exaggerating here, as the tone is absolutely outstanding. It’s one of the cleanest and fullest sounding amp heads I’ve ever heard let alone used. It’s got a great low end response which really gives it a whole tone of girth. It’s possible to get a good amount of different sounds on each of the channels, so it’s easy enough to get both a great sounding clean and dirty sound simultaneously if you wanted to. It’s hard to describe how awesome this sounds without actually hearing it, but this thing absolutely rips.


OVERALL OPINION

The Bogner Uberschall Head is definitely designed by and for professionals, as this amp doesn’t mess around at all. If you want one of the best amps that money can buy, this needs to be in the running. It’s really that good. Bogner makes top quality gear across the board for professionals, so while very expensive, you certainly get what you pay for here.
