Finally, after NINE MONTHS of waiting, my Bogner 2x12 has arrived :D Woohoo! I didn't think I'd like the V30s but they sound soooooo good in this cab they're staying put. My favourite amp ever just got even better - I didn't think that was possible :o

And in other news, I picked up an ex-demo 65 Amps London Pro a few weeks ago for rehearsals and gig backup (hence the recent sale of my Orange Dual Terror). I was after a Heritage G12H 55Hz for my 65 Amps 2x12 (to replace the stock Anniversary 75Hz G12H) when a brand new 1x12 cab with one fitted appeared on eBay. Only £50 more than the speaker alone, so a complete no brainer and I picked it up last weekend. One speaker swap later, and the G12H Anniversary is now in the 1x12 - the 65 Amps cab now sounds epic. Fan-bloody-tastic!
One completed #1 rig and a new rehearsal rig sorted within a week. Nice! Time to sell my old 2x12 and Martamp half stack........

Bogner quarter stack looks very smart Dave :)
-
Wow, just awesome! Can't wait to hear them 8)

Cheers guys - the Bogner sounds amazing. Even Mrs Twinfan commented on it :D
Don - I gave it a good run through with the Modern Eagle, just for you ;)
Here are the 65s with the matching cab:

I've just been playing the Bogner this morning - holy cow what a tone :D I need to brush up on my playing to do it justice...

Me much likey now I wouldnt mind puttin me Les Paul through that lot :D
-
I must admit, looks-wise, I'd be a lot happier standing in front of that lot (the practice rig)... I suspect most punters who aren't gearheads won't know the name "Bogner", so the in-yer-face lettering could raise a few muffled titters :lol:
However, I have a good idea of the sounds you go for, and I imagine them as being fairly close to what I like... so, if it's having that effect on you playing through it, I don't think I'd actually care too much what that the punters thought about the looks! :D
-
Didn't know you had a zilla!
-
excellent! :D :o
-
Congrats!

I don't give a flying $%&# about what the punters think - if it sounds awesome that's good enough for me! :lol:

Read the post - I've only just got it ;)
It's not a bad cab - especially for the price I paid! I'm not a fan of 1x12s as they don't have a lot of thump to the tone, but it's good enough for rehearsals as it's easy to move about!
-
Killer rig, Dave, just killer!!! :D

what about a compact 2x12? the roadkill badger i have is almost as easy to move around as the 1x12 cab i have (because of the side handles), and sounds really good. I think zilla does a compact 2x12 as well.
might be worth considering if you really dislike 1x12s...
-
Impressive stuff! :D
Is all this gear in your flat "down South", Dave? You must be getting almost as short of space as I am! :P

My THD-style 2x12 is compact, and even with Celestion Golds it sounds "small". Big cabs seem to equal big tone to my ears.

Cheers Phil :) The '65 Empire quarter stack is in the flat, the rest is back home where I can turn it up loud enough to hear it :lol:

Next time my neighbours invite me over to turn my amp up loud I'll let you know!
I'd like to the the London at some point - "small" amps are the way to go for me.
-
The London is a lot cleaner than the Empire at lower volumes - it has less preamp gain. Sounds great wound up at rehearsals though :)

yeah that's what i sorta assumed before i got this one. However... i am running it with the back off (as i have american-voiced speakers). Maybe it would sound smaller if i closed the back. :? I definitely thought it sounded better with the back off, but i just assumed that was because i had american-voiced speakers which tend to go in open-backed cabs.

Ah my bad, to be honest I only flick through the forum these days and spend more time looking at fashion
