Bogner Goldfinger - anyone played one yet?

[Twinfan]

The title says it all!  They seem like a cool amp on spec, wondered if anyone's close enough to a GuitarGuitar shop to have tried one out yet?

[Telerocker]

Heard it in the shop (Maxguitars, The Hague, Holland), didn't get a chance to play it. The tones are really convincing. The first Bogner I would like to buy. Thick, raunchy vintages tones (plexi), but can do some metal stuff too. Cleans are great too. Lots of options on this amp. Really a rockbeast. Maybe I'm not objectiv, bec I like 6V6-amps (playing myself an Orange Rockerverb 50).

Interesting.  I may have to try one out...

here are the Bogner demos of the Goldfinger...

I'm let down they don't play that Shirley Bassett song from Bond through this amp  :D

Was out with several GuitarGuitar guys last night. When I was doing the usual 'anything interesting come in recently?' bit I got a 'nah, nowt' so it can't have caught their attention much - if they actually have any in yet.

Website says there's 4+ in stock...

I thought the demos were very impressive. Masses of tweakability, a bit of an amp for all seasons though there's 1800 reasons why I can't have one.

I'm wondering whether to chop the AFD100 in for one...

[gordiji]

i'd have thought the splawn's would be up your street if the marshall isn't living up to expectations.i also think by
end of spring the £ will be trading higher against the dollar which may make them a good buy (direct from usa), i'm
hoping for 1:1.85  £:$ , we'll see.

I've got the XTC that does the Splawn thing.

This clip might just have sold it to me...

I saw one in the Birmingham store last week, but didn't think to try it out... the pots all felt nice though, not cheap feeling :)

yeah, that does sound pretty righteous if you're into old-school plexi and JCM800-inspired tones - I'd happily gig one of those.

I have to be honest and say I don't think the Marshall sounds all that special and I still prefer the Jubilee.... I'd trade up in a heartbeat if I had the cash Dave!

Yeah, saw that one too. Great amp, very responsive.

Haven't played it but from all I've read and some info from a friend who's got one, I'd say it's the "better Shiva" - meaning it's got that tone and depth of the Shiva Ch2, but with a more versatile clean and a drive channl that can also do 80s hardrock. Based on that I'd get one anyday.
