Double New Rig Day!! :0D
« on: June 01, 2012, 08:53:25 PM »
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 :)

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  ;)

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

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!

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...
