Bogner / Shiva 20th Anniversary / Vintage White / Amp For Sale
|
With a new look, added features and newly voiced channels the 20th Anniversary Shiva is the most versatile yet!
Featuring a pair of KT88's the amp is rated at 90 watts.
The clean channel has an entire new boost circuit with it's separate gain stage which unlike the "tone stack bypass" boost on the other Shiva models keeps the tone controls active all the time. With the boost engaged it's extra gain stage lets you dial well into Plexi territory.
The gain channel has overall more gain with a more refined voice on tap. Two push button switches have been added to further shape the tone. The Shift button will shift the EQ, pushed in you get a more "blackface" type of tone, less mids softer feel. One could say it will please the Dumble favoring players. The Mode button if pushed in will give you a more aggressive in your face feel.
A power amp dampening control was added on the back panel. This control is labeled Excursion and is great to dial in a full sound at low volumes or to adjust the right balanced bass to a cabinet and room size. Be carefully as this can add massive bottom to your sound which might overpower other frequencies and cover up an overall balanced sound. Best to keep low at higher volumes.

Bogner Amplification, USA 
Reinhold Bogner had been designing and building amplifiers long before leaving Germany in 1989. Moving to Los Angeles he quickly gained the trust of many influential players including: Steve Stevens, Dan Huff, Allan Holdsworth, Mike Landau and Steve Vai who sought out his skill at modifing and custom building their amps. Eddie Van Halen entrusted Reinhold to overhaul and revitalize Eddies #1 Marshall Plexi, Eddie was pleased. BOGNER AMPLIFICATION was born.
Reinhold would be pretty bored to copy the old amplifiers from the 60's and make them more reliable. Instead he comes up with his own designs which incorporate the feel and tone of the old designs but with flexibility unheard of. In 1992 Reinhold released the Ecstasy which was the beginning of a new class of boutique amplifiers.
