Hook a Ton of Different Tones with This Preamp from Bogner!

The Bogner Fish 4-channel tube guitar preamp lets you turn your guitar rig into a versatile tone station that's suitable for just about any genre! The original Fish was designed in the late 1980s and produced in limited quantities - and in-the-know musicians (Vernon Reid and Jerry Cantrell, just to name a couple) snapped it up. Now you can catch a Fish yourself and benefit from its all-tube design (eight 12AX7tubes) and four distinctive channels - each complete with its own set of controls - that take you from spanking country clean to fat high-gain. Reel in great guitar tone with the Fish!

Bogner Fish 4-channel Tube Guitar Preamp
  • The original Fish
  • The Fish reborn

The original Fish
The original Fish was designed in the late late '80s and was Bogner's second official product following the Triple Giant. The Triple Giant had three channels, and only 25 pieces were made of the original design, which all went to top artists such as Vernon Reid, Dan Huff, and Carl Verheyen, to mention a few. The first incarnation of the Fish - 4-channel all tube guitar preamp and logical evolution after the Triple Giant - was limited to only about 250 pieces made between 1990 and 1993. It's pretty rare to find one these days!

The Fish reborn
Now the Fish lives again! The re-created preamp includes four distinctive channels: Country, with sparkling clean sound for all musical styles; Shark. with a lower-gain, very open-sounding, "Vox meets Fender" type of vibe; Strato, which gives you tight response and high, aggressive gain; and Brown, with a fat-sounding high-gain character. Just plug the Fish, with its cool blue anodized front panel and white chicken-head knobs, into your favorite power amp and cabinet, and you're ready for just about any style!

  • 19" 2U size
  • 4-channel all tube design with master volume and presence controls (back panel)
