The Ultimate in Big Bogner Tube Tone!

Here's the perfect balance between power and flexibility! You'll absolutely love Bogner's stellar 20th Anniversary Ecstasy Head, and not just because it has three channels and puts out 100 watts of pure tube tone. Reinhold Bogner has been building amazing amps in the U.S. for over two decades, and this very special version of the Ecstasy marks the perfect culmination of his passion and experience. The 20th Anniversary Ecstasy Head has all the features you need to pull out a variety of amp tones, from crystalline clean to raging distortion. You can also choose 25-, 50-, or 100-watt operation, so you know this amp will be perfectly at home both in the studio and onstage.

The 20th Anniversary Ecstasy Head isn't simply a souped-up version of the standard model. This amazing head actually has its own distinctive preamp circuitry, boutique coupling capacitors, and distinctive looks. Equipped with 6L6 power tubes, the 20th Anniversary Ecstasy Head gives you the perfect combination of glass and bite. From its tube-buffered effects loop to its Plexi mode to its assignable presence controls and Excursion switches, this head is brimming with the pro features you want from an amp. Plus, Bogner puts an array of functions right at your feet with the included footswitch.

Though Reinhold Bogner began designing and building amplifiers long before leaving Germany for the U.S. in 1989, his career really took off soon after arriving in 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 modifying and custom building their amps. Eddie Van Halen entrusted Reinhold to overhaul and revitalize his number one Marshall Plexi - with great results. Soon after, Bogner Amplification was born, and the rest, they say, is history.

Bogner amps and cabinets are handcrafted using only the finest components available. When you plug into the 20th Anniversary Ecstasy Head, you're not simply getting premium tone; you're getting the value of a piece of gear that's made to be played for years to come and built to handle the rigors of the road. From speakers to pre- and power amp designs, cabinets to cosmetic touches, Bogner amps and cabs are built to give you the best, most reliable playing experience. Period.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Worth the hype...and the money!

What a versatile amp. I play everything from metal to jazz and this amp can do it all. It's the best I've heard for high gain tones, fender style clean tones and a blue channel that is edge of break up/bluesy perfection. Its a very expensive amp and was hesitant on spending so much money as a non gigging musician, but I'm blown away by how good this sounds and feels. It's the tone(s) I've been chasing all these years. Simply the perfect amp no matter the genre or style. If you can't dial it in with this then it doesn't exist.

Salutations to the glorious sun here lies only one Watt Bogner Ecstasy 20th anniversary 100W to have with 606’s

She is magnificent in every way shape and form and truly a majestic creature that can growl billowing lows underneath The cascading sound waves then from within straight from the heavenly highs shimmering soars descends and caresses the ceiling with a kiss .. mmmm that soul searching sound worth every penny!!! it took me a while to get used to it though and I had to understand its way view and perspective but that could be me.. totally worth getting the full range of what I'm looking for as far as like altered dynamics.

Sonic Bliss

I've owned this amp for almost a year now; and it just seems to keep sounding better. It's a very special amp that does take a little bit of time dialing in and understanding the nuance behind the settings. Unlike a lot of amps where you can hardly tell the difference on EQ settings. This amp is extremely sensitive to Presence, Treble, Etc and really reacts to right hand touch. Not super impressed w/ the clean channel (but who buys this beast for cleans!) Not saying that the clean is bad, just not up to other (Mesa per day) high gain heads.

The blue is true Plexi to driving hard rock, while the red channel is next level. You can heard each and every note with articulation and just a perfect growl.

Some of the best high gain tone you will ever hear. Thick, chewy, saturated. Not overly compressed and artificial sounding. Might be the best high gain tone I've ever heard. (The other 2 that I'd compare it to is the Soldano SLO 100 and Friedman BE-100) (own both)

Great buffered loop w/ line level vol and nice foot switch w/ boost. You can also remove/bypass the loop via the foot switch.

Take some time dialing it in and you will not be disappointed...

The ultimate amp!

I got this model in a trade as I never had a high end amp. This baby has it all from beautiful fender esq cleans to hotted rodded marshall tones, this amp does it all! It's great for recordings and gigs with alot of headroom with the 50/100 watt options. Do yourself a favor and get one if you can!
