Bogner Uberschall Mk2 100-watt 2-channel Tube Head - EL34 Version Reviews
Boasting a whopping 100 watts of all-tube power and up to seven stages of cascading gain, the Uberschall Mk2 represents the pinnacle of Bogner’s world-renowned ultra-high-gain performance. This dual-channel amplifier head is packed to the brim with versatility, with each channel featuring three different modes to tailor your tone from pristine cleans to cutting crunch all the way to modern metal brutality. Moreover, high-gain fanatics will love how the incredibly heavy Channel 2 also sports a three-position voicing switch (Doom, Focused, and Bright) and a tightness-shaping Metamorph control, for serious sonic control over every aspect of your sound. The power amp offers its own robust set of sound-shaping controls — global Presence, Depth, and Density — and it’s all finished off with a 4-button footswitch that gives you hands-free access to the channel select, onboard Gain Boost, second master volume, and FX loop.

No need for a distortion pedal
First amp ever that has great distortion from blues to modern metal coming right out of the box. The 80s metal setting is awesome. Sounds great with a Mesa rectifier cabinet. Highly recommend this amp head. This coming from a diehard MESA Boogie man.
Highest of Gain, Glossy Cleans
So, I won't bore you with the "most versatile amp" ever rant, because I probably felt that way on at least 6 of the 10 heads I own, lol. I will tell you this, coming from someone who owns EVH 5150IIs EL34, Diesel VHX, ENGL, JP2c, etc etc. It has THE highest gain possible. With the boost switch forget it, unusable amounts of gain. BUT, when you do spend time with it and dialing the sound you will have a very articulate amp, that has great voicing in several different stages. You can cover a lot of ground modeling various distorted amps given the tools on this here (Morph, density, etc). The cleans are chummy and sound excellent as well. I would put the amp up there with any high end brand on overall tone and quality. Two things you must consider. It is not a plug and play amp like a JCM800, etc! You will have to like noodling around. Sorta like a Mesa or JP-2C. Second, despite have 8 different cabs on my amp switcher racks, you must pair this with the Uber Cab! The blend of the Celestion Vintage 30 and G12T-75 Speakers is hands down the way to play this amp. I have all other cabs you can dream of, none sound close to the clarity and punch of the Uber cab. Interestingly, the Uber cab used with all my other heads is way too bright! I finally have a use for it and see why it was made. In all, a very cool amp to have and defiantly well made too. A must own for collectors of hard rock or metal style rock.
