Members mcr23 Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 IMO, one of the best tones on the internets.

Members Joe K Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 +1, the Mark IV is effortless, like peeing your pants Vs. the Fish, which is like climbing an ice chute. Difficult, but rewarding in the end. I dunno man, peeing in your pants in pretty rewarding too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, as long as you're wearing sandals, and you aren't in a bed (that doesn't have plastic sheets.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members msormune Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yes. You see the Bogner master plan was to first create the best preamp ever and then make only about 250 of these. Because it was so awesome it would run everyone else out of business, and thus destroy the market. In fact, they made a secret treaty never to reveal the magic in them to anyone and split the remaining preamps to all parts of the world. I believe there was a Tomb Raider movie about it a few years back. Lara found the secret map to the amps was tattooed on Kerry King's ass. Or maybe, just MAYBE it's wasn't so good after all, and people just pay ridiculous sums of money for something that is hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members draelyc Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 I still have the Reeves, it's not going anywhere. I just went back to a more traditional (for me anyway) 2-ch clean and dirt set up. The Lynx is a 50 watter with a great clean channel and a gain side that's more in the modded Marshall camp. The clean is very good, plenty of headroom for loud clean tones, takes pedals nicely, and the gain side is about perfect for what I like for rock and hard rock type gain tones. It also has a half power switch that's very effective (great for smaller stages or touchy sound guys) -- the amp really shines in a live setting. Huge, with plenty of volume to spare. I've been gigging this rig for almost a year now -- love it. Damn, that is just a sweet, sweet lookin' rig, brother! Thanks for the breakdown.

Members The Realm Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 really:confused: Lead 2 red is okay, but I thought it was kind of thin, but saturated. I didn't hate it, but I liked Lead 2 Yellow a LOT more. :confused: I guess it kinda depends on how we dialed it in-I can't remember the settings anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members groovelift Posted January 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 Well, I made the trip to go check out the Fish. Played it for about an hour with my LP and a few other guitars the owner had. I'd have to agree with the "buttery" description someone used. The Fish is one helluva preamp and has some amazing tones. I ran it through the paces but in the end, I just couldn't justify the cost. I've decided instead to buy an Axe-Fx Ultra which I believe will give me a better bang for the buck with an arsenal of tones to cover just about any style.

Members Eric Hellstyle Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 the ecstasy is already a mix of the brown and strato channels of the fish and about the same price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spruilldog Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 I don't understand what is so bad about an amp that is "unforgiving" and "shows mistakes". I play a Mesa/Boogie MarkIV- is that an 'unforgiving' amp? Nothing wrong with it. I love my Bogner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
