Bogner Blue on STOTD

It's basically about what they go for used.

Great price for a brand new one. $300 is steep for an overdrive, but $150 puts this exemplary pedal within reach of most anybody.

I use my Ecstasy Blue at every single gig, and it sounds stunning in front of every amp I've used, including 65 Amps, a Peavey Classic 30, solid state combos, and a vintage Fender Twin Reverb. I've A/B'd this pedal with other really good name brand overdrives, as well as against premium hand wired drives, and the Bogner Ecstasy Blue surpasses them all in terms of organic feel, naturalness, and degree of interactive quality. It's warm, woody, crunchy, and sounds authentically like a great overdriven Marshall type tube amp. It is in the true sense of the word(s) an "amp in a box."

You might have convinced me to buy it. I'm busy with meetings (yes I'm typing this during a meeting) until lunchtime.

Come on. Is it really THAT good!?!?

Looks like 162 after taxes but their point system covers the taxes (if you don't forget to use them before they expire which I think I have).

I have no reason to lie. I paid for mine and nobody pays me to use it. It's honestly the best overdrive I've ever used.

Man Im tempted.

The most I've paid for a pedal is like $65. for the RAT2.

I keep coming back to the Dano Daddy 'O for the boxed Marshall vibe lately.
Which I think I bought after a TMC review as well.
I'm pretty happy with it, so I'm probably just blowing smoke.

You must like your Daddy 'O. I really like mine but haven't used it lately, though not because it's not good. You just got to make choices sometimes when putting the live rig together.

Bought it.
Demo with an SX:

Apparently, some people don't like how much boost the boost has. They want the ability to get unity gain from the boost. I don't think that makes sense to me at all.

Yeah I've heard complaints about the boost too, guess we'll see what they mean when it arrives since I ordered one too. This is a really neat demo:



And this one, some beautiful tones:

[mention]slowhand84[/mention] I hadn't seen that second demo but I had seen the one from the same guy where he A/Bs it against Bogner La Grange. Both seem like great pedals. I'm a bit of a sucker for anything that someone says will cop BFG's tone. That said, money talks. I love how he uses a filter so it's easy to tell which is which.

It's crazy that Guitar Center would make a pedal demo with a $150 guitar that they don't sell.

They don't sell ancient beat up Silvertone amps either...guessing both amp and guitar belong to this guy .

@slowhand84 I'm supposed to get mine today. I'd love to hear what you think of yours when you grab it.

Nice, mine is supposed to land Thursday I believe. Will report back!

[golem]

@slowhand84 just got mine dropped off. The package and finish on this are intense. It's like opening an Apple product. I can't try it until m wife wakes up (sleeping between night shifts).

Update: Plugged it in. The boost is a pretty big jump in volume. I used it with my Origin 5C, an amp I tend to use with both built-in boost and EQ or compression pedal pushing it further. It sounds good without the boost but heavenly with it. I've barely tried any of the settings on it but can already understand why some people love this pedal the way they do. I have to try it with more amps and other settings.

Nice, I'll report back on mine tomorrow. I think primarily this thing is meant to be used with the amp run clean which is how I use ALL my pedals, so I expect it'll sound pretty great with it. I'm a little up to my ears in drive pedals but we'll see if it ends up being a keeper. Glad to hear you like it!

I didn't like it quite as much with my Elite HSS Stratocaster. Not sure if it's the pickups, not finding the right settings on the pedal, or what. I've got a lot more experimenting to do with other amps and gutiars.

[jtcnj]

Congrats to those that grabbed them!

I struggle with finding the best available tones mixing pedal OD into clean or how dirty an amp already is.
Seems today I struggle to write a coherent sentence.

I prefer to crank em up (my amps are older circuits/not hi gain more modern units) and hit them with boost or light OD, the typical Tubescreamer type deal.
My wife has been home with 2 broken toes the last few weeks so I cant crank it up.

[slowhand84]

Just arrived today but haven't had a chance to open it yet, @golem is right these really are packaged like a high end Apple product or something haha. Will report back once I've given it a thorough demo.
