Bogner Uberschall
Bogner Uberschall
If you want the Uberschall, do yourself a favor and consider seriously a Splawn Nitro. Takes teh Uber vibe and sonic qualities, and improves and polishes them, tighter, more articulate, much improved clarity....all for almost 1K less than a brand new Uber. :)

Yeah, I might go with the Splawn. No offense to ENGL, I think they make pretty good amps and it's hard to get a solid opinion on the internet just by word of mouth but I've played the Bog and I've screwed around with a few Splawns and Engls. I would like to try the 5150 III for shits and giggles tho.
Thanks for everyones input.
I really wanna try an Uberschall. Its one of only a few hi gain amps that ive not tried. Who was saying that the 5150 III has a good clean channel!!? Its not really clean when you turn it up past 2, it breaks up, so it aint that clean in my opinion. I wasnt that impressed with it to be honest. Id expect a US made amp for that price tag. I used to have a VHT Pitbull UL with EQ but got rid of it coz it just didnt blow me away.
I'm in a position regarding amps that I've never been in before and it's awesome - there's no amp I want more than what I currently have: ENGL SE EL34.
I want other amps ASWELL, but not instead.

i do that also, i was that way with the engl powerball for a long long time, i kept trying other amps out as well,
the ub ended up being a keeper for me but didn't supplant the pb,
the vht's i ended up selling,
the laney Tony Iommi was much like the ub but not quite as good so the ub caused the Iommi to get sold,
a 5150 was like a noisier lesser version of a pb to me, without any cleans,
the fireball had a functional issue i didn't like so it was sold,
some other amps came and went (bog shiva, genz diablo, etc. ),
i just kept doing amp shootouts between other amps and the pb
the mesa stiletto had a different but also very good clean compared to the pb clean, so i at one point had a 3 amp rig, stiletto - powerball - uberschall, i kept this rig for maybe a year or less.
THE SPLAWN PROMOD then supplanted the powerball, and since i had good cleans from the stiletto i didn't care that the promod didn't have a good clean.
then i moved into a smaller space (gf's house ) so i only have room for 2 amps atm and the splawn and stiletto are my rig atm;
but the ub will be brought back out when we move;
and then someday i'll snack on a nitro and shootout it with the ub and keep one. probably in '09.
the VHT Sig X should be wicked
