July 2008 two new cabinet models
We added a 4x12" open and a 2x12"-2x10" to our line, these are smaller then our 4x12 closed ones. We had these since 1995 but they were never offically sold except to a few artists.

Guitarist Australia (June/July Issue 21, 2008) awards the Bogner Shiva (EL34 Reverb Head) the "Guitarist Choice Award"
"All in all the Shiva is a great amp that's simple to use, has heaps of power and produces serious solid tones. It's a getting - down - to - business amp that has everything the pro player needs without the any peripheral stuff that other manufactures include as vaue added features, to sell you on their product. This amp sells itself."

Duende review in Guitarist April 2008
"Perhaps one easy way to understand what this amp can do is to think of it as the ultimate supercharged Tweed Deluxe"

Namm Show January 2008

New Products

Duende 30W with a pair of 6L6, available as head, 1x12, or 2x12 combo
For the players which want more headroom and a bit tighter feel..

Duende 1x10 combo
This amp has an adjusted power amp which includes a special designed output transformer for great tone at low volumes through an Emminence speaker. We use a 5y3 rectifier tube to get the power down from 15 to 12, but it's not so much about the power as it is about efficiency of the output transformer and speaker. It took us a while to dial the enclosure, speaker and amp in to our satisfaction but in the end it was worth the trouble. This amp sounds different then the regular Duende and oh boy if you turn it all the way up you get a great sound as well.

Duende 1x10 (40lbs) versus 1x12 (50lbs)

Duende 812 Seco Mojado
This amp has the regular 15W Duende through the front 12" speaker and a second 15W power amp mounted inside the combo on bottom which drives a pair of Weber 8" speakers on the left and right side. The reverb signal is taped on the main amp and fed through the second power amp so you get the dry sound through the front 12"er and the reverb through the 8"ers on the sides. This gives a real dimensional sound, especially in an enclosed room you have the sound bouncing back from the walls. The second power amp features an additional input so you can run other effects into it, think delay or a leslie .... for a real space excursion. Endless possibilities!

New pics from the road/studio with Tom Bukovac and LONESTAR and RASCALL FLATTS

Tom Bukovac Nashville session monster with his Ecstasy 101B. Congrats on his 2006 Acadamy of Country Music Award Nomination for Top Guitarist! You've heard his soulful playing and wicked tones on many huge hits with artists Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson, LeAnn Rimes, Carrie Underwood, Rascall Flatts, Van Zant + many others.
From Vintage Guitar Magazine Article:
"Amp wise, Tom uses a variety of new and old amps. In his amp rack you'll find along with a 1967 Fender Dual Showman and red tolex 50-watt Marshall, an early 90's Matchless Chieftain and a Bogner Ecstasy. My favorite amp though is the Bogner. It changed my life, it's good for everything. It's the dream amp for me.? "
