Ok, that's epic internet fail material..... you have to have pics

I'd try a 59n, they are great depending on the guitar. If not distinct or defined enough, then SH-2n Jazz. Those are always solid choices. Regardless, actual results are splitting hairs

Totally worth it, definately unique, sitting between an XTC and Uber tonaly. Mean little thing. I'll also say it does not overlap with the Helios Eclipse, the Eclipse is firmly in modified Marshall world (with some Bogner flavor and feel) and spectacular at what it does. The Snorkler is epic at...

Bought one local in Milwaukee, met the guy and gave him X cash, a couple of nights ago and we had to wait for cash app hold (ya know, for our own protection 🙄) He's dropping it off tomorrow, he had new years gigs too.

Tech matters and is enlightening, likewise, we all know a Recto and SLO are identical preamps, but don't react or sound very similar. I should have a Snorkler in about two hours.... let's see....

They may be very, very similar - but it is even noted (on these forums no less) that the QR has a lot of Marshall in its tone where the Snorkler, and Bogner in general, tend to deviate a little further from those roots.

Appreciate the recommendation, but they aren't vastly different in price, used or new, and I suspect the Snorkler is a better fit for the unique grind and attack that I'm looking for.

Thanks for the info! Looks like I should grab a Snorkler soon and try it out.

I would echo Duncan Distortion. There's a lot to like about the JB, and if more chunk and aggression is the ask, DD is the answer. Never had many issues getting a reasonable clean out it for being fairly high output.

HH Super strat for me, coil splits, Floyd - I'm not even good enough to employ that setup properly, but that's what I grew up on.

Appreciate the insight! I was suspecting it may overlap a good bit in sound with the Helios Eclipse as that's the most "modded" Marshall Bogner makes and the Snorkler was his first modded Marshall, though I've read the Snorkler preamp is quite different than most Marshall mods. I like the...

Good choice, though I'd still fix that tone control. 500K minimum if not a no load.

Since Bogner amps are all birds of a feather in tone, which I love, I have been curious if anyone has any insight into how much the Helios Eclipse, Uber, or an XTC may overlap tone wise with the Snorkler 50. I haven't found any direct comparisons or even posts across the web. In other words...

💯 I love the percussive nature and attack of the sound on AJFA, but playing it is horrible. Love the expressive mids on Rust in Peace, but it's a muddy, undefined mess playing it with that tone. EVH tone on the early albums is so good, it works for those types of playing with an amp that does...

I have an AXE-FX II XL+......I tinkered with the modeling when I rewired the rack. It's remarkably good, but it isn't like the real thing. It's functional, sounds decent, and the feel is reasonable but take their Fish model back-to-back with a Fish re-issue and it's not the same. Chicken head...
