i could not believe how amazing joneser's rig sounded at SDUGD ... playing scott's R8 (pair of ants) thru it was just a tonal bliss ... i had never played either an R8 or a bogner and it was such a revelation abotu what real tone is ... i gotta believe that you'll dig the bogner cab ... and in fact, now that you're infected with the experience in your ears, you really won't be happy til you own it or something that knocks your socks off even more ... alec has it right ... play a ton of gear -

i got a baaaad feeling i would ABSOLUTELY LOVE a Bogner if i heard/played it in person...my wallet/bank account prays i never do!!!

and bro...trust me...once you get it for something (like a bogner 4x12), just buy it and be done with it!

In my opinion, Boogie cabs do not sound good with V30s. If you want to dramatically improve your M/B cabs, simply replace the V30s for some C90s. They are a much better speaker for the design of the Boogie cab line.

mike, i'm tellin ya' ... don't play one until you can see your way clear to one ... it really was that good, and i only played one classic rock tune for 3 and a half minutes with just the crunchy tone for rhythm and then the boost for my solo ... i didnt even get to really explore the lgendary cleans or anything in the gain dept.

put it on the 'lottery list' though

Actually, I must confess - the Bogner tone is magical. I would build around it. It gives you the huge cleans, the bloom, responsiveness, saturation, adn it records like a dream. One good Bogner and you can add anythign with it you want - Marshall, Soldano, etc.

First amp I played that can really do R&B, blues, Jazz, hard rock, metal, and the tone doesn't let you lie or hide. That's why I started figuring a Bogner cab was a good addition. I never realized how much differently brands voice their cabs.

I love the Mesa C90, but never had a ton of luck recording it. I think I like that its balanced, bassy and not harsh - the very things that keep it from owning a mix. I have not used it as often WITH V30s, perhaPs that's a mistake. The other problem - they need to get REALLY loud to sound good, and then they are too loud.

I haev almost sold both of my Mesa cabs.

LOCALLY THERE IS A BOGNER WITH GREENBACKS AND A BOGNER WITH GREENBACKS/G12M70S FOR SALE BOTH 4X12... HMMMMMMM. I usually take a 2x12 live. So do I go 2x12 + my combo or with my heads, or get a second 4x12? If I get a second 4x12 - V30s or Greenbacks, G12H30s or a mix?

Any negatives in wiring for stereo? I like the idea of 2 heads thru one cab.
