Bogner Shiva - Jerry Cantrell's OG Tone! 

Thank you very much. I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel. Much more to come!

Would you say the Shiva has that heavy Facelift tone?

The relative lack of gain on the shiva really only comes out if you’re going for liquid lead tones Also, motor city guitar is a great store and I highly recommend anyone check them out if you’re visiting Detroit. Incredible drum selection too

@Evan Maunders seems to respond to a boost very well. I can't even imagine how awesome it would be to A-B this with a Soldano SLO.

I want to try that amp but I think I may end up with a Revv Generator. Is it more aggressive than the Shiva?

Yea. It can get nasty ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z8LuBnd_Xxs.html

I've been hearing good things about that new amplifier, I want to check one out as soon as I'm able

I have one, fantastic !!! Great job my friend I hope you can try one!!!

@@felipevenrros Thank you, congratulations on the amp as well. Hopefully I can get my hands-on one

Good question. I basically hit it with a boast to make it more responsive and tighter. I don't know if I remember it being harsh or not. Sorry, I wish I could be more of help to you but I don't remember it being harsh. Everybody has different tastes though. I totally respect that

I think they are decent amplifiers if you're going for that type of tone. I usually look for something that's more aggressive but that said, they sound great for that style of music. Pretty pricey though

Mud killer

Good to know. I prefer the Uberschall over the Shiva

It's a good amp for classic 90s and late 80s rock tines.

I thought it sounded great with the overdrive and without for a nice crunch tone. It’s a refined JCM basically. You don’t need that much gain in a mix or recording otherwise it gets convoluted. I wish I tried a Bogner. Looking forward to trying the Synergy Ecstasy in the future.

If memory serves, I used the mud killer

It's a decent amp IMHO. Not my favorite, but some people really like it

Dustan, thanks for the input. I have the 20th Shiva and am thinking of converting it to EL34s. Do you recommend over the KT88s?

@@Bognerman14 we only ever serviced the tubes in it once and we stayed with kt88's. The way I have been lead to understand kt88's is they are lower powered. El34's apparently have more headroom. To be clear I'm not 100% sure about this. If you get your tone with your preamp section and not your power section (meaning cranking the hell out of the amp till the power section is clipping), you will likely not notice much difference from different tubes. Let me ask. What is it you're looking for that you want to change tubes? I mean if youjuat wanna try something different, go for it. If you're looking to change your tone, this will not be an effective option.

@@smeemusic HI, everything I know is that KT88s have a lot more hear room than EL34s. I was looking for that creamy mids of EL34s and closer to a Marshall vibe at times. Trying to find the best speaker match. Love it with Redbacks, creamback and English V30s.

@@Bognerman14 sry I did know one has more headroom than the other just had it backwards. unfortunately tubes won't provide a different mid response or curve or change the top or bottom end. If you're looking for more creamy mids, maybe try the celestion creamback. I think they named that one deliberately lol. Yeah the speaker choice will certainly get you some results. I've spent hours researching different speakers for what I want in my tone. Dv77 seems to be the speaker for me these days. They have a fuller low mid range. Kinda what I'm into personally. But yeah there's a couple different creambacks. Maybe one of those will nail it for ya. Maybe even a greenback would be a solid option. Especially if you've been running v30's.

@@smeemusic Thanks. I am running it thru one cab with Redbacks and UK V30s and sounds great plus I am building another cab this week with Creambacks and Redbacks. I love low mids too and the Shiva has that plus I like the thickness and fullness of the Redback. I like the DV77 too. A lot of music I love and play today was written on amps like Marshalls with EL34s. Like 6L6s too. My cabs are: Bogner 412 - Redback/Creamback Splawn 412 - Redback/UK Mesa V30 Bogner 212 - Redbacks Stone Age 212 - K100/UK Mesa V30

Sorry for the late reply, I'm gonna do a video about that very soon

I very much prefer the Revv. Ch 4 is a great lead channel. Thick leads all day

@@TONEWARSgearshow Awesome! I love the Shiva for my 90s, early 2000s rock and hard rock amp. Now with the Revv, I will have classic to modern metal! :) I used to always prefer EL34s, but I see the Revv comes stock with 6L6s. Thanks again!

@@TONEWARSgearshow Hi again. Sorry to bother you. Would you mind telling me how good the effects loop is? I struggle with finding good amp loops. I've even considered ditching amps and going the Kemper route and goodbye to tube amps. I can't find what I want from clean to aggressive leads with a GOOD loop and I'm hoping the Revv can do that. Or I'm done and will move to modeling or profiling.

@@Bognerman14 No problem at all. The Revv Generator mkiii effect loop is great. I've had no issues with it at all

@@TONEWARSgearshow Thanks for the input.

I know haha. Hooked on phonics didn't work for me

Yes it is, thanks for asking

@@TONEWARSgearshow what did they say was causing the issue if you don’t mind me asking?

Reza is a bad doode with a whole lot of even badder Gear!🤘

See, I’m the opposite. To me a good Marshall clobbers a bogner. Marshall has so much more open, raw and aggressive tone. If you had a two guitar band with a Marshall and bogner, the bogner would really struggle to compete. It’s not a quality thing, just the bogner sound is dialed heavily in the low mids and they don’t cut like a Marshall.

@@brandonbryson3317 right! But that's just way over my head! I've had both, and for me and the style of music I like, the bogner buries marshal, as far as tone. but you're explanation of the bogner may be why I like it better. I'm into stoner metal and it fits perfectly for me.

Marshall is overrated junk not hard to beat

@@greggblankley6222 I don't know if I would say overrated junk, maybe they are! I'm not really that experienced, in that field, but I have now had both, and for what I like to play and hear, bogner smoke's the competition! I don't know why orange are such a popular brand. I had one of those little small, orange amps, and it sounded like pure shit! Maybe their more powerful amps, have a much different, and better sound, but it was awful!

Splawn Quick Rod!!!! Does that Marshall thing better than Marshall 🤘
