Have A Chance On A Bogner 20th Anniversary XTC.

[la szum]

It's slight, but it is a glimmer of hope. It would require moving a considerable amount of gear,
and I bought an Harley this Summer, and a Car for my Son.

Life is short and I am not getting any younger. But maybe.... just maybe I can pull this off. If I do
this I need to move quickly.

Bogners are sweet amps

They are. Have had an handful over the years, but never an XTC. It's the last
amp I want to purchase. I am solidifying and narrowing down my focus.


It'll require moving my Goldfinger 45. Anyone want a Goldfinger 45.

XTC 20th anniversary amps are incredible. That amp's red channel is something special.

The huge issue with XTC’s is they need herds of volume to get the channels evened out right.
Always fidgeting one of the channels.
Been through them channel juggernauts one too many times.
If you have a Butt’finger 45, keep it plugged
& stay with it.

I’ve had the good fortune of meeting him a few times. An interesting character is an understatement.

Yep, I did own one. Ultimately it was just a bit too similar to the XTC 101B I have so I couldn't justify keeping both at the price, and I was already used to the 101B because I'd had it for quite a bit longer, but I'd recommend an XTC 20th to anybody.

The key difference between the 101B and the XTC 20th is that the XTC 20th is a slightly stiffer and more modern amp. This makes the 20th's Red channel a bit clearer and more expressive, overall a bit better than the 101B's Red channel (personally I think the XTC 20th's Red channel might be the best pure, smooth mid/high gain tone for leads ever made), but the 101B's Blue channel benefits from the 101B being slightly more vintage and squishy, so I think the Blue channel is just a hair better on the 101B. The 20th's Blue channel has very slightly less gain and is maybe "too clear" in the highs for me, but that honestly might be able to be resolved with more tweaking than I ended up doing.

Either way, incredible amp overall.

edit: oh and the XTC 20th has one of the sweetest, best sounding clean channels I've ever heard in a channel switcher. Like "end your quest for warm clean tones" good.
