Bogner Ecstasy Blue · Guitar Effect
The Bogner Ecstasy Blue distortion guitar effects pedal is based on the Blue channel of Bogner XTC Ecstasy head amps that can be selected via the switch Mode Structure: The Classic 100 Ecstasy,Ecstasy 101, and the 20th Anniversary Ecstasy heads. The Bogner Ecstasy pedal has a switchable and adjustable gain boost, with a mini-controller for gain and volume boost. There are two modes available and Plexi and Blue, a pre EQ Normal, Bright 1 and Bright 2 mode, and the Variac mode.
The Bogner Ecstasy Blue pedal features five discrete Class A gain stages and no op-amps or diode clipping, copying the circuitry of the Ecstasy amplifier’s Blue channel. This design provides clarity, touch sensitivity and note separation never before achieved in overdrive pedals.
