Bogner Überschall Twin Jet, Metallgrill · Guitar Amp Head
New channel concept: Contrary to the classic design of the normal supersonic (clean and lead), the Supersonic Twin Jet has a reworked first channel that delivers semi-clean to hot rodded high gain lead sounds. The second channel has become somewhat more flexible.
The Twin Jet variant is easily recognizable by its white grille plate and the additional Master Presence and Depth Control. The power amp of the Bogner Supersonic Twin Jet is equipped with 4 KT88 power amplifiers and delivers a little more than 150 watts with even more attack and response than the standard version.
Reinhold Bogner had designed, built and modified amplifiers long before he left Germany for the USA. In Los Angeles, he quickly gained the confidence of many influential guitarists such as Steve Stevens, Dan Huff, Allan Holdsworth, Michael Landau and Steve Vai, who especially appreciated his ability to modify their amps to their satisfaction. Eddie Van Halen confided enough ino Reinhold to get him his No. 1 Marshall Plexi back and resurrect. Eddie was satisfied and Bogner Amplification was born.
