Bogner Alchemist -> Module?

[james.fugate]

I realize the XTC is based on the Bogner Ecstasy.

I recently played through the Bogner Alchemist and fell in love. I love having that much gain and still have lots of definition. I play everything from sludgy southern metal to grind.

Can anyone give me some suggestions on what module would be best for duplicating the alchemist? Tube suggestions? Anything?

Man I hated that amp.....something that sounds fuzzy and doesn't ring overtones very clear.. :roll: :lol:

Thats the new bogner amp head right? Man....I played it about 15 minutes and the clean sounded ok, but the gain side sounded like crap. I dialed in everything I could. Did not like it at all. Even the manager at the music store took me to the side and said "these things are terrible"
I think just about anything from the MTS would blow it away. Get a XTC and send it out to Pete to mod it out. You will be surprised on what a good modded module will sound like if you want that "Heavy yet articulate" sound.

I listened to the samples on the Bogner site and I'd say it's pretty close to the Randall XTC. The Bogner has a more pronounced and less mushy bottom to it with a lump in the 90Hz range (guessing) like the Uberschall. The Bogner also sounds brighter overall. I'd say a modified XTC module would get you very close.
