I love this amp. 6 months after buying it, I still love it. I spent the extra coin for the matching 1x12 cab. it sounds phenomenal. it will do anything from country, blues, to metal. Yes I have gigged with it too. I end up with my masters around 1 o'clock on the dirty channels, which is weird to get used to because I've never had to turn one up that high, but It is a definitely sweet spot . These videos that Blake put out helped me make the decision to buy. Thank you.
Is the loop noisy? I've seen that from some people. Can it play low/moderate volumes (answer to this maybe depends on how noisy the loop is to activate the return "MV")?
Love The Cult tone at 8:43. I often play that or Peace Dog when listening to an amp for first time. Can't quite coax that out of my JJ Jr unless I set it JUST for that tone, and even then it's a little too modern.
@@blakemansfield2356 Hey man, I was fortunate to play this amp for like 3 hours myself. I ordered one, and I'm pretty excited! This is a big decision for me. I plan to run in tandem with the Helios. The effects loop on the one I demoed was excellent. Sounds like yours is too. Now that you've had it a bit, what are the amps greatest strengths and noted individual characteristics and conversely what do you perceive as its weakness or limitations? Great demos. How do you like its loop cross referencing against the VH2?
“IIIIII ought to see the man Mulcaheyyyy, I ought to the see the man Mulcaheyyy” 1:50 If you weren’t playing Character Zero by Phish then it sounded a damn whole lot like it by coincidence lol
Thanks for demo! Saw one on CL for $1800. Wanted to check out but already have 78 JMP 2404 and 79 DR!! Dig it but may not need such heavy tones with what pedals can do today!! You did a good job showing amps versatility!!
More than anything, this is an ad for low resistance/ low output pickups. I have BB 1&2 in my R0, they measure 7.4 and 7.9 respectively. Beautiful clean, clear, bright sound. You can hear the wood and the strings. Get a clear, clean, full high fidelity tone first, then boost it as necessary. You don't create overdrive with your pickups, unless this is 1972 and master volume amps haven't been invented yet. You create open transparent tone with pickups and shape it with your amp. VH used low impedance potted PAFs, he got a pretty good sound.
How does the Plexi Mode Sound on high gain, for classic rock like zeppelin and kiss, and for 80's hair metal, also on the plexi channel, on high gain? Basically, like a modded plexi high gain sound like Randy Rhoads, and Steve Stevens. If I bought this amp, I would use it with my 2020 USA Les Paul Classic, with 61 burstbuckers, going through my Friedman 4x12 cabinet, with greenbacks on top, and vintage 30's on the bottom..
This is Magic!!! you are nasty!! ;-) i was pretty sure that my next buy amp was a Friedman SmallBox...now i'm undecided..this bogner sounds incredible!! where i live in Italy both amps are pretty rare ( few shops have one and none in my city ). Have you any preference?, i've seen also your smallbox demo ? wich one do you prefer ? thanks Federico
Federico Memme Really tough call. The standard Smallbox doesn’t have a lot of gain for my tastes, but the wildwood Smallbox has a third channel with plenty of gain, so I like that version. Honestly both the 3534 and the Friedman are great. I’d probably go wildwood Smallbox if I had to choose.
Blake Mansfield thank you for the reply! About the gain for me it’s not a Big problem, i’m plenty of boost and od’s..in fact i prefer to not have too much gain on the amps and i prefer to use gtr volume and pedals to adjust the sound.. Now i’m using a mesa nomad with essentially a beod in front or aSoldano Hot rod wich is a single channel. i think a smallbox with some cool boost ord od in front will fits the problem!! thanks again. Federico
This clip pretty much sold me on the 3534. I owned a 101B up until about a week ago, but I'm liking these tones even better and the 101B is my favorite amp. Recorded tones sound stellar as well! What IR loader were you using with the Ownhammer IR, and which IR was this exactly? I don't have Ownhammer and looking at their site they have a ton of options.
Just ordered this bad boy! What’s the name of that first lick you were playing man??! What song ? You really showcased the tone this machine is made of! Subscribed
@@blakemansfield2356 Is it enough volume to actually solo or do you recommend using another channel to lift you high enough to solo? SO the question now is, why did you sell it?
Brent Sumner Yeah is day it’s enough to solo, but I guess that’s subjective. Maybe you like a really big jump for solos...not sure there. I’d say they did it very tastefully and practically. As far as selling it...I enjoyed the Bogner Goldfinger Superlead a lot more. They’re all great though
This is definitely one of the best XTCs models I’ve heard. Man your sucking some.. might I say, vintage Marshall tones from it? What cab/speaker combination are you running? How loud? Ive never heard a bogner sound like this..
You are killing me man! I've been contemplating a Shiva for a few years, prefered the EL34 version, but came across your video from a few years ago and that sold me. Now this video and I'm all twisted. So which one you bringing to the desert island? Great videos btw
Thanks for another great demo of a great amp ! Bogner is at the top of the hill of amp makers there are a lot of great choices besides his stuff however, he has it so dialed in ! Great playing here and the SG video too, love your tones and spot on riffs ! I know the JCM 800 Studio Classic 20 is a one channel pony but how would you gauge it to the blue and red channels of this beast ? I recall your tones were great on some of those videos from that amp too with many of the same riffs etc , they are both EL34 power sections just curious on your thoughts , Cheers
Thanks man. He is definitely my favorite amp builder - firmly rooted in classic designs with improvements that make playing guitar a joy. Concerning the mini 800 - it needed a lot of volume to sound right for me, at which point I'd rather just have have a 2204 honestly. I'd take this over the mini 800. While this 3534 may not be quite as raw, it is not a super polished sounding amp like some other designs. Tons of versatility and GREAT tones. I do wish it had a bigger sonic footprint like a 50 watt amp, that's my biggest gripe with the 3534. Kinda sounds like a lunchbox/full size hybrid, which I guess it is.
@@blakemansfield2356 Thanks for your input, is your 2204 what its sitting on ? I was leaning towards the studio classic or Atma I already have an 81' 2204 maybe this 3534 is the way to go, you made it sound so good I may just have to get it !
erik4971 I believe it’s sitting on my JMP 2203. And in that case, if you already have a 2204, this would be a really cool alternative to have for sure. My absolute favorite Bogner though is the GF Superlead. That thing is just 🔥 for what I do.
has anyone taken this on a gig and played next to a drummer and bass? how well does it hold playing a band? I'm not finding it holds up even vs some simple combos. WHat am I doing wrong guys?
This was years ago, but do you remember how good this was at low volume? I often play through my twonotes, and I found one of these used, but since it has no master volume I'm sort of skeptical. I saw on the back if has a loop return "MV", but I've heard of the loop being noisy on these also. I basically just want to know if this would be unbearable through the headphone out of my twonotes.
will I be disappointed going from an 80 watt shiva to this? i run through a 4x12 cab and play in a cover band, we mic everything and normally never turn the shiva up past 9 oclock. I had a mesa mark V 35 watt but it didnt have the umphh I needed.
i had a mesa mark v 35, sold it for a bogner shiva combo 80 watt and like it but would rather have something smaller for gigging. This thing have enough power for a 4x12? The mesa did but was missing some low end.
WeareSouledOut Absolutely!! Especially with the choices of excursion. That along with the bright voicing switches helps immensely in tailoring what’s going on with any speaker cabinet you use.
Sound great! Would you mind sharing how you processed the tone? Are you getting the reverb from a plugin in you daw or from an effect processor of sort? What is it? Sounds great.
do you think this amp would be loud enough for medium to large venues playing heavy metal???? they all sound good at room levels, but once cranked they seem to get thinned out and not loud enough, Im talking about smaller lower wattage amps.
Of those two, the GF SL, but I haven’t played the new 50 watt xtc. The GF just sounded bigger to me. However, it doesn’t have the 3 channel versatility if the 3534
@@blakemansfield2356 I am not interested in having 3 channels, just in the quality of the gain. I am only using the crunch channel of every amp anyway and just turn the volume down to clean up. I am purely interested in the quality of the gain of an amp. Out of all the amps you've played, please name the top 3 with the best quality gain. Thanks again
@@zafira976 what kind of music are we talking? How much gain? For crunchy mid gain stuff (straight up rock)…the GF is a great option but the blue channel of the big boy xtc is great as well. I also like just a stock 800 for that sort of thing
@@blakemansfield2356 So the XTC and the GF are top choices out of all the amps you've tried including all other brands. The genre is pretty much anything from low clean gain to a singing lead tone with a good sustain to play crazy arpeggios and Greg Howe style Tapped arpeggios and some nice rick riffs. No need for red channels in my playing as I would keep the Blue Channel's gain at around 6 and boost the volume a little during the solos. At the moment I am playing a Cornford Hellcat which is fine but it lacks a bit on that sweet top end I hear in the Bogner amplifiers
@@blakemansfield2356 Hi Blake, I am interested in getting as much of that chewy Bogner character as possible, not in how big the amp sounds as in the mix the low end gets cut out anyway. You recon the 3435 is as chewy as Bogners get or is there another amp that is even chewier? The 3435 does sound fantastic in this video
rrguitar1 if you want clarity and want the Mesa name plate, try the Triple crown. Although I must warn you, the Triple Crown lacks bottom end or “oomph” that The Mark series or Rectos are known for
Wow. I'm about to buy a V:35. Then somehow ran into the Bogners and found this. I know Bogner is a big name, but this amp seems underrated and underhyped? Like, Friedman's taking all the attention these days. I like that this has 3 channels. I like to have cleans, overdrive and high-gain. With 2 channel amps I have to run a clean, crunch and increase to high-gain with a Tubescreamer. This seems to be a better option. I did consider the Triple Crown for the 3 channels, but reviews are very mixed on it. Some love it, some hate it.
@@rrguitar1 Thanks for the feedback. The EL34s alone mean a lot. Plus, 3 channels. And it's only about, what? $150 more than the Mark V:35? I wonder why it isn't as popular.
@@jjnewbold I have an Ecstasy Classic that I LOVE and it definitely can get that tone without having to crank it up too loud. Just like the one above. I am guessing that BC probably used an old Marshall Plexi or something along those lines to get the tone that's on the record. But who can dime out a Plexi on stage or at home without pissing off the sound engineer or your neighbors? Or go deaf in the process?
@@TheAlexRude the ecstacy seems to have more low-mid chewiness than classic Marshalls. The Laundry amps do the low volume thing so well, but sound very Van Halen, lots of top end and harmonics. I don't know if they would get me there.
Nice playing Blake! I managed to snatch one of these for myself too, it’s a great sounding amp! Have you tried using the fx loop? I find there’s a considerable amount of hiss from mine, when the loop is engaged. Have you noticed that on yours?
Blake Mansfield just ordered one, it will be here next week! Trying to determine the best 4x12 cab to pair with. Thinking of a V30 loaded Bogner 4x12 or an Uberkab. What do you think?
Guitar Shredder Damn dude you aren’t playing around! Hard to say concerning which cab. I’d personally prob go with all V30s or the Helios cab which is Greenbacks on top and V30s on bottom ala Friedman
@@BlackYetiWhite Go with the Bogner Standard with V30. That's what I'm using with My Ecstasy 101B and with my now sold Helios 100 and Bogner Eclipse. Best cab out there and I've own a few of the best.

Hows the red channel on this compare with the snorkler?
More than anything, this is an ad for low resistance/ low output pickups. I have BB 1&2 in my R0, they measure 7.4 and 7.9 respectively. Beautiful clean, clear, bright sound. You can hear the wood and the strings. Get a clear, clean, full high fidelity tone first, then boost it as necessary. You don't create overdrive with your pickups, unless this is 1972 and master volume amps haven't been invented yet. You create open transparent tone with pickups and shape it with your amp. VH used low impedance potted PAFs, he got a pretty good sound.
what would be some good examples of low impedance humbucker pickups? I play mostly rock, metal, and blues and need dirt high gain for my guitars.
You’re describing low output pickups, not low impedance. Low impedance would be active like EMG’s.
@@stevemineer2857 Thank you, you are correct. I should have used the term "resistance" instead of "impedance".
Sweet tone

Wow. I'm about to buy a V:35. Then somehow ran into the Bogners and found this. I know Bogner is a big name, but this amp seems underrated and underhyped? Like, Friedman's taking all the attention these days. I like that this has 3 channels. I like to have cleans, overdrive and high-gain. With 2 channel amps I have to run a clean, crunch and increase to high-gain with a Tubescreamer. This seems to be a better option. I did consider the Triple Crown for the 3 channels, but reviews are very mixed on it. Some love it, some hate it.
@@PinchTune This bogner is imo, miles ahead of the mark. My opinion.
@@rrguitar1 Thanks for the feedback. The EL34s alone mean a lot. Plus, 3 channels. And it's only about, what? $150 more than the Mark V:35? I wonder why it isn't as popular.
BLUE Channel Low gain ??
What is that you're riffing on at the 2 minute mark?
Random riff
I love it man!!! how many watt is it?
thmz83 Think it’s about 40 watts
This or mesa tc100?
Have you had any issues with noise coming from the loop?
Do you still have this? Looking at this for an upgrade to my 5150ii 6l6 50 watt.
I do not. Would still recommend it if you dig the sounds in this clip
Podrías contarme si es verdad que el bucle de fx es ruidoso ?
I believe that has been fixed
@@blakemansfield2356como lo han solucionado? Podrías ayudarme con más información por que bogner no me da respuesta
Is this a good amp for getting that solo tone from Hard to Handle by The Black Crowes? That tone always made me think of Bogner, so fat and chewy.
I know for sure that later on one of the cats in Black Crowes definitely used a Bogner Ecstasy live. Killer tones.
@@TheAlexRude absolutely. Do you think this amp captures those Black Crowes tones like the 101B? But quieter?
@@jjnewbold I have an Ecstasy Classic that I LOVE and it definitely can get that tone without having to crank it up too loud. Just like the one above. I am guessing that BC probably used an old Marshall Plexi or something along those lines to get the tone that's on the record. But who can dime out a Plexi on stage or at home without pissing off the sound engineer or your neighbors? Or go deaf in the process?
@@TheAlexRude the ecstacy seems to have more low-mid chewiness than classic Marshalls. The Laundry amps do the low volume thing so well, but sound very Van Halen, lots of top end and harmonics. I don't know if they would get me there.
I am a Gibson guy and i want to thank you for this nice video. Do you still enjoy that amp? Any problems??
Jerry W No problems. Great amp but not THE amp for me.
@@blakemansfield2356 What is your number 1 amp these days?
Jerry W Goldfinger SL and JMP2203 are what I have. I love both for different reasons. The GF SL is really special
@@blakemansfield2356 You are a great player. I love your videos. You rock! Where are you from?
Jerry W I’m in Virginia Beach 🏖
How is the effects loop on this amp? Is it noisy at all? Thanks Sounds Great!
Don’t think I ever used the loop
@@blakemansfield2356 ok thanks
This is a crazy question I know... But, do you remember which own hammer ir you were using? It sounds fantastic!
I don’t remember the exact one for sure but it’s the Bogner 4x12 V30. I almost always use OH1 or OH2 so likely one of those two
@@blakemansfield2356 thanks. I have that pack I'll have to try it out.
You think green mode is good enough for crystal Fenderlish , otherwise it has its own sonic character ? Accept pedals well? Awesome demo...
very nice demo man! what software are you using to upload the IR's?
Nice playing Blake! I managed to snatch one of these for myself too, it’s a great sounding amp! Have you tried using the fx loop? I find there’s a considerable amount of hiss from mine, when the loop is engaged. Have you noticed that on yours?
Viljami Aittomäki I never did notice that at all. Did you get it figured out?
Killer. What cab are you running it through?
Thanks dude- using a Suhr RL with a V30 from Ownhammer
Blake Mansfield just ordered one, it will be here next week! Trying to determine the best 4x12 cab to pair with. Thinking of a V30 loaded Bogner 4x12 or an Uberkab. What do you think?
Guitar Shredder Damn dude you aren’t playing around! Hard to say concerning which cab. I’d personally prob go with all V30s or the Helios cab which is Greenbacks on top and V30s on bottom ala Friedman
@@BlackYetiWhite Go with the Bogner Standard with V30. That's what I'm using with My Ecstasy 101B and with my now sold Helios 100 and Bogner Eclipse. Best cab out there and I've own a few of the best.
@@blakemansfield2356 What V30 from Ownhammer? I own the whole Ownhammer library and I'm also using the Suhr RL
Were you using the loop master volume ?
what riff/song
is it at 7.15?
What speakers were used
What speakers ?
