Bogner Goldfinger 45 Superlead Head and 2X12 Celestion Loaded Cabinet Ivory Ivory NEW

Bogner Goldfinger SL Superlead 45 Watt Head Ivory with Matching Bogner Celestion loaded 2X12 Cabinet

The Goldfinger is based around the rich harmonic textures of the iconic 6V6 tube. Known for having a nice warmth and a creamy breakup at fairly low volumes, the 6V6 sings like an EL34 but has more chime for cleaner bell like tones. The combination of the channels with the availability of a pre and post effects loop makes this amplifier a Guitar System which lets you route your guitar signal as needed without downloading the original audio signal.

The post effects loop is the more common found loop between pre amp and power amp. The loop can be operated in series or parallel and has a level switch to be set accordingly to the effects unit used. Parallel mode lets you mix your effects via a control to the pure dry signal. Series takes the entire dry signal and routes it through your effects unit, series can also be used as a volume boost.

The pre effects loop is incredibly unique and a first in amplifier designs. Actually, the second time, since in 1995 Reinhold designed and produced a limited 60 unit run of the hand wired Caveman amplifiers which featured a tube buffered pre effects loop. While this loop worked well and served its purpose for the 100% pure sound, you still had to plug the guitar directly into the channel inputs.

After rethinking the problem, Reinhold came up with a new pre loop design that's featured for the first time in the Goldfinger. The problem is solved: if the pre loop is not engaged the amplifier will only see the pure guitar signal without it going through any switches or relays. This means if your guitar is plugged straight into the Goldfinger's input and any other effect pedals, loopers, routers etc., that would normally be used between the guitar and amplifier, are connected through the Goldfinger's loop, you still retain a 100% pure guitar tone! Please note this pre loop is a non-buffered circuit design.

Goldfinger 45 - The quartet of 6V6's delivers 45 watts of clean headroom and can be scaled down to 30, 23 or 15 watts.

*Bogner Goldfinger 2x12" Open Cabinet Ivory. Open compliments Goldfinger (G12H30+GB25).

The Goldfinger is a very unique amplifier so it was only natural for us to create a unique 2X12 cabinet to go with it. The Bogner 2120GF open back 2x12 cabinet features a diagonally mounted Celestion G12H30 and a Greenback 25 speaker. This is the most efficient and resonant 2x12 cabinets. The 50 Watt open back projects well and compliments the Goldfinger head with full pure body tone. Bogner selected this combination to end up with a clean yet articulate cabinet with plenty of power. The growl from the gain channel is second to none.
