BOGNER TRIPLE GIANT
This is an extremely rare original green-face Bogner Triple Giant. There were only 25 Triple Giants made in the late Eighties and most of them were silver-faced. Supposedly only 3 green-faced models were produced. These were handbuilt by Bogner himself and this one is signed on the right side of the rear panel in green paint marker. These units exclusively went out to top artists of the time tailored to what they wanted in each channel. This is truly a collector's item, in addition to being a fantastic sounding tube amp.
The Triple Giant consists of 3 channels with different tone and character. "Sharp", "Brown", and "Country".
Country, with Clean to mild break up blues.
Brown, is cranked plexi with full low end and moderate gain (great with overdrive pedals)
Sharp, is worth the price of admission. High gain 80's and metal sounds ala Jerry Cantrell and most of the hair metal magic.
Serial #007
Includes a recently made foot pedal that allows for switching between channels.
Only issue found is the clean gain control turn up the volume and gain at about 2.5 on the dial and turn down if the gain is past 8. Works fine everywhere in between. May just need a cleaning or anew pot, but it works fine within that range as is.
I bought it with the hopes of a nice rack rig but I just don't have the time to dedicate to it. This is a steal for this preamp.
