Bogner Unveils Ecstasy Red and Blue Mini Pedals
The new versions of Bogner's popular distortion units pack plenty of punch into a smaller box.
Bogner has unveiled mini versions of its Ecstasy Red and Blue pedals.
The smaller boxes do away with foot controllable boost and battery operation but come equipped with active tone controls, sweepable mid frequency range, Variac and pre-EQ switches, as well as a new gain mode selector for basic channel gain or boosted gain mode.
The Ecstasy Red offers modern high-gain tones, while the Ecstasy Blue shoots for more classic Plexi sounds.
Features of the Ecstasy minis include:
- Master Controls: Gain, Treble, Middle, Bass and Volume
- Mode Switch: Plexi and Blue modes offer vintage lower-gain or modified higher-gain levels
- Structure Switch: 100, 101 and 20th Anniversary settings offer EQ shifts and gain structures from various eras and models of Ecstasy amplifiers
