Bogner Ecstasy Blue Mini Overdrive

Bogner · pedal

The Bogner Ecstasy Blue Mini is a compact overdrive preamp pedal based on the Blue channel of Bogner's celebrated Ecstasy amplifier. Covers the range from subtle clean boost and lightly enhanced crunch through harmonically complex vintage crunch tones. A Plexi mode engages a squashy, compressed voicing associated with early Marshall plexi amplifiers. A three-mode selector covers boost, clean, and full preamp modes. A 3-band EQ with global boost provides wide tone shaping. Sought by players wanting the Bogner Ecstasy amplifier character in compact pedal format.
