It’s not just about replacing components, but rather, how you integrate the components into the overall circuit making fine-tune adjustments to balance and blueprint the final design. Look into your old Vox and you will see classic Wima branded capacitors.

Especially for pc mount construction in highly complex circuits where space is a concern. Now does this mean the other Ecstasy’s have lower grade capacitors? No not at all, we use the German made Wima capacitors and these are the best tonal choice for different circuit designs. Additional circuit adjustments and refinements were implemented to maximize the vintage tonal character of these new capacitors, which all together, give the new 20th Anniversary it’s massive, iconic Golden-Era of Ecstasy tone. However, once this process started, we quickly realized that replacing the capacitors was only the beginning. We purchased all the available brands and meticulously went trough the entire audio signal chain of our Ecstasy circuit incorporating these vintage style capacitors into the design. These new capacitors are very expensive and mostly hand made in their construction so we were intrigued to hear how they sounded. In the past few years many new boutique capacitors have come on the market such as the Sozo brand which focus on replicating the vintage toneful capacitors from the 60’s.
However, the 20th Anniversary model features it’s own unique circuit and many refinements never before seen. The 20th Anniversary is our finest evolution of the Ecstasy line that started with the 100B, then 101B, and Classic Options. All other color and grill options are available for the usual up charge, however the Metal Grill option is not available.

To further celebrate our 20 year anniversary this series is offered in white tolex with a classic salt & pepper grill at no additional up charge which applies to the cabinet as well if ordered together with a head. We consider this model to be the new “Flagship” in the Ecstasy line with the most organic and open sound yet.Īvailable as an option to the base model the 20th Anniversary has a plexi panel with gold background and is housed in a slightly larger head shell for an iconic and classic vintage vibe. In 2009 we celebrated our 20th year of Bogner USA and wanted to create something special for our amplifier line enter the 20th Anniversary Ecstasy model.
The Ecstasy 101 comes standard with an amazing array of controls: 1/2 power switch, Old/New style switch, 3-way Excursion switches to control speaker cabinet dampening, two presence controls (one assignable), gain boost, Plexi-mode, Structure, Three Pre-EQ switches, Tube buffered series/parallel FX loop. Imagine going from our notorious barking Plexi mode, to the greasiest, harmonically chewy overdrive and then washing it all down with the lushest most decadent clean tone. The Ecstasy comes with either E元4 or 6L6 power tubes and by using our foot-switch, you can access 6 tuned variations of these channels instantly. The standard features of our Ecstasy 101 allow the “DNA” of the 3 distinctly voiced channels to be radically morphed into sounds of the past, present and future. Our Ecstasy series heads were designed to breath like sweet old amps…all living in one box.
