Topic: Bogner Shiva's???

These are my favorite amps.  I cant afford them but I have yet to hear a better sound out of a tube amp.  I was just curious what you all thought of them.  They dont get alot of talk here on this site.

I'd really be curious to hear what Joe thinks of them.

Great amp!

    Excellent Clean Tones, and some really righteous OD too! One of the better channel switching amps I've seen. Very professional, and solid.

Here's Joe's take on one he tried.

I tried the Shiva....  For me it was too bright and too scooped in the mids.  It reminded me alot of the ENGL stuff.  Super compressed gain channel and nice clean side.. If forced to use one I would drive the clean channel and use a boost or Tube Screamer.  That would be best.. Not bad, not for me though

I've never tried one, but have always wanted to. I don't think I've ever heard anything bad about them.
