Ecstasy Classic
This demo was recorded with a Carvin DC127 with a Duncan Custom in the bridge, and that's the only pickup used on this demo. The Ecstasy was played into the Bogner Überkabinet, with an SM57 on the Vintage 30 and a Sennheiser MD421-II on the G12T-80.
The first 32 seconds of the demo is all Blue Channel (rhythms and solo). From 32 seconds to the end, it's all Red Channel.
The eq for the gain channels is pictured below. For the power section, Presence was at 1:00, Full Power setting and New voicing.
The demo sprung from a comparison I wanted to do of the Bogner amps. There are also Shiva and Überschall versions of the same rhythm tracks (bass/drums) in their respective sections below. The signal chain is a Vigier Excalibur Custom (Duncan Custom in bridge and Lil'59 in neck) into the Ecstasy Classic on the red channel-boost on, into a Bogner 4x12 loaded with Celestion G12H-30's, and miced with an SM57 and Studio Projects C3.

Shiva
I recorded this demo using an Ibanez RG3120 (stock) and Agile Les Paul copy (stock) for the rhythms (panned hard L/R), and the RG3120 for all the lead parts. The amp settings are shown below, I had the boost on for all tracks, and used a THD 2x12 cabinet (Classic Lead 80's).
This demo was recorded using three guitars. An Ibanez RG3120 (stock) was used for the lead parts through the entire demo, as well as the first rhythm section until the "clean" part at about 36 seconds. An Agile LP copy was used for the clean parts in the middle, and a Carvin DC727 was used for the 7 string rhythms to the end of the demo. A Bogner 4x12 cabinet, loaded with Celestion G12H-30's was used (speakers were not quite broken in yet). I used various amp settings throughout this demo, and did not shoot any EQ pictures.
The following five clips are the same song, recorded five separate times, through five different Celestion speaker types
This demo is a counterpart of the Ecstasy-Überschall-Shiva "comparison 1 demo." The signal chain is a Vigier Excalibur Custom (Duncan Custom in bridge and Lil'59 in neck) into channel 2 on the Shiva, boost on, into a Bogner 4x12 loaded with Celestion G12H-30's, and miced with an SM57 and Studio Projects C3.

Überschall
This first demo was recorded the morning after I brought the amp home. I didn't snap a shot of the amps settings, so I don't remember how it was dialed in. I used a Carvin 727 with a Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge and an Air Norton in the neck. The Überschall was played into a Mesa Traditional 4x12 Recto cabinet.
This second demo was done with backing tracks provided by Ed DeGenaro. There is no Überschall on any rhythm parts. I simply imported the backing tracks into SONAR, listened a few times, and threw down this "one shot" improvised soloing over the entire track Ed sent me.
This one was done with a Carvin DC127 with a JB in the neck and a Custom in the bridge. The settings of the amp are pictured below, and the Überschall was played through a Bogner Überkabinet (2 V30's and 2 G12T-75's in an X pattern).
This demo was recorded using a Carvin DC727 for the rhythm parts and a DC127 and a Bad Horsey wah was used for the "mini solo" at the end of the demo. The amp settings are pictured below, and the head was played into the Überkabinet with a Sennheiser MD421-II on the G12T-75 and an SM57 on the Vintage 30.
This demo was recorded using a Vigier Excalibur Custom for the clean part and the Carvin DC127 on the solo/gain part. Both EQ's are listed below. I used the Überkabinet with a Sennheiser MD421-II on the G12T-75 and an SM57 on the Vintage 30

This demo was recorded using a Carvin DC727 (Duncan Pickups) into the Überkabinet. An SM57 was used on the Vintage 30 and a Sennheiser MD421 II was used on the G12T75. The EQ settings are show below.
This demo is a counterpart of the Ecstasy-Überschall-Shiva "comparison 1 demo." The signal chain is a Vigier Excalibur Custom (Duncan Custom in bridge and Lil'59 in neck) into the Überschall's gain channel (master was about 10:00), into a Bogner 4x12 loaded with Celestion G12H-30's, and miced with an SM57 and Studio Projects C3.
Bogner Überschall Demo 6 ("comparison demo 1")
This demo is styled after the "Death Metal" type of music and shows the extreme heavy side of the Überschall. (Drums provided courtesy of Derek Roddy/Derek Bernier) Sorry, but I didn't save any settings for this one, however I used a Vigier Excalibur Custom, the Überschall and the Bogner Überkabinet.
