Used Bogner Shiva 20th Anniversary EL34 Amp Head and 1x12 Cab

Information

Condition: Used, Excellent

Like what you see? All photos are of the exact amp and cab you will receive. The amp and cab are both in excellent shape. The only blemishes we could find are a very light dent on one of the bottom corners of the cab, and some scratches on the footswitch. We have included a close-up photos.

The Bogner Shiva needs no introduction. It has been a mainstay of the boutique amp world for years. The Shiva 20^th Anniversary is the updated version of that classic amp with some nice upgrades.

The Shiva 20th features 2 channels of EL-34 powered tube goodness. Channel one is Fender-like; clear and clean with a smooth feel and balanced EQ. The clean channel alone is reason enough to own the amp, it’s that good!

Channel two goes from Plexi-esque low gain to blistering high gain and all shades in-between. I’d describe channel 2 as Marshall-like, but with that famous Bogner compression.

Each channel has a boost function, which doubles the gain on tap for channel two, bringing it into high gain territory. The shift switch scoops the mids and boosts lows and highs. On the back, there are separate level controls for Reverb (one for each channel). The Excursion knob is like a depth knob for the power amp. The tube buffered effects loop works great with pedals and rack gear alike.

The speaker cab is a ported Shiva 1x12 with a Celestion Classic Lead 80. The cab itself is a further evolution of the Bogner Cube but designed to fit better underneath the head.

Grab this one while you can! The Shiva model has been discontinued.
