The modded Marshall he brought to the US and showed to EVH was the circuit that later became the Ecstasy and the Brown Channel on the Triple Giant and Fish Preamps. The Snorkeler was a late 80s horizontal input 50 watt JCM-800 combo with a PCB mounted front panel converted into a homemade head shell built by Ronnie Champagne; it's why it's got that Vox pattern grill cloth on the front. This amp was done after Rhinehold Bogner got to the US, in fact it was done as a favor to Ronnie Champagne because Bogner had stopped doing mods since he had started building his own amps and didn't have the time. I know this because I'm the one who first traced out the circuit from 3 pictures Ronnie Champagne posted of the custom made (blue) PCB boards Bogner used to mount the modded circuit on to, including 2 PCB mounted tube sockets. He posted them on one of the guitar gear forums hoping to find someone who could reproduce the circuit because he wanted a backup of the original amp. The schematic I posted has been tested and verified by countless builders and freely available for all for the past 10 years. I can't believe it took Bogner this long to do a reproduction of this amp. It's not like there hasn't been any interest in it. Even before it was traced out people were talking about the Snorkeler and the sound Jerry Cantrell got on the first AIC record. Everyone had always assumed it was the Ecstasy/Brown Channel circuit he was using until Ronnie Champagne popped up to connect the dots to the right circuit; it's a variation of the Triple Giant Sharp channel with a few small but critical changes. The stock TG Sharp channel design is very similar to an Engl and has that clinical mid-scooped sound Engls are known for. The Snorkeler revoices the circuit for a more Marshall-like feel only with way more gain. I've messed around with countless circuits in my time and if I had to choose one this is would be my desert island project amp. The versatility of this circuit is just insane, it can pretty much do anything with overdrive. That's not very common, I hope you enjoy it because I certainly did.

[jacksonrepetskimusic]

Man that intro has some serious "Black Gives Way To Blue" vibes! Love it!

[vidsforsquids]

The Bogner sound will always be what Cantrell needs

[LeonTodd]

This has haunted my dreams since I got to play it at yours!

[rikh]

this is the best amp demo i've seen in years, that thing sounds insane.

[JuanCanteli]

And today I woke up not expecting to buy a new amp.

[Manley]

Bogner voicings across the whole amp range is always amazing

[rangerdoc]

This is the tone I have been chasing for 25 years

[wendelllaffin]

the level of consistency in your work is outstanding... this is a masterclass in gear reviews. its a great product and I am proudly a current Bogner 3534 owner based greatly on your demo of that amp. the sound and feel I get from that amp is bang on with how you presented it. carry on good sir.

[Morte_Deus]

I just bought one, right after watching this video...can't wait!

[theariesexperiment]

His tone is always absolutely stunning. He has crazy feel and touch on the guitar as well.

[CityofTreason]

Love the pseudo Cantrell riffs to demo the tones while not getting blackballed. Lol. Sounds amazing and you can really hear those Jerry and EVH tones in there. Great job.

14:22 Welcome to the face we all share "me like this"

Never been a Bogner fan but this is special - really special.

[dantahoua]

There is always something special in the Bogner amp tone! Love it! And the guitar volume response seems amazing!

[rangerdoc]

Snorkler was an homage to the massive quantities of cocaine being consumed in LA.
Bogner is a genius.

[kevins]

Damn…that Snorkler sounds like 90s rock in a box. it

[ROKZLEON]

That intro song! That low-end! Those chords! Magic!!!

[Simmel]
