Hot on the heels of Friedman’s BE Mini comes Bogner’s shrunk-down version of its revered Ecstasy head. The Ecstasy Mini is a 30-watt, solid state amp weighing-in at just 1.8kg and it harnesses the sound of the Ecstasy’s famed Red channel, AKA: thick, harmonically rich overdrive and distortion. While the Mini is a single-channel design, a gain switch takes you from Crunch to Overdrive gain brackets, and there’s a built-in variac control to alter the output power, which in turn changes the response of the amp’s dynamics and headroom.
