Product Description

Over the last few years Bogner have expanded from making amazing amps to making great pedals as well. All the previous ones were based on iconic amps so why stop now! The La Grange as to be expected is based off the iconic sound of an old black and gold Plexi tone. More specifically this pedal is based off of the sounds often used by the amazing Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, hence the pedal being named after one of their most popular songs.

Bogner Signature Design

If you take a look at the La Grange and compare the front panel to the other Bogner pedals you will notice a lot of similarities but inside there are plenty of differences. On the top you have all of the controls you would normally find on an amplifier with Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass and Gain as well as a separate Boost Volume control. By designing the pedal like an amplifier premp it lets you get a lot closer to the sound of the real amp.

Independent Boost and Drive

While in the other Bogner pedals the Boost can only be engaged when the main drive is on the La Grange works differently by have both parts of the circuit be completely independent. So now it is really easy to get a wider range of tones from just one pedal. Use the boost function to slightly dirty you clean sound, use the drive section as your main rhythm and then turn both on to get to your saturated and sustaining lead tone that will pop through the mix.

Here's what Bogner say about the La Grange

Continuing our series of pedals based on amplifiers, the La Grange is designed to emulate the legendary British "Plexi" amplifier tones, which every legendary guitarist has played at one time or another. An array of controls and switches, including an independent foot-switchable boost, deliver decades of Plexi tones.

The pedal tone is excellent and can recommend however Power supply is an issue I was not able to power it from either my T. rex power supply on my pedal board or a plug in 1000mA 9v power supply. Problem was solved by purchasing a 1700mA True Tone power plug supply. Seems quite a lot of power needed for an overdrive pedal also not so continent to have to need an extra plug for my pedal board. Would like to know how much power it really needs and what type of pedal board power unit would be capable of supporting it.

I absolutely love this pedal. Sounds amazing and is built like a tank. I bought this pedal for a covers gig of mainly marshall style guitar music. My amp is a Swart Atomic Space Tone Pro (6V6 tubes) and I wanted to get a mix of low gain to cranked Marshall sounds from it - it's a great amp but will not do the marshall thing by itself. I tried using a Sansamp GT2 which I had lying around but it just wasn't getting me there - far too scooped with no way near enough midrange. Seconds after plugging in the La Grange I was hearing all the sounds I'd been looking for. It blends very well with the pokey midrange of the Swart but I think would be even better through a Fender Twin. In practice I mainly used the Medium gain setting, whilst rolling back the volume on the guitar for cleaner sounds. With the the La Grange on Medium I was able to dial in the perfect gain for the earlier rock styles (AC/DC, early Aerosmith etc) but a quick switch to the high gain setting and I was in Van Halen/RATT territory. As stated in many videos online this is not a high gain monster and you can't get to JCM 900/SL territory...but that's not why you're buying this pedal. It's fat and ****** with lots of midrange oomph. I'm sure the La Grange could get a little hotter with a boost pedal behind it - something I still need to test. This things cleans up really well with the guitar volume knob and there's a huge about of volume and gain on tap with the Boost circuit engaged, which I found great for solos and actually gives that early Angus lead sound. The eq on this pedal is quite interesting as there's no Treble, Middle or Bass. However, between the Tone, Presence and Ch. Blend controls it's super easy to dial it in. The Tone knob is super sensitive so I found only slight adjustments from 12 O'Clock were required. I haven't tried the expression pedal input but I can imagine this being very useful especially if you're playing a wide variety of styles. Personally found the Variac mode a little saggy for my taste. The Swart, when pushed already has enough sag so not required for me. The only thing I'd change on this pedal is to make the knobs a little tighter. I find that they can get knocked very easily, but as long as you know where they're supposed to be it's not an issue. Hope this helps other people thinking about purchasing this pedal.

Nice Marshall/Plexi tones for rock/blues AC/DC, ZZ TOP, LED ZEPPELIN and the first VAN HALEN records. For 80's hair metal, SLASH/GUNS'n'ROSES or later VAN HALEN sounds i rather use the high gain pedal Friedman BE-OD, more Marshall JCM800 oriented.
