Bogner La Grange Teardown! See what's inside!

[@xdoctorblindx]

This channel is as pure gold as the the powder coat on this pedal's chassis. Keep up the great work!

[@graybenchelec]

Appreciate it!

[@0321Dave]

Great pedal. Tried it out a while back when it came out. I was blown away by its versatility

[@jacobansari808]

So true. I’ve had so many Marshall pedals and this is the best one and no one knows about it. It does low gain, medium gain, and I gain extremely well. What other pedal in the world can do that?

[@LithiumGrim]

PS the pedal is in essence a COT going into a box of rock with the SHO as a post OD boost (volume boost)

[@rangerdoc1029]

Pretty much a clone of Zvex Box of Rock with a SHO in one box. Nothing original at all about the circuits.

[@gregmize01]

NO

[@jesseyasaitis9036]

I have the ecstasy blue and red along with this pedal. I prefer the La Grange over the red and blue.

[@xjohn1970]

Wish I had the Red.

[@WayneMemphisMojo]

Excellent video, I wonder if this may be a nod to the Bassman amp instead of the JTM 45 … either way it’s a cool pedal

[@graybenchelec]

Bassman and JTM45 are more or less the same circuit, so you could say it's both!

[@WayneMemphisMojo]

@@graybenchelec Yeah, you're right but I think I may have been swayed by those knobs too. I always look forward to another teardown video.

[@MZampa1]

Thanks ,Friend.

[@bas1cbas1c]

I have the Lyndhurst compressor which also has a potted part of the circuit. All very high quality components but i'd never buy another Bogner pedal due to the potting which makes it impossible to repair.

[@mrKhuYam]

Good job, man!

[@graybenchelec]

Thank you!

[@justinsmith9683]

Do you know the output impedance of the LaGrange?

[@jimnewearthblues1672]

🔊Awesome‼️

[@graybenchelec]

Thank you!

[@Aeon_Electronics]

I would never ever buy a pedal which is gooped, if the pedal failes I am not able to repair it. Just a mess and really really bad practise just to hide your schematics...

[@BlakeC27]

I've always wanted to try one of these but the cost versus the reputation for them crapping out has always put me off.

[@graybenchelec]

The mosfets can be sensitive, down side of gooping is repairs are completely impractical.

[@BlakeC27]

@@graybenchelec I assume this one is for sale per usual?

[@graybenchelec]

[@russellesimonetta3835]

I'm interested into the vintage style cases. Hammond cases get redundant. Build a rat? Build a vintage case!

[@PhotoBoothSoundDesign]

It'd be really neat to see your thoughts on the V1 Bogner Wessex or Burnley. I haven't seen these cloned and am wondering outside of the Neve transformer mojo if there's much more to them.

[@graybenchelec]

I’ll put it on the list!

[@colmkelly5524]

[@dannbrauckmann1545]

You skipped over the "Gain" switch. Looks like it switches between some different resistors? Is this similar to different cathode resistors in an amp? Kinda like Friedman's "Structure" switch?

[@drscott47]

zvex box of rock would be a cool follow up to this

[@gregmize01]

OR THE DISTORTRON

[@geezberry8889]

very well made unit. top quality parts and back to back pcb's is cool there's alot there for the money

[@xjohn1970]

The (La Grange) has a nicely made Circuit, very nice design. Well worth the $. And sure does sound like a (Plexi)! I have a the Newest Revision of the Circuit. They even paint the certain makings like the Structure holes different using all solid holes . Very well made Pedal.

[@craigoriopequeño505]

Revised circuit? When did that hit the market?

[@nbarry2346]

Thank you. Mine has an intermittent hum in it, sometimes real quiet sometimes hum. Tried new chords different amp but same thing.

[@BeantownToBigD]

My unit had foot switches that popped when engaged. All around it was noisy so I returned it.

[@RonnieThurlow]

Stumbled across this video whilst researching why the structure switch on mine doesn’t work. Very informative video. The circuit appears to be similar to a Box If Rock with some extra switching options. I’ve compared it to my ZVex Distortron (BoR minus boost section) and it’s very similar. With this video hopefully I can figure out the structure switch problem. Cheers.

[@graybenchelec]

Thank you, good luck!

[@xdoctorblindx]

I'm guilty of overlooking their pedals, since I'm not a high-gain guy. Looks very cool!

[@graybenchelec]

Yes, nice build quality here, I was impressed as well.

[@RokinLee]

@@graybenchelec always wanted to try this pedal, but it has a reputation for low quality, but I just don’t see it. And if it did go wrong fairly easy to repair.

[@graybenchelec]

@@RokinLee maybe they had issues with previous versions? This pedal was solid 🤷‍♀️

[@tonycannell1162]

Amazing videos Joe. You have fans here in Australia for sure! Would love to see a Lovepedal Cot50 Eternity Stack breakdown. Love the pedal, but still a mystery as to how it gets such tube amp like response. Cheers mate.

[@graybenchelec]

Thank you!

[@Attack16]

Sir, I recommend an Orange Terror Stamp pedal amplifier. It’s a bit of a departure from just effects pedals, but it’s the right size for your current bench and camera setup. And it would be interesting to see what they use as a tone stack and power output chips. Thank you for your consideration and for your excellent content. Respectfully, Andrew

[@waynegram8907]

What is causing the booster volume to be scratchy? It must have DC voltage on the wiper pot that is causing the scratchy sound?

[@xjohn1970]

Its not really a issue. I hear no Scratching.. Once you set it ,it's done. it's not like your bending down with the boost on constantly adjusting it... but aging I hear no scratching. It a top Plexi pedal.
