Ecstasy Red Mini

Reinhold Bogner arrived in Los Angeles in 1989 with a modded JCM 800 that Eddie Van Halen bought on the spot. The Ecstasy amplifier became the gold standard for modern high-gain versatility, its red channel delivering the searing leads and heavy rhythms that defined an era.

The Ecstasy Red Mini squeezes that legendary high-gain channel into a compact enclosure. The core Class-A gain stage topology remains intact, no op-amps or diode clipping. A three-position switch selects between voicing modes, while a two-position gain switch adjusts the saturation range.

Active Bass, Middle, and Treble controls provide full EQ shaping. The Variac switch adds voltage-starved compression. A bottom-mounted trim pot lets you dial in the mid frequency sweep. Internal voltage elevation maintains the touch sensitivity and dynamics.

Same brutal red channel tone, smaller footprint. Requires 9V DC power supply (no battery option).
