In simple terms, how would you compare the core tones of the two Bogner modules? I know they have those pre-boost switches, boost/cut switch and Schizo switch, but I'm talking about the inherent core tone.

I've read that the Ecstasy amp's blue channel is based on a souped up Marshall JMP Plexi circuit, and the blue channel of the module should align. I've also read that the module's red channel is basically the blue channel with another gain stage. Any truth to all of this?

For the Uberschall module, I've read that the blue channel is based on the Bogner Twin Jet amp. That seems to have been more or less derived from the JCM 800 circuit tree. The red channel has massive gain, and I kind of have no idea how it is achieved.

So is it fair to say something like this?
- Ecstasy = modernized, hot rodded take on a Plexi JMP circuit
- Uberschall = modernized, hot rodded take on a JCM 800 circuit
 
I think you have a decent read on it.
I have both modules and hope to put out some clips to help
Basically Ecstasy= Rock; Uber= Metal
