Bogner Helios

[slo100]

So I'm forced to watch American Idol by the wife here and just saw the house guitar player with a Bogner Helios. I really want to hear one of these in person. Anyone tried one out yet? It has a vintage vibe to it and built with Marshall 2203/4 DNA, it appears. Clips on YT sound good but you never know until you're up close.

The clips I heard of that amp were magical

The latest I've heard is they will hit stores end of this year. If true, quite a delay from when they were promised.

It's a modded JCM800 type amp. Played one at NAMM. There's a few seconds of me on YouTube at the bogner booth playing one. It's got a few extra switches do it's not a complete one trick pony but it's also not super versatile. Lots of gain on tap. Nice amp.

I'll definitely check the YT vids. You're the first person I've heard from who has actually played one. I kind of like the vintage vibe and it does seem like a super 2203/4.

Thanks!

I had no idea I was being recorded. I was just messing around trying to dial it in. My friend works for Bogner…PM me if you have specific questions.
