I have the eclipse and I think its a really grat amp. Havent played the oh Helios and I also own a 20th XTC B.
I think Bogner missed the mark with the marketing of both Helios models, og and eclipse.
The eclipse is a totally different beast, it should have been rpesented as a 1 channel...
It could have been worse... ENGL PB2 vs ENGL Invader mk1 maybe or something along those lines haha
We could definitely start a Fryette Deliverance vs Bogner Snorkler vs 1982 JCM800 2204 thread, that might be more exciting!
What are your favorite modern high gain amps? (And for myself...
so rare so many people agree using the same terms and perceptions it seems! +1 with me I guess,
I had a 100P mk2, good amp, really liked it, proud it was Canadian made stuff etc.
Then eventually moved it and got a Orthos mk1 and damn.
I remember thinking "thats what a Revv should sound...
I am in my love with my recently acquired 20thA , I wish it was the 6L6 or 6550 version and had the metal grill but its in the EL34 white limited edition so at least its 'different'.
The tone is just insane though, on all 3 channels, boosted blue channel or straight red's .
The Helios...
they seem to go from anywhere from 1200$ to 1800$ right now. I have a 6505+ in sight going for 1000$ CAD , i guess prices will go up as well on these when all 5150 are going to be 2k$
I should open the footswitch and check. For both the od1/od2 and the solo boost, its just an added path to ground so its just checking if solo boost also close the od1/od2 circuit to ground at the same time.

Id keep the Mark3 and 1 of the 412 at least. I sold a lot of gear when I was not playing much 10 years ago and I have been regretting every piece of gear I sold.
I got an 08 Nitro, so no return volume on the loop. I need to call Scott to see if he will send me a replacement PCB. Already exploring options to replace the Splawn loop PCB with an aftermarket tube or ss buffered loop with send and return levels.
I regretted every amps I had and sold. Mostly Fryettes and a 5150. Now Ill never sell my Fryette Classi and ST50, and my jackson slsmg and my PRS Mark Holcomb, sorry for the lack of pics but everything is stock hehe. Oh and there is a Revv 100P also in coming in the mail right now that Ill keep...
