Bogner Helios Eclipse 2 Notes Captor - Full Recording Inside

[Bad.Seed]

I got a wild hair up my ass this morning and decided to do a proper demo of my Bogner Helios Eclipse.

Both hard panned L/R tracks are of the eclipse on Channel 2. Both clips are boosted by a KHDK with identical settings.
Right track is done with an LP Standard - 498T in the bridge - Friedman V30 Cab Impulse
Left track is done with an Explorer- Lace Dissonant Aggressor in the Bridge - K100 Generic Cab Impulse

No post eq done to the guitars at all.

In my opinion, this amp records very well. Sits where it needs to in the mix. Lots of clarity. It's definitely a keeper for studio tracking alone, but I'm digging it more and more.

If someone can help me with the embedding function, that'd be great.

Sounds great. Prominent mids! I love my Eclipse.

What were your amp settings on that clip?

Right! That's what I dug about it. The mids sit nice in the mix.

My settings were 6-6-6 for EQ, gain on 7. 80's mode, no switches engaged. Bottom and Presence set to 6 on the back.

Nice and growly, have you been able to get a more useful tone out of the eclipse+ mode after your first review?

I honestly haven't touched it since then. I found a tone and general setting that worked for me, and haven't had much time to spend with it since. Would love to eventually figure something out for it though, otherwise that's an entire mode that's a total waste

I'm not really into that style of music, but that is a nice recording man. Great clarity and tone.

Tight, focused, sounds excellent!
