Bogner Helios sounding pretty Marshally in this clip.......

Not my clip....

It sure does! Depending on the 70s or 80s toggle switch position, can be really nice plexi to hot-rodded plexi to hot-rodded JCM800, then some and lots of textures in-between. Funny that the Friedman Plex can also do a fairly convincing JCM800 crunch.

Yeah the Helios definitely has a 60/40 or even 70/30 split between Bogner and modded Marshall thing going on. I have one and an XTC 101B, and while the Helios still has some of the Bogner squish and juice, it’s got a more fine-grained, clearer sounding gain voicing similar to an older Marshall. It’s a great amp.

 

[VonBonfire]

It sounds good like a Marshall but with feathers in it's hair. Not as much clang as Angus' tone tho.

 

[LP Freak]

Sounds good but still not as good as the Snorkler

 

[Eazy-ESP]

Like a modded Marshall. It’s definitely not as raw and as VonBonfire said, not as much clang. Still sounds cool in its own right though.

 

[Killcrop]

The Helios is straight up 800 with some tweaks. I wish the did something more vintage with the plexi low gain mode. It's too clean.

I always thought the Helios was put out specifically to be a hot rodded Marshall?

Is a 50 watt? Seem a small box.

You can get 50 or 100

Yes, but i think it is a 50 watt in the video, or not?
