Bogner Helios

[Heritage Softail]

When Cantrell left Bogner to use Friedman modded Marshall's that sound like the old Bogner built Marshall based amps... That was the warning shot across the bow of Team Bogners boat.

It's on. Wait and see where the Helios sales pull from. And it is cheaper than popular Marshall based amps.

Just sayin. The potential is there to shift the players in the game with Bogner taking back old turf.

Let us see Cantrell on stage with a Helios and it will be done.

I'll put it this way, if Van Halen didn't have a guitar and amp company, and he actually wanted the best tone he could possibly have..... VH would have a wall of Bogner Helios amps, and there wouldn't be one complaint about his current tone. They'd need a guy with a broom to sweep all his Peavey and EVH junk into the nearest trash receptacle.

Thanks, my keyboard is now soaked in tomato rice soup.

If it's anything like Coke, I can help you with that

The hype alone makes this a must-have item...

Re: new bogner amp - the helios
If I could have chosen one amp at the LA Amp Show to come home with, it would have been the Helios 100W.....maybe the 50W, but I didn't hear that one.

It's the fattest, meanest, most brutal sounding hotrodded vintage Marshall tone ever. It's not cheap, but I was surprised it wasn't more than $2850, being a handwired Bogner made in the US Custom Shop.

Masterfully written!

so this guy knows what Eddie likes?

 

[rlord1974]

Don't we all know what Eddie likes best? Clearly, it's the amp with the highest royalty and licensing stream accruing to him.

I just thought he liked multiple (read 6) gain stage amps that muddy up past noon?

Gonna be a long time for the Helios, why should we think or believe the actual release will be coming up at the beginning of the yr or whatever the time frame they have given thus far? The actual past tells us this much!
