My only gripe is the $49.00 dealer special Classic Tone transformers. They could have done better in that department. The OT legs were thin and the transformer easily bends over. No chassis mounts or even washers to add stability to them.I received it bent over. Easily straightened it by only pushing on it. When I shipped it I packed tightly around it and it still bent to my buyer. Top notch build with shit transformers. Not saying all Classic Tones are bad. They sound pretty good. The ones Bogner had custom built for them for this ampWith better iron this amp would probably still be with me. Why build such a nice amp and give it a weak heart. Guess they had to cut cost somewhere. Their marketing on the amp was just this. Offer a modded Marshall to market at a grand less than the competition and don't spend on marketing. I think Bogner might be rethinking this as they were hard to build and they are not sure they are making profit on them. At least a few ago they weren't sure. I'm sure they know by now. Curious to see the revision.
Are you saying the Helios has $49.00 transformers?
