Helios - new video - Doug Rappoport at LAAS

Bogner Brown Eye?

Kinda along the same lines as my thinking...

A Bogner with upper mids and bite.

Reminds me of a fatter slightly darker Marshall... kinda like a 2555 Jubilee

 

[Blackie08]

Also I wonder if you can use an A/B box to switch between the hi/lo inputs......

I think this thing sounds great! I find that many modded marshall type amps take a little bit of what i love about marshalls out. They smooth them out some, and they do sound great don't get me wrong. This bogner seems to keep the rude and obnoxious upper mid that i really like. not saying this amp or other modded style plexi's are bad just different. would love to take one of these for a whirl

My thinking exactly Imagine if the Plexi Mode in the Ecstasy sounded like this.
I'd seriously consider this amp. I like it

I like dry amps personally. My main is an Ultralead, so I'm used to it. This amp wouldn't really work for what I'm doing right now, but I don't see anything wrong with RB trying something different than his norm. If you want a chewy Bogner, there are plenty of models out there that do that.

 

[Badronald]

Sounds great. I'm digging it.

 

[SLOgriff]

Much better video than the first one posted(obviously the player is the key). Doug can definitely bring out the best in amps!

 

[Atropos_Project]

I really need to stop watching these vids.

 

[Jeff Hilligan]

As usual Doug makes anything sound fantastic. On another note, was this a Bogner and Friedman show! Was there nothing else at this event worth taking pics of or talking about?????

jeffrey!

yeah that's how i see it as well, but when you're hot you're hot.

getting harder to reinvent the wheel or put a new variation on an old theme these days.

 

[Stramm8]

Sounds really good to me. And Reinhold was closing Doug pretty hard to endorse Bogner...

 

[lespaul6]

I might be off but this is a darkened circuit based on what I'm hearing... when I think of a Marshall plexi with crushed glass, upper mid and presence- only modded for higher gain I think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXewmJzVzcQ
Not the Helios...

just my humble opinion so take it for what its worth...

 

[Ventura]

I think it's safe to say, the jury will be out till one or both of these things happen:
1. A better high-def video comes out with a professional run-through
2. These units start getting into peoples' hands and testimony starts coming to the surface

I'm intrigued at this point. Not blown away, intrigued.
