Helios vs Shiva 20th Market Value

[SavageRiffer]

A Shiva 20th with Reverb costs the same as a Helios 50. However, the Helios 50 is handwired, so I suspect the price will eventually get jacked up. Speaking of market value, which amp would be more valuable in 10 years from now and why do you think so?

Who knows. Really depends on if someone famous gets linked with one or one gets used on some famous albums. If neither happens, they'll both just depreciate was normal Bogners would.

And who are you kidding: if you're on this forum, you're not keeping an amp for ten years.

Hahahaaaaa!!!

I recently newly purchased a Shiva 20th and am shocked at what I see them being sold for now. Ridiculously low.

LOL. Well I've done pretty good with keeping my plexi for 6 years, but I don't know if it will make it that far... getting the itch!

I want both of these too. Buy both and keep the winner. I would think the helios being hardwired will go to circuit board if it becomes a keeper in the bogner line so more collectable later?

I would rather have a Helios than the Shiva...

Why?

There are tons more Shivas for sale than Helios. Supply and demand. Helios is worth more on the used market today and most likely in the future too.

Yes, why?

Have had both...if awesome Fendery cleans are important to you, get the Shiva 20th. If raw Marshally grind is your thing, get the Helios. If Bogner combined the two...THAT would be the amp to own!
