I thought the Helios sounded fine, but there are buttwads of rodded Marshall clones out there already. Do we really need another one when so many have really nailed the design?

I hope not, I am releasing my own amp next year: The Splawgner Brownica Elmwoodmaker.

It is going to be the one amp to rule them all.

Bogner is starting to have too many amps IMO. I thought the Helios sounded fine, but there are buttwads of rodded Marshall clones out there already. Do we really need another one when so many have really nailed the design?

Ok, but make sure it sounds JUST like a verticle input JCM 800 model 2203 from the year 1984, (first part Jan-April preferred), but give it 7 gain stages, and a built in Tubescreamer. Make sure not to leave out the "glory hole mod," so you can get that TRUE brown sound!!!!!!!

Why even get a Helios when BE-100 exists?

Because it's about a grand cheaper and covers a lot of the same ground.

And I pesonally think it'll be darker, with more knock, and that siggy Bogner midrange bite.

Preferences. It's all personal :dunno:
 
Well, there it is! Anyway, good luck to those waiting on the Helios. As I said, every Bogner product I've played was top notch.
 
If you call the store ask for Kevin and tell him Jim sent you

I'm excited that the Atma is out, because that means the Helios can't be too far behind, lol. I was told shortly after Christmas, but honestly was expecting a lot longer wait. Thanks for the tip though Jim!

But my issue is that it reeks of vaporware when an announcement is made and then no product appears.

There could be something I'm not aware of, but I don't know of Bogner ever having presented a product at a show of any kind that didn't make it to market. Bogner is a professional outfit who delivers.


How about the power amps that never arrived?

 
Let's not forget that most manufacturers set out with good intentions and if the market starts to rescind, they can't move forward. I'm not saying anything, but remember Diezel was coming out with 19" rack gear. Almost 3 years ago.

Helios is coming, christ they only had it unveiled at the beginning of October. Give 'em a bit :D
 
All of this Helios talk is giving me gas, maybe Reinholds plan IS working! :confused:
 
Ok which one of you bought the Atma from Mainstreet Music????
