Bogner Helios 100-watt Head & Cab

$2,995.00

This Handwired Bogner Helios 100-watt Head & Cab is in MINT all original condition and it absolutely RIPS. (Hand signed on the back) and likely a few years old, but no signs of the original date of production. FYI this is set up as a (4) x EL34 but it does have a switch on the back that allows you to set it at “JTM-30Watts” effectively reducing it to about half power. This does the high-gain Bogner thing, as well as a “plexi” style idea, based on how you set up the Gain/Volume switch and which input you select. The cabinet is an oversized 2 x 12, the Model on it is a 212CH, and it is loaded with a Vintage 30 and a CB 65. The cabinet comes with a cover and the head includes a hard case. Original footswitch is also included.

Designed to sound just like a classic Plexi amplifier, the Bogner Helios 100 tube amplifier gives you high-octane tone. It’s an aggressive 2-channel amp, and Sweetwater guitarists love the versatility of the separate Plexi and hot inputs. The Plexi input gives you Plexi-style gain on channel two, and an ultra-clean gain stage on channel one. The Hot input gives you a hot-rodded high gain structure on channel two and a clean to Plexi gain range on channel one. Whichever input you plug your guitar into, the Bogner Helios 100 rocks!

Iconic, aggressive Plexi tone with versatility

It’s no secret that the Bogner Helios 100 is designed to sound like one of the hardest-rocking amplifiers ever made. But you’ve got more tonal range than you’d expect, thanks to a 3-way voicing switch, which gives you access to brighter, darker, and hyped amplifier tones. And if you’re after the most aggressive tone possible, just flip the EQ bypass switch and send the preamp’s tone full-bore to the power amp section.

Effects loop can be used as a volume boost

The Helios 100 comes equipped with an effects, with control over the return level to easily integrate your effects pedals. And if you’re not using any effects processors, or if you put them in front of your amp instead of the loop, you can use the effects loop as a footswitchable gain boost (footswitch not included). Just use a guitar cable to connect the send to the return, then use the level control to dial in the amount of boost you want.

Control how punchy your tone is with the bottom switch

On the back of the Helios 100 is a bottom switch that essentially controls how loose or tight the low frequency response of the amp sounds. No matter what type of speaker cabinets you have connected to the Helios 100, the bottom switch helps you dial in just the right amount of punch and girth your tone has.
