Bogner Helios 50

An amplifier that we can already call a modern classic. It derives its roots from classic Marshall amplifiers of the 70s and 80s, which were modded by Reinholdt Bogner in his early days as an amp-maker. He decided to put all his knowledge about those mods in one amplifier and created an incredibly, touch-sensitive amp with a lush 3D sound that can go from sparkling clean to roaring rock sounds. It lets you create and shape your tone whether you prefer cleanish sounds with a lot of headroom, crunch, or true high-gain leads.

Among current users of this amplifier, we have Steve Lukather, a previously long-time user of Bogner Ecstasy.

Technical condition is mint. Visually it has a minor tolex tear in the front (see pictures)
