It features hand-wired construction with two foot-switchable channels as well as a foot switchable FX loop \/ boost. Based on one of the hardest-rocking amps ever made – The classic Marshall Plexi - the Bogner Helios 50 tube amplifier gives up plenty of high-octane tone. It's an aggressive, yet surprisingly versatile two-channel amp that covers the ground of vintage Marshall Plexi through the various incarnations and hot-rodded \/ modified versions of that amp. Separate \"Plexi\" and \"Hot\" inputs help make this happen. The Plexi input gives Plexi-style gain on channel two and an ultra-clean channel one. The “Hot” input gives a hot-rodded high gain structure on channel two, with a \"clean to Plexi\" gain range on channel one. A three-position voicing switch gives access to brighter or darker settings while an EQ Bypass switch sends the preamp tone full-bore to the power amp section for open, in-your-face, boosted tone. Another handy feature is the effects loop which can also be used as a boost- Just use a guitar cable to connect (jumper) the send to the return, then use the effects level control to dial in the amount of boost you want. There is also a Bottom control and Punch switch on the back panel 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 50, the Bottom switch helps you dial in just the right amount of punch and girth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all our used \/ vintage gear this has been tested for functionality and priced to move.
