Bogner Amplification Helios JB45
The Helios JB45 is firmly rooted in the praised early 60’s Blues and Rock area of electric guitar tone with the ability to reach into the glory of the 70’s classic rock area. 30 watts of power from a pair of KT66 for bold sweet cleans and singing overdriven tones, spiced with some of the magic and flexibility of our Caveman and Telos amplifiers, add a switchable effects loop, and you have an incredible tonal pallet of sounds at hand.
