412ST Helios 100-watt 4x12" Straight Extension Cabinet Review

5 Stars!

I love this cabinet! Sounds great with my Helios 50 and my 5150 iii 6L6. The pairing of Greenbacks and Vintage 30s exists for a reason. Covers everything from a clean to mean and with aplomb. The cabinet is superbly built and feels super sturdy; looks like it'll last many, many decades to come. Yes, it is indeed pricy, but I'll say it is worth every cent. If you're in the market… read more for a 4x12, do give this cabinet consideration.

No Regrets!!

It's an amazing cabinet! It made my old Peavey Classic 50 (USA model) sound so good. It made my Peavey Butcher 100 watt head sound phenomenal! I've had other very nice speaker cabinets but there is something special about this one. I've had my little open back Peavey Classic 50 since 1995; I've put all kinds of speaker combos in it and changed out the spring reverb; but this cabinet… read more made it sound like a high end boutique amp. I wish I had this speaker cabinet years ago, it might have cut down on my frustration that I was having when I thought my amp didn't sound good. It wasn't the amps it was my old cabinets!

Unleash the potential of your amp here....

I have had this cab at my house close to a year and it is exceptional in the craftsmanship of building materials and the sonics are incredible with the Bogner Helios and the Bogner 3534. Speakers are just as important as your amp (cables too). The vintage 30's and the greenbacks have this clarity and nuance that respond very well to the dials on the amps. I primarily run the Helios… read more through this cab most of the time and when I run in tandem with the 3534, I run this cab with the Helios dry in a wet/dry approach. The definition and amp in the room sound brings my old Les Paul to life as I write original material that is mindful of bands such as HUM, My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, Rush, Mew, Led Zeppelin, and other shoegaze, rock, post rock, etc. The cleans and distortions are on point and the sounds that just begin to break up are rich with detail. Go for it. It's physically heavy and I looked inside. The cables are efficiently constructed, the wood is birch, the back panel has insulations and their is a center piece of wood that stabilizes the interior of the cabinet. I also have a Bogner 2x12 Helios cab, but the 4x12 has more roundness in the cleans and more robust harmonic distortions.

Great Cab

I have numerous Bogner heads and cabs. Recently purchased a 20th Shiva, and bought this cab mainly because it matched mostly. Covering is different but meh, not a deal breaker. Glad I did. The Shiva loves this cab. Just sounds amazing. Actually every amp I've tried it with sounds amazing. My Jcm 800 screams with this cab. My Splawn quickrod same thing. I like my uberkabs better… read more for my ubers, and 6505, but they still sound great with this cab.

Helios 4x12

Liked the cab enough to buy 2 of them Really woke up my Helios Eclipse 100 watt amp. Bogner cabs have the tone to please any amp in your stable.
