Bogner Helios and Atma amp demo with Doug Rappoport - L.A. Amp Show 2013

[@scotdvorak8861]

This is easily one of the best (if not THE best) amp demos in the history of KZbin.

[@cran02]

Open counselling with Doug was awe-inspiring, terrifying and learning par excellence

[@joelsmith4816]

Best sounding definitely.

[@NickPierro]

100% agree. Haven't watched this demo in a long time. So so good. After the first view, I immediately put a deposit down on a Helios 50.

[@wileym]

Lost count of how many times I've watched this video. Noodling never sounded better.

[@Sixxiron]

Same...

[@RedroomStudios]

I find the best part though is the beginning where he's playing the Stones "Gimme Shelter"... and ya, I keep coming back to this video countless times.

[@gregwinter8503]

Probably my all-time favorite amp demo.

[@coffeewaldo]

Doug’s the reason I bought the Helios, the Atma and every pedal. Best demo guy around.

[@surf247365]

Best version of Gimmie shelter I've heard. Doug is Beast! So is the Helios. Gona get one.

[@timothychristopher9307]

That "Since I've been lovin you" was sick too..

[@-DILLIGAF]

I did... got one..... and guess what! I still don't sound like Doug. Joking aside, it's a sick amp. EASILY one of the best in the modded Marshall camp.

[@michalnastoupil6506]

It never stops amazing me how can guitar sing in Dougs hands - those bends with vibrato are pure bliss to listen to...

[@evolutionmb]

I’m not even a Stones fan, but damn that intro was incredible. Going to learn his version for kicks!

[@OnfloorAudio]

We've all heard it a million times but Doug is really the most underrated player out there imo . Tune into his own channel for great gear demos and of course amazing playing !!!

[@SteveR5954]

I keep coming back to this every few months and every time Im just blown away by Doug's playing. Far out man. There are stacks of players shredding away on You Tube...but here is the perfect combination of feel, tone and rocking kick-ass-edness right here.

[@johndoe6156]

Doug is so expressive, it must be rewarding for Reinhold to see a true musician having a blast while playing one of his "creation".

[@FlightSimDude]

Hate to tell you Bogner Amplification guys this but Doug Rappoport can make any amp sound good.

[@RedroomStudios]

thats nice, but these are some of the best amps in the world.

[@FlightSimDude]

@@RedroomStudios Never said they weren't.

[@mattjoe1982]

@@RedroomStudios and if a dog shit player were playing through them we would say “What is that horrible shit?” Playing/tone and all.

[@rigorhead01]

I could listen to this guy play for hours!

[@awesomejohnnet]

Doug is a very gifted musician and a joy to listen to.. Reinhold is a great artist in his own right with his amazing creations and to see it all come together is joy to behold.

[@luker3044]

I own one and had a Friedman . Helios is more organic and less compressed which I prefer...

[@marcstanford5857]

Luke R have both. Prefer the Friedman sb limited. Ch3 is great. It's quiet too. But I have both. Helios 50 can be switched down to 32 watts in the back btw and they're both keepers.

[@BlakkstoneHexx]

Both amps sound stellar... Doug is a smoking player... very tasty licks for sure

[@Im-sure]

Sounds better every time I come back... Holy Crap!!!

[@zafira976]

Bogner's one of the 3-4 best amp designers of all time...and definitely the best German amp designer by light years to the second one!!! Doug Rappoport on the other hand is a guitarist with a feel and phrasing second to absolutely none! Fantastic video guys!

[@jesseashton]

That moment at around 5:30 when Doug makes a bend and Bogner gets the "holy shit" face. Classic. The "since I've been loving you" part is just sonic joy.

[@obicross]

he's like, mmm yumm

[@ranger5281]

Wow... I've listened to this Bogner demo many times. Doug's INSPIRED take on the Stone's great Gimme Shelter keeps me coming back. Percussive, hard bluesy, amazing. Doug is, IMO, the best hard rock/blues player we have right now.

[@jordandedomusic]

This is still one of the best “demos” of a guitar amp in KZbin. This and Brad Paisley’s Z Wreck video are go-to videos when I want some inspired noodling and great tones.

[@philsackett7341]

Man, Doug is a smokin' player. I love to hear guys with those great roots. And how better to hear them then through a frickin' Bogner. GD I wish I could afford one of these things. Not totally crazy about the Atma, but the Helios sounds hella good! Great demo guys. I hope to own one of these things before I die.

[@eguilherme1]

Can't count how many times I've watched this demo. Bought my Atma over a year ago because of this & just picked up a 50w Helios a month ago. Unbelievable amps.

[@MrPhrygianmaniac]

Doug's just spoiling everyone with his awsomeness here! Great sounding amps

[@looosh]

Still here in 2020/ Who's coming back like me again and again and getting surprised on how freakin' cool this video is ?! The tone, the feel.....

[@ajcajc5429]

Yep I keep coming back cus I'm saving for the Atma Head , $4,300 were I live

[@weldaar]

Picked up an Atma a couple of months ago. Love it, very vrersatile.

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

I could listen to Doug play all day. It never gets old.

[@JasonMcFly]

Well that video is loaded with holy sh*t moments. :) amazing tones and performance.

[@dragannestorovic01]

I keep coming back to this clip over and over again the last few years - dam good playing!!

[@JacksonRedRum]

I'm stealing everything I can Doug! Man every week I'm pushing myself and feel so inspired by you. \m/

[@seancurry2531]

When he was playing that part to bark at the moon at the end of the video, you can tell by the expression on his face that he was amazed by the sound of that amp. His face was telling me a hole lot from the past and the present. Doug, you are one hell of a guitarist, and the closing statement on this video is boss.

[@lousekoya1803]

This video is for sure one of the best amp demo ever !!..............Thank you Reinhold and Doug !!......and all the team !

[@insomnyteq]

literally watch this video 3-4 times a month. this is how i discovered the great guitarist never talked about Doug E RAPPS

[@mazklassa9338]

The inflections in the bends are how it's done. Simply breathtaking.

[@johnchase8510]

Ear opening performance, and killer amp tones!

[@guitarzilla]

Awesome! Doug is my new fav! Great seeing him demo the new amps.

[@TalleyWacker1000]

Still the sickest amp demo I've ever heard! I revisit this one just to listen to Doug rip!

[@KfirOchaion]

Well done guitarman!

[@Sixxiron]

Doug Rappoport is a BEAST! Great sounding amps too!!! I can't count how many times I watched this.

[@josemauricioclemente9647]

This performance and sound is out of this Earth . Power/ beauty . Cant stop listening over and over. Absolute amazing.

[@arisl2370]

i believe i just heard a Danny Stag lick in there from 'get it on' ..nice one !

[@peterdeflem1369]

Sick playing!! Doug is a beast!! Freakin' awesome!!

[@MarcBenham]

Amazing tone and playing this video is a real pleasure to watch and listen to ! all ready did it a few time now Doug is the biz !

[@robertwhit]

After watching this video I sold my Bogner Shiva combo, which I absolutely loved, and purchased a Bogner Helios Eclipse 100. I love this amp! It can nail the old Marshall tones 70's - 80's. Plus it looks killer on a 4 x 12 cab.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

If only we could play like this guy who makes any amp and guitar sound great.

[@rostikds]

Bark at the moon segment was outstanding! Good job, Doug.

[@2204JCM]

Yeah, would have been even better on the Helios.

[@dragannestorovic01]

Just bought a Helios 100 today - looking forward to it arriving! 😁

[@tonys2705]

Truly some awesome sounding amps you've created, Mr. Bogner... You've got a really great salesman there also!

[@craiglizt8074]

What a player! Just stunning all around

[@MorganPettersson]

Wonderful amps and playing in this video! Just great!

[@KelsterVonShredster]

holy...f**k...mind is blown...currently a Friedman owner/fan, soon to be a Bogner owner/fan :-)

[@arisl2370]

yes you will bow down from one master to another..lol

[@rigorhead01]

Excellent Brit tones! Rippin raunchy Plexi!

[@tangground]

Crazy good performance from Doug!

[@mohawkbear8768]

Doug is the freaking man. he can play one note for 5 minutes and still make it sounds amazing.

[@splawn86]

Jesus God! That first minute alone was enough convincing for me that he and the amp both are amazing.

[@marcstanford5857]

splawn86 yep I love when he does covers.

[@dragannestorovic01]

Doug, fantastic playing man. Reinhold, your amps sound so fucking good.

[@cornanddonutsforeverr]

Doug could sale any amp when it sounds like this ....phenomenal player , incredible !

[@brentjdowney]

Awesome! Love the BARK at the MOON! And everything else!

[@gitarbangsatchanel8036]

Killer tone,killer guitarist..amazing doug rappoport and awesome bogner 🤘

[@jasonsapp792]

Doug is such a skilled BEAST of a player....just AweSomE

[@rubievale]

I absolutely have to get me some of these amps. I'm a jaded, drug addled, broken, black hearted, cynic who rarely experiences joy, but I grinned all the way through this. Epic

[@gktde9874]

Where is the Rappoport-skill-switch on the amp ??

[@mrw55walton49]

if only

[@membertuber]

Greg V needs to do all amp demo videos. Incredible amp, player and production, nice job.

[@robmagrath9162]

Truly inspired playing. I also learned well copied that stones intro/song and included that in my playlist 🔥

[@peterdamm1355]

Hello Mr. Rappoport, this is one your best Videos in the last seven Years, in the Background is writen "Transform your own Sound" and Mr. Bogner cant' t believe, by drinking his bear, what is coming out of his amps, everybody wants the tabs of this session, i can't discribe it in words, but in German its only "geil," have a good time and keep on Rocking, great wishings from a Fan from Germany, Peter

[@TheBladepolisher]

Fantastic playing as usual Doug. Your playing sells the amps. The prices though have me lookin' elsewhere. I've got a great little Blackstar 100 Core wide stereo that can pretty much mimic the same tone your getting from thee 24 and $2600 amps. In addition to that, the amp is portable. I've got Marshalls from every decade going back to the early 70's and they'er sitting downstairs not being used. Again, thanks Doug ! ! When are you coming out with a well thought out book on your technique?

[@intrsoul]

damn he can play. chops, touch, soul. amazing.

[@krunozor]

Great great great demo and playing!

[@AMPSHOWS]

amazing player and amp tones!

[@pleximanic]

Reinhold Bogner is awesome!

[@Sunburst27]

Really great demo! Awesome amp sounds, but very important the job of Doug with his guitar! Very nice playing!

[@rikh78]

wow! incredible playing, and the Helios sounded wonderschon!

[@KBK286]

Pure Tone...Pure Players...the amps react to each of his playing...delight player ..super high class amps°)!:

[@MRxr400]

wow, that guys an amazing player, and love the amp too

[@looosh]

Somebody explains to me why i need to watch this video twice a day ? Lolzzzz

[@DanOughton]

Love this; stones crossfire hurricane!! Knaggs and a Bogner!!!

[@wildonekj]

whoa Bogner baby that's one mother of an AMP guys fantastic SOUND and looks are great also I love it

[@ElephantTank]

Sounds great and I absolutely love the faceplate on the Helios.

[@dougforeman309]

Great demo on those amps. Killer Stones, Zep and Ozzy examples too LOL! Right on.

[@davidpharr1760]

I have had some Bogners. They are all amazing!!! Currently using the Shiva. Doug, the Helios and the ATMA are all great. The ATMA is awesome for what it is. At 5W, in an apartment at 2 AM, you can't beat it. Big power feel at super polite volume. Thank you Reinhold!!!!!! You are a child of the Universe.

[@davidpharr1760]

coffeewaldo Yeah, I hear ya. Tube watts are loud. I have always lived in an apartment. I have usually had 100 watt amps. I just turn the volume down. Luckily never had a problem yet.. I think part of the "loudness" is a forward midrange. The Bogners' have a huge midrange. They really cut. How is the 1 watt setting in your place???

[@coffeewaldo]

Hey David, The one Watt is fine it's just a shame I can't use the other two I just can't play that loud in our apartment and I typically don't play loud anyway. Otherwise i'll hear my wife say turn it down. Meanwhile the volumes on maybe one.

[@davidpharr1760]

Lol! That is brutal. Hopefully you will get a chance to let it rip somewhere.

[@coffeewaldo]

Lol I'm ok David. I'm finding lots of different tonal options. This amp has endless varieties of tones that I keep coming across. At least i'll have my hearing right? The 1 watt can be loud. Trust me. Maybe i'll move up to 5 watts when nobody's around. :).

[@coffeewaldo]

I got it up to 5 watts tonight nobody seemed to notice haha.

[@steveking720]

awesome amp and doug is such an inspiring player.

[@Lillyfee]

great amp, great playing ! Ill defnitley test the Helios, sounds killer !!!!!!!

[@mertmermerci218]

Are those Arcane pickups in that Knaggs? I heard that during this video recording the idea of Arcane/Bogner pickups came out

[@2204JCM]

Doug’s playing is like having an top F1 driver go around the track in a new hi performance car. He able to squeeze more out the car and track than the designers thought was possible.

[@niptodstan]

Great playing.

[@ChrisvonChamier]

holy fuck Doug....your style is amazing!!! Hoping to see you at Namm in a few weeks!

[@richfiryn]

Not to mention Doug does the entire demo using that AMAZING Knaggs guitar.

[@castanonw]

Stellar player

[@unclealzbbq2185]

I wish i could plug in and play in that room===there is always a secret missing?? mxr carbon copy- but how was this recorded? and was it tweeked on? that pro tools thing always seems to come into play--

[@rockinchippy]

Doug kicks ass. Amp sounds great!

[@hemmelight]

Love both amps, that Atma is rad.

[@coffeewaldo]

Update still the best version ever of Gimme Shelter by DougERapps.

[@4Bolter]

Rapps is a MONSTER!

[@Greg-rd8qr]

Doug's great!!! Bogner's are also great?

[@jaeger28]

Love the looks. Love the concept. Love the tones. What's not to like?

[@francois007jeremiah]

What a player, damn....

[@chrischia4138]

Knaggs + Bogner + Rappoport = holy crap

[@hmn4466]

My name is HELIOS!!!!! I should win one of these!!! Awesome tones!!!

[@nenadbojkovic]

Just realized Doug was playing "Get It On" solo from Kingdom Come at 2:45

[@camblokland]

Woah... just got up to the Bark At The Moon bit. Mad squeals. Anyone know what pickups he's got in that axe?

[@DHgtr1]

Great Player..........Thanks....DH

[@FastRedPonyCar]

Damn they need to make a 50 watt Atma SO bad.

[@kellyjackson7889]

Fryette power station

[@EnriqueRivera76]

Couldn't agree more!!! ATMA 50 Please!!!
