I just recieved my Jonas Hellborg amp and preamp.
I choose the 500 watt mono amp. I'm playing thru a Mesa Boogie 2-15 cab And I can't believe how great it sounds.
All the hype I've read is true. I usually prefer tube amps but this gear has a special sound to it. I recommend this to anyone with the means to get one. I wish I had the Hellborg cab to go with it but they won't ship to the USA untill Sept.
Anyone one else had the pleasure of playing the Hellborg system?

I have tried the JH Warwick amp and pre and they live up to the hype. They are very expensive but the reason I did not go ahead and purchase the set is the WEIGHT.

The tone of my iAmp800 is on par with it (very light in weight, not light in tone), but I will test drive both rigs side by side for a second time on Saturday

Yes, its a beast. Played one in Gothenbourg last week, it has such a great sound. It was the 500w mono, preamp and the big cab. I used a piezo Stingray through it. Don't quite have the cash now for one but its on the wish list. Totally awesome rig!!

Let me chime in here to agree on that the Hellborg system sounds fantastic! I also tried in Gothenburg (at MUG) the other day, and I was completely blown away.

This is the first time I've really heard what the bass I'm playing sounds like. Sounds strange maybe, but I've never played a better amp. The calrity is amazing, even with full bass boost it doesn't get muddy, and no EQ settings sound weird at max. The EQ section is powerful, yet not overpowering, and at the same time versatile.

The headroom is amazing. You can play at ridiculously high volumes without distortion.

As a bonus, it looks freaking awesome!

Maybe He Means...

Noohhhaaa Heeeeeeee Diiddddnnnnnttttt...

Just a guess

Anyways...That Amp sounds bitchen.

Jonas has a extreme persona, some might say Type A (I think thats a good thing).
If his name is on something you know it is tweaked to perfection.

I personally think He is one most underrated musicians of our time.

More so then the pics I want to 'hear' it then anything else in a musical setting (I already know what it looks like ;))
