I have a Marshall 2555x that kills for hard rock. Would a Helios be redundant? I'm in favor of the 50w over the 100w. Not interested in the Eclipse and a better true channel switcher. I don't need over the top gain either.
The 2555x is not really a true 2 channel switcher much like the Helios. The Helios seems to have more tones going on but you have to use either plexi or hot inputs which is no big deal. I have heard all the clips on YT but will have to purchase before even playing.
Is the Helios brighter (more upper mids) than the Jubilee? Would you say it's more aggressive than the Jub? More vintage Marshall sounding? (.38 Special, Thin Lizzy, UFO, early AC/DC etc.)
