Be here on Friday, in time for Friday night jam. Cannot wait. It was impossible to find one new.

I know you have a quickrod....excited to see a comparison, even a clip comparison. The Helios is the only amp i am gassin for...

I finally opened up the Pro Stock this weekend through my 4x12 in the studio and it was pretty remarkable. Still loud as hell, but with the loop volume, I got grwat tones! The EQ of the PS took a bit to get the hang of, but it was very responsive. It can get bright or darker, but it's not a dark amp. It has great mid-cut, which I love. It has more than the Smallbox I played the day before.

I'll comparw the two when I can. All I have is an IPhone, but will try to get some this weekend for you.

I can't keep both, so ones gonna be up for sale in the coming weeks.

Sweet dude!

I love my Helios! Spend some time with it...it takes a while to figure out the sweet spots. There are some great tones in there!!

 

[tonedog]

Haha...well maybe JYD is done on the forum cuz he found his tone

Oops! Sorry, guys. Yeah, I love it. Jammed on it a few hours last night at band jam and was super pleased. The tonal options and variations are great. It really is a Marshall through and through. I've only played a hanful of Plexi's, but I've played a lot of Marshalls (800, 900, DSL, JMP, modded Marshalles, etc.) and this one is great.

I will write a more detailed review later and ask for some settings. I saw some clips that did a pretty mean, tight metal, each with a boost, and it does need a boost to do that, but most do. Regardless, I believe it was worth the scratch.

I'm gonna jam on it more today and will try to make some clips.

I LOVE that is has a great master volume. Seriously, I would not get the 50w if you are looking to control volume. Also shows me how loud Splawns are, but thankfully the loop volume on Splawns work beautifully.

I can't keep both the Helios and Pro Stock B+ so one's going up for sell in the next week or two.

More to come. Cheers!

I didn't get to play it over the weekend.

However, do any owners wanna share their settings for certain types of music?

Blues, rock, hard rock, metal?

Cheers!
