Diezel Herbert Mark III vs Mesa Triple Mutli-Watt vs Bogner UU

I really like your ecstacy clips. But honestly that Helios sounds like the perfect modded marshall these days... how do you feel about that? It definitely sounds better than the Uber Ultra!

It really is! It’s a great amp. I used to have one. Nothing like the Uber Ultra. Not even apples vs oranges. Maybe apples vs chicken lol. It’s one of the few non-vintage amps I’ve played that has some of that raw, organic quality of vintage amps and juicy midrange growl like a late ‘70’s JMP2203/4. I don’t get how it got underrated somehow. The only real complaint I and some have is it’s not the biggest sounding amp and you’ll especially notice that vs your Herbert, but the tone and feel itself is very good

I have no complaint about volume with Helios but it has very different swell than most amps. It is about 97dB at the half of the volume pot and it rise quite significantly about 2-3 o'clock, opposite of for example 2204 where it all happen 1-4 and the it became second gain knob This is apply for 100W Helios, Eclipse version was quite the let down. It lost a lot of the the midrange growl in trade for higher gain.
