Hello all! First time posting here but I always enjoy the responses here and how helpful everyone is so with that..
I have an '89 Jubilee 2555 with brand new Mullard power tubes and original preamps and refreshed by one of the Bay Area's best amp techs. Beautiful amp, love the tone, but it's a big one to lug around and fit in the car and all. I had an itch to downsize and go with an EVH 5150iii (still debating versions) but I think I can get really similar tonewise while having the added versatility of the added red channel for my metal episodes. Typically I do hard rock and heavy blues (Angus Young, Slash, the usuals). Would also be snagging up the matching cab with G12s of course.
So would I be nuts to do that? It seems like I can make a decent trade with a profit and save my poor back. I haven't really found any comparisons of this nature so far.
