Also, I own the 2525, and have owned the JCM800 Studio. If you do go full on amp, depending on your requirements, don't discount the Studio amps, they are awesome.

Man try the JCM800 Studio. I had one next to the 100watt head and I preferred the tone and the volume. I also tried the Plexi and whilst that sounded amazing, it just wasn't to my liking.I couldn’t agree more. I adore my 2525 head.
If you were to ask me, and I have both then no it does not sound the same. I do think you are very much like me, I had a tone in my head I wanted, that Slash UYI lead sound, and I found I preferred other amp sounds in the end.the point is this, the amp of my life is silver jubilee, but the axe give me more flexibility, hundred of fx and amp, and a small and light rig (my wife would be happier ). So i would understand from who own both if the jubilee sound is there or is completly different as someone say, of course i speak about the tone, also tro real amp sound a bit difference.

Hi SashmanI fully understand.
But not even two SJ will sound the same because of tolerances from parts like capacitors, pots, etc.
And keep in mind, that with the Axe you will always hear a amp with a cab and microphone.
The Friedman BE100 Deluxe was my dream amp and I bought it two years ago.
I can nail it’s sound for 100% with the axe but…
After trying different amps and cabs in the axe the Friedman is still a good amp but not my favourite anymore.
Or skip the 2555 and go 2525 + FM3. Probably about the same cost.^^ this is spot on, I had two and they were different. Also the whole rig sounded different from time to time.
From what I can tell you need to have the “real thing” and would be best buying the 2555x or 2525 and basing your rig around that.
If you get to a point where you can accommodate an AXE-FX III or something similar to support with effects and a wider tonal palette then great.
Alternatively the only way to completely answer your question and to make a decision is for you to order an AXE-FX III and a 2555x and load IR box and compare while making appropriate use of return policies.
The subjective opinions of others is no substitute for hearing it for yourself and making a decision.
Another great option for sure.Or skip the 2555 and go 2525 + FM3. Probably about the same cost.
That is a great solution and give me the possibility to have the post fx effect.Another great option for sure.
Personally I didn't like the Ox, and it's extremely overpriced. I went with the Two Notes Reload and the Two Notes Captur which where much better (plus you get Wall of Sound free)That is a great solution and give me the possibility to have the post fx effect.
The other possibility is not going with fractal and buy the head+ox amp, maybe the better solution for the best tone from amp.
I have an Ox Box… love that thing. It’s a whole post in itself. The best at what it does, which is far, far more than make loud amps quieter.That is a great solution and give me the possibility to have the post fx effect.

Haha, I didn't like the Ox, as someone said ask 100 musicians a question get 100 different answers.I have an Ox Box… love that thing. It’s a whole post in itself.
Ive read literally hundreds of threads like this one since joining the forum after switching to FAS in 2011. No one is ever going to get that SJ out of your head in favor of anything else. You‘d be best to buy the exact amp you’ve been dreaming of, and come to your own conclusions. Maybe it’s the panacea you thought. Maybe the reality of dealing with making an amp built for volume work in your world might take the shine off. Or maybe, like me and many others, you’ll find out that your favorite amps, a Fractal unit, an Ox Box, and whatever can all live in perfect harmony. Add the FM3 when you can and let your ears tell you. Fractal Audio just keeps getting more popular, so it appears they weather the real-world comparisons very well.
But get what you want. Anything else is “making do,” and unlikely to actually answer any questions for you. Just another 2 cents from someone who’s been down that road.
Oh yeah, nothing’s for everybody. It was a perfect fit for me.Haha, I didn't like the Ox, as someone said ask 100 musicians a question get 100 different answers.
Totally agree, if you have a sound in your head, buy the sound.... Then sell it and buy an Axe lol
