With my PRS CE24 and Audio Eyra 1x15 cab with SRO 15:
Jim Kelley FACS Line Groove

I would say pretty similar. Both incredibly articulate, touch sensitive, and that bouquet of harmonics. Simply the best amps made for my ear and my style.

Those old Kelley FACS really have a unique voice & character to me in all the clips I've listened to.
Always bring me back to that 80's Holdsworth / Connors vibe; one of the most iconic US amp sounds to me, that stands on its own besides the great classics. I would even say those are "The" classic US lead amp tone to me, before Boogie.

I would agree. That sound is one of the first I heard (along with what I now know to be Dumble amps) that made me think “that’s it!”
This FACS Line is particularly special to me because Jim repaired it for me when he absolutely didn’t have to. That was my first experience dealing with him and it was overwhelmingly positive. That alone would have made me love the amps aside from how astounding they are and the legendary engineering (and truly artistic looks) behind them.

Excellent!!
Yes, sounds great!
What cab/speaker are you using in that new clip?
This sound always makes that photo & studio scene pop-up in my mind:
