Well that is definitely an option. Maybe someday I'll have an Ultra Lead to go with it
the Uberkab is a great cab, but the polyfiber stapled on the back panel sucks all the life out of it. If you get one, rip that shit out. But really…. You should be getting a Fat Bottom cab!
Man the Driftwood sounds great!
To be fair, my Omega cab is loaded with an Eminence VM12-65 which is Omega's proprietary speaker and also a DV-77. That cab has made every amp I've owned since I got it sound better than my Engl v30 cab has. The low end of the Uber seems fairly easy to control with this cab and I wouldn't call it loose or out of control whatsoever. The Diezel cab mixed with K100's andV30's is probably a great combo, would love to try that for sure.
Not sure what model Eminence’s were in my in my friend’s Omega’s, but am guessing probably the VM12-65’s if they’re the default ones. I like some of the vintage Eminence speakers. Some of them are real sleepers
I feel like the low end on the Rev Blue can get pretty overbearing if you're not careful with the eq. But like you said, I don't find it loose by any means, but I feel like I've seen that comment numerous times from others.
Those amps do have fairly beefy bottom end and needed to be dialed in a bit differently than you’d typically do for most other amps. It’s been a while now since I’ve last tried any Uber’s, but I think I remember the Rev 2 and Twin Jet’s being tighter, but none were loose to me
, I might have labeled the reamp wrong, so not sure haha! It’s either the driftwood or the rev F though for sure.
I think what a lot of guys really mean about the Ubercab is the low mids that make it sound so thick/fat, maybe more so than any other cab I’ve tried so far, but haven’t yet tried a Mills. I think it’s lack of harshness and more polished sound is likely because of its foam on the back panel. Some guys have removed the foam and liked it better that way, but I’ve not tried it myself. I’ve got vintage JBL’s in my Ubercab now (makes it weigh a ton lol), which are some of the brightest, most sizzly speakers out there and even with them in it, it’s still not at all harsh or rough around the edges. Put those in most other cabs and it would sound quite rude and nasty
My twin Uberkabs are both loaded with Marshall G12V Vintage speakers (Same as your 1960BV) & rewired with Colossal Purist 15 awg solid core wire. Now they sound so 3D its unbelievable.
The wires that came in my Ubercab looked very thick/beefy. Is the colossal one considerably better? Is that the same colossal that makes those thick guitar and speaker cables? I’ve got a few of those
I don't quite agree with the description of 'polished' regarding the Uberkab. Even Dave Friedman said the Bogner cabs are more raw than his own models (maybe because his might be "ultra polished" or smooth)? At any rate, I also prefer raw, gritty unpolished tones most of the time and the Uberkabs satisfy me 100%. They are, somehow, smooth yet raw at the same time. I think their overall design naturally and selectively filters out some of the nasty frequencies found in other cabs. And it has more to do with the overall design than just the Polyfil.
I don't know. Lots of companies make thick guitar & speaker cables, including Colossal.
I don’t know, compared to my Diezel 412 FL and Kerry Wright the Ubercab sounds more polished and smoother than those 2, but maybe a Friedman would be more so. Haven’t compared the 2 before, only tried them separate
Congrats. I loved the twin jet I had. I definitely didn't get growl. But that smoothness was nice and that amp could fuckking punch
Agreed. I think the KT88's in the Twin Jet could have also made them even a bit smoother, but also punchier than some of the other revision Uber's. My Megalith Beta came with KT88's, but am having my tech look into other tube options for it since I don't really like KT88's
