    @Bram576 What poweramp version did you get?

    NAD: Uber Ultra

    I'm really curious about this treble frequency you can't dial out in channel 1. I had an Ecstasy 20th head for a couple weeks and both gain channels also had high end you could dial out. However, in the Red channel it sounded good, but in the Blue channel, it sounded pretty bad. The Ecstasy...

    For the love of Les Paul...

    I've never seen a maple top look like that. Whoa.

    @PurityS.L.G This might sound obvious when you say it out loud, but when you mess with channel one of the UU, being that you’re saying it’s overly bright, don’t be afraid to set the treble and even mids full counter clockwise and see what happens then. Go nuts with it. Maybe that's unnecessary...

    I'm curious about whether you have a solid favorite out of the three or if you think they're all just slight variations of the same quality of high gain.

    What kind of tubes are in your Ultra?

    Axe fx 3 tones!!! This thing is insane!

    The Axe-Fx 2 is great and can still get great tones, but yeah the Axe-Fx 3 is really something special. Some of the models (at least some of the models of the amps I own and can directly compare) really are so close that even that amp's biggest fans might not be able to tell a difference in tone...

    Axe fx 3 tones!!! This thing is insane!

    For what it's worth, I bought a 2/90/2 new back in 2008-9 when the company still shipped them with the VHT logo on the front, and I still have it. I've had it longer than any other poweramp or head I have, and I can't say enough good things about it. Basically, like a good pair of shoes, it's...

    Post your 2023 stable here

    Damn, dude. Killer setup.

    Axe fx 3 tones!!! This thing is insane!

    Speaking as somebody who loves my Axe-Fx 3 to death... if I can give you a piece of advice, it's that even if you can dial the Axe-Fx to sound as good as, or even better than, your tube amps, I'd keep the tube amps around. If you're like me, you'll still want to fire them up every now and then...

    Axe fx 3 tones!!! This thing is insane!

    Yes. I've said before that I can get my Axe-Fx 3 to sound as good as my tube amps, but not exactly the same. Part of that dissimilarity is that the modeler usually sounds slightly crisper and and less messy. I mean it's VERY subtle, like a 1% difference or whatever, but it's still there if you...

    Axe fx 3 tones!!! This thing is insane!

    As far as Axe-Fx amp tweaking goes, @VESmedic is right, you basically never have to go into the advanced sections anymore to get tones as good as the real amps can get. However, there are still two controls in the advanced parameters I will occasionally mess with just to give myself some...

    Axe fx 3 tones!!! This thing is insane!

    Hah nice! Gotta say though for me the reactive load isn’t going anywhere. Playing a cranked tube amp hard enough to hear the guitar physically ringing out in the transformer and getting all that at convenient volumes is just too cool to stop doing. :) But yeah you could probably legitimately...
