Oh you bought one! Congrats on the new amp! If you are familiar with the older Uberschall amps and liked them....you will love the Uber Ultra. You can essentially dial in any Uber tone with it, including some super modern, tight ones you could not find in the older amps. You can really tweak...

El34 version....which can run kt88's High plate voltage, 150w version, exclusive to kt88's 6l6 version.

If you play modern metal or downtune, you would likely prefer a newer VH4. They are brighter and tighter. Same amount of gain on ch3, but ch2 has a bit more and can into actual jcm 800 territory. I found ch4 also actually usable as an alternate high gain rythm channel on the late model VH4. My...

I don't have any recordings (learning....getting better), but the Wizards can do the edge of breakup, lower gain crunch stuff exceptionally well also. One of my favorite settings on my w800 is pulling the tone stack shift, which is more "American", upping the treble and presence a bit, backing...

Great clips/playing and of course, stoked you are loving your MCII! Totally agree with you about the versatility regarding the controls; the eq's and other tone shaping options are very powerful. I was surprised to find that I could get my Wizards to do 101b thing....or the Ultralead...

Probably my Wizard Leopard. As for why: I like how it doesn't excessively cut lows and/or hype upper mids. You can use its gain control to fine tune the amount of saturation you want, without drastically altering your core tone or feel.

They are absolutely different enough to own both. UU is a metal monster that can dabble in more rock oriented stuff. The Ecstasy is a rock monster that can dabble in the harder stuff. The Ecstasy is always going to sound a feel a bit more vintage, whereas the UU is very modern right out of the gate.

I have had my w800 100w almost a year now and it is probably my favorite amp overall. So, this is obviously a very biased opinion because I like it so much, but here goes: Compared to the MTL mkII, MCII (which I have played) and MCI (which I own), the w800 absolutely has more Marshall DNA in...

Totally. That fat mod makes the Recto channel pretty well unusable and you can't dial the bloat out.

Dude! I love Divine Intervention....and your tone here sounds killer!

I grabbed an early MKIV recently in a combo version for a killer deal (footswitch doesn't work). I stupidly sold my old MKIV many years ago, but plugging in to this new one, going through my '99 Recto cab, it was instant smiles and a reminder of how awesome that amp is. Big, tight, punchy and...

And don't underestimate how much money some of these Boomers have. They are the generation that REALLY got to live the "American Dream". As for the gear landscape once they are gone? On to making money off of Gen X I suppose. Plenty of Gen X'ers and older millennials with expendable income now...

It's true! My benchmark for how an amp feels and responds is my old man's early 70's plexi. While I won't say my Wizards have the mids that just seem to get both meatier and aggressive when you crank it up, they do have alot of the qualities I love about that amp. Felt alot of those qualities in...

I was in that camp of "they are overpriced and overhyped".....until I had a chance to play one at volume. Pretty much heard....and felt....what the Wizard fans ranted raved about. I picked up a 2022 w800 from Clp45, a great dude and member here and now I am a huge fan: that amp can get so many...

Thanks man! That one and the Copperhead McCarty are my two favorite PRS's. The black one is a 2022 Robben Ford McCarty. The design is his dojo symbol. They are killer pickups: in the PAF camp, but with alot of snap and attack.

A few of my favourites!

Ya, I am in that group for sure. My friends that have tried my Uber Ultra that are bona fide metal guys absolutely love it. I tend to gravitate to ch1 in Uber mode and don't go above noon with the gain.

Ya, the Ecstasy is the one for sure. A "simpler" Bogner that can also get wide range of tones, especially some amazing crunch/rock tones is the Helios.

My opinion after playing it a bit now: good clean channel for a beast of an amp. Crunch tones to me, are passable, but not really inspiring in either tone or feel department. I mean, it can do broken up to rock crunch tones, but that is definitely not what the amp excels at.

Oh I love them as well man. Like I said, they were the PRS pickup that kinda made me give PRS pickups as chance again. My first PRS was also a McCarty I bought back in 2003....and I HATED those pickups! Lol! Fell in love with the guitar though. I tell ya, people can spew all the...
