There's a D120 with loop I believe on TGP that's been sitting for quite a while at $1,500. Pretty fair price these days.

Hard Pass for me. I guess an older Pitbull is going to go up even more in value now.
Fryette should of taken a que from Gibson/Mesa as I think that Mesa has sold a ton of the Mark IIC+ and 90"s Dual Rectifier reissues and just re released the Ultralead in it's original form , but maybe Fryette wasn't paying attention
At the very least it would be great to offer the original version and this for anyone looking for the latest greatest whatever.

I hope so. I am in a situation where I am playing out three-four times a week but I am limited to a clean stage setup. An actual tube preamp with a digital power section would be a great solution for me. The Tonex gets me very close to my amps via captures I have made, and then captures of unobtainium amps from third party vendors, but an actual tube preamp would be wonderful.

Jk, ive had nothing but good encounters with them but yeah, I do see everyone's points. Would just need to try the amp for myself to see but yeah.

Actually, I'm sure it will sound great, but don't prefer the new format and really hope that there is still an option to get the fire breathing head?

Yeah, I cant imagine it being difficult. Unless some of the parts are out of production and new parts don't meet the QC is the only thing I can imagine.
Obviously he's been working hard with lots of new designs and products over the years, some of them are pretty cool too but it does make me wonder why he would re release the Deliverance series instead of the Flagship UL in a standard format.

I can see on the display there’s an option that says “equalizer”, so maybe it’s a digital option now that can change per channel. That’s actually pretty cool if that’s the case!View attachment 430191What the hell is this? Considering all the interest over all these years for the Ultralead to be re released they decide to not listen to their customer base and instead put out something completely different. And no graphic 6 band EQ >>> Really ???
I get companies want to evolve and they are not faulted for it . it just would of been nice to have had the option to have the original design available again as there is a market for it, but instead well... there is this

All I want to see is @JerEvil following around the “ it’s not your concert” guy with a portable amp and blasting it through every interview he tries to do.

That’s what kills it for me. If it had an analog GEQ, I’d actually entertain this but not exactly pumped up about it in any facet. Steve knows what he’s doing and I’m sure it will sound good but I’ll stick with my OG that I’m never letting go thanks to this release.Looks like you control the EQ through the LCD screen

The description on that link, which is the Fryette press release says it’s a mix of el34 and 6550. Not sure why AP header says 6L6

I had a CLX and UL at the same time, they sounded pretty much the same.
