I cannot for the life of me get my Rev 2 to sound like that... where did you place the SM57?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

almost dead center.
forgot to mentio that I used a TS as a boost in this clip though

I'm using one too, a Maxon OD 808. Mine seems a lot more midrange-heavy than yours, possibly due to the KT88s. Gotta try the KT88s in mine...

 

[RSRD]

Nice clip. The tone is perfect for the music you are playing

 

[Lasse Lammert]

I'm really loving the KT88 a lot

All kinds of ass.....kicked, has been.

Is that a TJ or a..???

Tight - tight and grindy. Nice stuff.

[Lasse Lammert]

thanks.
this is a Rev2 (green) with KT88

There's something so organic about the Rev 2, moreso than the Twin Jet. The Twin Jet sounds a lot more modern and less raw. In my experience it also likes active pickups a lot more than the Twin Jet.

I'd love to try the tj, am afraid that I'd like it though...and I can't afford another amp

Preamp tubes make a much bigger difference in the uber than in most of my other amps, the über had a rather brittle and dry upper midrange that's difficult to dial out (treble pot is higher and middle pot affects lower frequencies), took me a lot of time to find the best combination of tubes to get that high mid grainyness under control.

 

[leib10]

What preamp tubes are you using?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

gonna check when I'm back in the studio

Are they basically JJ ECC83s tubes? My German is pretty rusty... I might be looking for something a little less fizzy than the stock Chinese.

No, they're a new type of tube, not sure who makes tbh, but it's none of the "regular" tubes (JJ, EH, Sovtek etc), I haven't found them in any other store yet either.
The bass is low and full, they have a nice smooth top end and less fizz than any other tube.
Loving them a lot

 

[leib10]

That's what I'm interested in. The Chinese tubes in the Uberschalls can lead to a lot of fizz if dialed incorrectly, especially with the Rev 2, which has unbelievable amounts of treble on tap and can get very fizzy.

EDIT: Threw some Sovtek KT88s in there, and it sounds a lot more like your Uberschall does with those settings. Tighter and much more scooped. More bassy.
