I hate opening this thread because I really want to try an Uber Ultra!

I have one on order but no idea when I’ll get it. I hope it’s everything it’s supposed to be!

I got a few amps to take if any of you Uber guys want to move on or try new amps .

Did anyone ever check the plate voltage of the UU?

Gave my first impressions of the KT88 Uber ultra in this video towards the end.
The recorded tones I got IMO are some of the best I've had. Thing sounds immense both in the room and under a mic

It’s crazy how versatile it is. I actually like channel 2 in the Uber mode with a boost too. The internal boost on the Uber mode channel 3 is killer. Ultra mode is just insanity. It’s becoming my favorite amp I own.

nice tones - how's ultra compared to the rev green and blue?

As soon as I move some gear I am for sure ordering one of these. It may make me get rid of my two Rev G Dual Rec's.

It can do those tones when dialed correctly and so much more.

Nice to see more videos pop up of the KT88 and 6L6 variants! For a while it seemed the only ones out there were the EL34 ones which influenced me getting one.
Looking forward to the full review since I get most of my amp queries or interest answered in your videos these days

100% agreed. There is really no reason to get any Uber other than the ultra from here on out, other than price ?

It’s gotten way out of control. 6-8 k for custom guitars that have a 3-4 year wait. Every boutique amp new is 3k or more. Luckily seems like on the used market prices are coming down fast. Hopefully companies realize what’s going on with a slower gear market and lower prices.

How are the crunch tones? Metal is only a small part of my playing. Does this head handle other styles well, clean to crunch?

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.

If you don’t play metal don’t get an Uber.

I've seen way too many guys sell their Ultra's because "it's way too modern". If you turn knobs and mess with the amp, it has plenty of other tones in it but at the end of the day, it's a straight up fire breather.
