Bogner Uberschall Rev Green vs Uber Ultra

As the manual for the UU states, cranking the density knob on the UU all the way clockwise gets it into Rev 2 territory. The UU is a bit more upper-mid focused with a tighter bottom end, and the Rev 2 is more scooped, sits more in the lower mids like most Bogner amps, and with a much fatter bottom end. They are both different amps for sounds that players were looking for in different eras.

To me, the UU was what the Twin Jet should’ve been—super tight, aggressive, articulate, and metal-focused. The Twin Jet I owned was tighter than my Rev 2, but still needed a boost to get there.

I found cranking the density made the amp more closed and less close to my Ecstasy 101b or old Uberschall's. When I put the density to 0/10 it sounded more open to my ears, though I usually preferred density at 5/10 when recording with it.
 
I believe the morph knob is determining how much of that 3 way toggle you're getting. (Doom, tight, and whatever else it was)

I would also play around with that along with density full to try to cop the Rev 2 tones...it can get close imo but not 100%
 
The Uber Ultra 6L6 is the best high gainer ever in my opinion. So many sounds on tap. INCREDIBLE AMP. Nice to hear you here. Your playing is instantly recognizable and that is a good thing.
 
The rev2 has more of that top end sizzle, which i like. The Ultra clips i've heard all have this 'blanked over the speaker' type tone that my ear doesn't love. Hard to describe but I've heard it in every UU clip

All about how you dial it in. Tons of sizzle if you want or need it. No end to where you can go with it.

Agreed on the blanket over the speaker on the UU. That's why I sold mine and got the Rev2. I could never dial out the filtered tone of the Uber Ultra and find my Ecstasy 101b, Helios Eclipse, and Uber Rev2 are all more open sounding which I prefer.

Very nice mate!

Yep I still hear it perfectly here.

The UU definitely has that filtered sound where the high mids and highs are just missing.

These frequencies are instantly there with your Rev2.
Makes the amp sound more up front and in your face.

The rectos have these same nice frequencies too.

I also like that the Rev2 has less options to tweak and the sound is just there.
