Fryette Pittbull Ultralead II

I’m not, lol.

Even if I could swing that, I would buy an in stock SE FE or a used Wizard tbh.

I still am stuck with the pre covid mindset where $4k for an UL is absolutely wild.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it is killer. I had a 100CL which I regret selling and it was devastating. I also had a 50CL which was ass and the very early UL which was even more ass. But the modern, updated UL. Yes!!! For $2k used lol. Im cheap.

But im quite sure a lot of people already pre ordered it.

There's going to be some jerks out there who've already pre-sold it too

Im laughing at the guy on Reverb right now with the $2,700 QC mini. Like bro, it will be in stock next week, chill.

Mostly same for me on all points.

Also, it’s already been discussed at length but as good as it will probably sound, I agree with everybody that I think the built-in digital components of this thing will be its real downfall.

I probably would actually buy a remake of the old ultra lead head, but this, in that format, with all the digital stuff married into it? Nah not interested at all.

I had to google what the hell a QC mini was. Thought it was a bizarre sex act involving a midget

Im kind of on the fence about that.

I feel like for longevity it's a very bad idea and something digital would fail before the caps would but I'm a hack, what do I know?

I don't mind how it looks, i love the lightweight but does it have a handle on top? It seems like theyre forcing a rack case which doesnt appeal to me.

On top of that I personally think Steve was looking at this from the AXE FX crowd standpoint like hey, those digital guys are going to love this. About 10 years too late on that imo.

Again, I wouldn't know but I feel the AXE FX is kind of dead? Not really sure how many are selling and who's still using them but idk that's just my take on it.

No, thats the TT mini.

hey bucko i resemble that remark

and i take nothing personal—my new to me axe II XL is a fun noisemaker! i whipped up a Cameron atomica patch with a looper for practicing leads over changes, a nice 2290 emulation, and a couple other sounds i’m messing with.

You don't need a footswitch. You just change channels with Bluetooth on your phone.
It's easy. After you put in your password they send you a six digit code. Once they verify it's you your tone is downloaded from the website.

I thought you were going to say:

What I meant was more regarding the gear nerd hype train. I definitely could be wrong but it seems to me the AXE FX was all the hype and the King 15 years ago but now it's the Quad Cortex and nobody cares about the Axe, maybe it's just me.

They're still going to sound as good as they always have and continue to get better but isnt NAM like much better/more realistic?

I think this new UL has the I want to be the AXE FX 3 with tubes appeal to both crowds vibe (or gimmick if you wish) going on.

i actually love that this version is as updated and maxed out as it will ever be and i won’t have to consider a bevy of heart stopping game changing more real firmware updates

To me it has more of a "rack is back!" vibe, which seems to be what the shills are pushing now. Only the GEQ and IR/cabsim out is digital as far as I recall.
