Hello all,
Just for some amusement on this dreary Monday morning, I thought I'd compare these two amps.
I own both. Use the Ultra Lead with my band, and the Herbert for everything else (metal related).
The Herbert Ch. 2+ is, in my opinion, the greatest metal channel ever created. Yet the UL combined with the other guitar player's 5150 II just destroys everything. They are both phenomenal amps. Overall I'd say the UL is quite a bit tighter and has more of a high-mid focus, whereas the Herbert has more of the colossal, tight bass and lower-mids. So...I think I prefer the UL in a band context (though the Herb can more than hold its own - all the stuff about it not being able to cut through the mix is complete nonsense written by people who are clearly unable to dial in an amp) but, I have to say, slightly prefer the Herbert overall.
Not ever selling either of them!
Anyone else owned both and care to share thoughts?
