NAD! Fryette Ultralead + Clip!

[errrrrl]

Finally! I can't believe I found an Ultralead locally... and it was from a friend of friend This VHT Ultralead has an updated Fryette badge. Looks like it has the original Sovtek tubes so I'm curious how it will sound with a new batch of tubes in her. So far I'm loving this amp... My only issue is that its so fkn huge and distinguished that it stands out against the rest of my amps... gonna be hard to hide this one from the wife

Congrats


Bad ass. I thought you layered drums on at first and then realized it was your strings I could hear

Enjoy.

PS: Love your videos you normally do, but also appreciate not be distracted

Hey thanks 311splawndude! I should post more clips of just my amps once in awhile. The audio came out pretty good for a phone vid I thought.

 

[311boogieman]

I think i'm too much of a gear hoarder in that I can't imagine selling hardly anything especially if it sounds good I think I still have a Peavey Vypr 15 in the closet somewhere too

Congrats man! I know you've been contemplating one of these for a while.

Thanks Mike! I couldn't believe this amp popped up locally and belonged to a friend of friend. I wasn't ready to jump on it timing wise but I had to

Congrats bro! Saw the video on
the Facebook group!

Thanks man! This amp is something else. It can do lots of tones but man it just sounds angry to me. Fkn love it

I dig every Fryette/VHT I've ever owned or played. Congrats!

 

[JerEvil]

Nice! Glad you grabbed this. KILLER amps!

 

[Wizard of Ozz]

Good stuff!

One of the best UL clips I’ve heard. You got some saturation going on, even at low volumes.

 

[RedB4Black]

Sounds awesome!

Killer amp. I've had mine for about 8 years now. It has seen a lot of other amps come and go.

Thanks Mr Butter nuts Sir Hoping to dig in tomorrow!

Thanks Pete. I only heard em via youtube and the clips always varied. But I always managed to hear a narly growl that you just don't hear in other amps... feels good to mark this one off the list

Nice! Glad you grabbed this. KILLER amps!

Thanks Jer! I love this thing... sounds so pissed off

Good stuff!

Thanks Wizard! I kind of went aggressive real quick dialing this thing in. It started off sounding like something off the Black album and then RAWWWRRRR!

Sounds awesome!

Thanks Matt! I appreciate all the help and answering my questions Huge help!

Of all the amps I've owned over the years, the UL is the one that has been impossible to replace or forget. Such a killer amp!! Enjoy it man, that's a good one

 

[stephen sawall]

Sounds ripping

 

[bubucci]

It is Friedman or Bogner cab ? I don't think it makes UL justice. Ultralead/Pitbull shine thru VHT/P50e cabs because they have 'hollow' spot in mids where pitbull's mids fits perfectly. It is not bad sound thru Celestion cabs but not best possible either. Deliverance series is more flexible with other cabs/speakers.

 

[ErikT]

Grats dude! Sounds aggressive, I dig it! Enjoy the amp.

Of the many amps I've owned, this is the one amp that surprised me the most upon plugging in. For years I read comments about how unforgiving and dry the UL is and when I finally got my hands on one it was the polar opposite.

UBER saturated and very very compressed to the point of sounding dare I say processed like and Engl. I'm not saying I didn't like it, just that it was a shock. Mean and tight but no where near as tight as the countless forum reviews/comments led me to believe. In the end I actually prefer the 50CL and sold the UL. Guess I was expecting a very open/uncompressed gain structure and this one was the complete opposite. FWIW it was a 2001 & I tried about 10-12 different preamp tube cocktails.
