There’s a new dial on the amp called “Metamorph” and it’s got a switch attached to it labeled “Tight / Fat” and I’m hoping it’s just a built-in pre-distortion low end filter, and that dialing it down to 0 will get you the original Uber’s “unfiltered” voicing.
I have no inside information confirming that is what it could be, but that is what I’m hoping it is, because yeah tight metal amps are super fun for a while, but too much tightness can be too restrictive in terms of what you can use with them and how you can dial them in. And if you don’t craft the tightness filtering *exactly* right, you end up with as much or more honk than tightness. For example, see the Peavey 5150 II. And besides, a hyper tight clangy metal amp just isn’t what a Bogner Uberschall is.
I’ll also say that personally I have wished for a while that all modern high gain amps would just include a tightness control like the Bass knob on Mesa Mark amps. If that’s what this is, I’ll be thrilled because the built-in tightness will be adjustable.
