Hey guys,

Well, without going too overboard, I will just say I really am digging the way the UltraLead sounds. I played one a few weeks back and was impressed enough that I knew I wanted to have one for myself, so I went out and found one. It is everything you always hear VHT stuff to be, super tight, super clear and very refined. Clean is really good, Orange/Yellow channel is nice and fat. Quite warm, and Red Channel is balls out heavy, clear distortion. I REALLY dig KT88 tubes. I loved them in the D120 I had, and I love them even more in this amp. It's a dry sounding amp of course, but it isn't a bad quality, IMO. I'm interested to hear how it will sound in a band setting, but that may be a while, so I guess until then I shall just jam it and have fun. Anyways, here are some pics.

Good lord. I send him the best luck I can muster to snag that much for that bugger. that is gonna be a pretty hard sale, but more power to him if he can get it! :thumbsup:

Did he buy it locally?

-A-
 
Killer amp!

VHT's are right up there in my short list of favorites :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
Yeah definitely. I'd like to try a CLX and maybe a 50CL now as well. I wish I would've bought yours off of you now, Tony. :doh:

Given my track record, I will probably be selling another CL int eh next few months :D :lol: :lol:
 
I take it you did sell the one you were trying to sell, right?

VHTs rock! I already miss the CLX. Best lead tone I've had up to this point. I'm sure the Mark IV will sound great too!

Congrats :)

I thought I read in one of your posts awhile go that you didn't like the UL when you demoed one but I might have it mixed up :lol:

I have one fitted with GE 6550's and it kills, but I do want to try some KT-88's when I have the cash to spend :)

Here's a thread I posted awhile back when I jammed with it at higher volumes:

Yeah man....it is somewhere in Austrailia now :)
 
Played a UL and a D60 yesterday for three hour's with my Les Paul. Then I went and put down money on a Sig X.
 
Those ULs are some hot fucking amps!! Tight, dry and brootal!
Clips when you get a chance man!
 
Those are bad ass amps. I got to play on one @ last weeks show. Very tight, & great tone! :rock:
