Uber Ultra demo with Reinhold Bogner

[OldGtrGuy]

I shot out a rev green vs an uber ultra. Own both currently… The ultra definitely is capable of more low end, just depends how you set it.

If you set channel one in uber mode, presence cranked, depth 1 o clock, density like 9/10 not all the way like the manual says… channel treble zero, mids like 1-2 o clock, bass 1 o clock, gain cranked it gets very close to the rev green. Not dead on, but close.

Admittedly in this video I fucked up because I had them dialed in identically. Finished shooting and everything then jammed… realized my mics clipped because I ran the input too hard. Had to reshoot after my ears were already shot. So yeah, mids up a bit more and should do it.

Awesome video, thats super cool to be able to compare them like that. It's almost like the Ultra starts where the Green left off and then pushed it into crazier territory (Ch. 2 with all of the addional tweakable options) and better cleans in my opinion.

All V30s although working on a 2nd cab to compare soon.

Using a Jackson MJ Dinky with super distortions. Probably going to swap with a black winter set i have.

I did not hear the "filtering issue", that's why i asked. Sounded good to me. I'd say your fine.

I think that's mostly just ear fatigue and options paralysis. This amp isn't really typical or run of the mill in my opinion. One tiny little adjustment can change a lot then the ears get confused.

Yes. But i still think it sounds a bit filtered. It seems to be less of an issue with V30s and passive Pickups. Settings matter too of course.
The Ministry guy uses passives in the Kohle Clip. Sounds better, or at least a bit more organic, than with EMGs in the E-2 that Christian plays.
I just checked 2 of my Clips.
"Filtered":

"Unfiltered"

can clearly hear the horrible german accent of kohle, but Bogner comes of more as a crazy spanish guy or something, if i wouldn't know better.
interview is a mess.
boy this seems like a tweeker amp, would be a perfect love hate relationship for me
