Hack
Any updates on this amazing feat of engineering? I haven't heard shit about this amp that was long anticipated by diehard Ultralead fans expecting maybe some updates to get it to punch like a wizard like most modern amp builders seem to be doing...

Instead, we get a rackmount digital monstrosity at NAMM that was unplayable with Steve looking lost and talking about how cool it would be if it worked.

I am ready for some clips and feedback!

Supposedly this was shipping out in March

A little industry birdy told me these are pushed back to summer delivery. At the time when I was inquiring about it, I was actually going to preorder one just to kill the curiosity and once said birdy told me the new tentative date, I lost interest. That was the sign I needed to save my money and just enjoy my OG UL.

I checked for clips a few times, but i didn't find any.
 
Ha! I was just scouring YouTube to see if I could find any clips of the new ultralead II

I guess I'm showing my age but the new design makes me very skeptical. Kind of a bummer because the UL is one of my all-time fave amps of all time eva...
It is one of the best voiced amps I have ever played. It just seemed a bit small next to a wizard. I was kind of hoping for a 150 watt version with a little PUNCH in the circuit, but keeping that same voicing..

Have you tried a Deliverance? It was a big punchy amp. I'm sure we've talked about this a milltion times, but I had the UL and Deliverance 120 at the same time and I gotta admit the Deliverance was a little punchier.

Now I have a recently acquired Diezel VH4 and don't even think about VHT/Fryette anymore. LOL

I have played a deliverance several times. But never back to back with the ultralead. Tbh, I wasn't as big a fan of the deliverance, even though I always thought I would love it more than the ultralead. The ultralead very much surprised me...until i played it next to the huge punchers.

The vh4 is something I would love to try. I absolutely loved the vh2
 
Fryette does an occasional "malcontents" You Tube live stream on Sunday nights. It usually takes them 30 minutes to start talking serious, and they take live questions in the chat. @stephen sawall I've seen your name in that chat, do you know the malcontents schedule?
