Some of you have been following my Ultralead thead. I got the amp from GC for $1300 shipped. I do love it but, the fact that it doesn't have KT88's was bothering me, and I didn't want to stick another $150 in it for new KT88's after I just retubed 2 different amps last month.
I was going to keep it and retube in the future, until I found a "One Hundred" model on reverb for $1000 shipped. From what info I found before purchasing, the One Hundred is the Precursor to the Ultralead, only it used 2 KT88's with a transformer from the 2150 power amp.
For $300 less, and brand new Genelex Gold Lion Kt88's in the power section, I figured fuck it. I'll A/B the two when they come in to make sure I made the right decision. But the UL with 6L6's honestly didn't sound great. Lows and low mids sounded muddy in comparison to KT88's, so I wouldn't use it much as is.
Anyways, here's the new girl. Hoping to have it early next week.
