Which Uberschall Do I Want?

I much prefer the Rev 2 Uber over the Rectos. The Uber is just smoother with no buzz.

Everyone is well aware by this point that I love Rectos, but my old Uber is a personal favorite and certainly isn’t going anywhere.

I asked him about his Uber prior to his posting it on Reverb through FB. He told me $3,500 was firm, and that these types of amps are only sold on the down-low. They never reach normal market place sites, like Reverb. Guess that wasn't correct. His panties bunched up his ass-hole when it took me a minute to respond. God forbid I care for the crying newborn first before responding to his dumbass offer. He then blocked me on Facebook. HaHaHa!!

Come on bro don't be a player bro. You're playing games bro.

He blocked me too because I wouldn't sell him mine.

I think the Recto sounded better. It sat more where a guitar should sit. The Uber sounds gummy, and the lows would be all up in the bass players turf.

Pretty much this +1. Give me a Rev C, Rev F, or MW Triple any day over any version of the Uber. Uber = too dark, smooth, polite, and distant.

DL = much like his sexual activities.

Those prices are ridiculous. As far as the Uber vs other high gainers, I personally love them. I shot out a rev blue against a rev F two channel Dual recto, a blacked out Multiwatt Triple, Splawn Nitro, Peters (forgot the model), EVH 50 watt and a few others through a bunch of different 412s and the Uber was probably my favorite. I think they need a lot of volume to shine but once it was cooking it sounded glorious and huge.

I've owned every version of the Uber, and IMHO the original release is the one that has the magic. My very first Uber was an original version (somewhere around serial sign #44). It was absolutely huge sounding, so thick and so complex. I got talked into trading it for a rare one-off Suhr modded Marshall, and stupidly figured I could always just buy another Uber. Well, the one-off sucked and I went about trying to replace that Uber with another one. Trouble was, every other version of it didn't have the huge sound stage of that first one. I went through them all, some more than once - green, blue, twin jet... all great amps, but they just didn't measure up to my memory of that first one. I finally found (here on RT) where SteveK was selling his favorite Uber - an original version and lo and behold, it sounded exactly like the first one I had, maybe even better. All IMHO of course and to each his own, but I know what I hear and I wouldn't trade this Uber for anything.
