Up for sale is my beloved Rev Green Uberschall. I just don’t play as much since my son was born. Serial number 336, it was made in February 2004 according to Bogner, making it one of the later Rev Greens to be made. This one has a switch that allows easy swaps between KT88s and EL34s, and the...
Yep. And don’t forget far better cleans and not needing a boost out front for the tight, brutal tones.
The only thing I found missing on the UU is the upper end lacking the sizzle of the Rev 2. It’s probably because the UU is voiced for a 16-ohm cab.
I’ve owned my Rev 2 (#336) for over ten years. I love the amp and nothing sounds quite like it. That being said, guess whether the Rev 2 or the UU is sitting in its case right now.
Yep, on Ultra mode there is just insane amounts of gain. Don’t go past about noon on the gain knob and the noise is okay. On Uber mode with a boost and Decimator out front, it’s dead quiet. People don’t really boost the amp in Uber mode, but it’s super nice.
