Dave - I like rectos and Mesa in general but when I first had my Uber (1st run), I thought it blew my Rev. F out of the water. The Uber just had a drive that is focus, face melting and tough as nails. But you are right the clean channel left much to be desired.
Never had any issues with Reza and his personality when he was here. He contributed alot to making guitar and amp vids and I am thankful for that. But some ppl on this forum got triggered and turned on him for petty things.
