Well, the Rev2 with the mesa cab sounded very tight aggressive more trebly and very punchy.
But I still prefer the uberkab with X patt.

The original is the Rev.2 aka Rev. Green due to its green PCB (amongst other tell-tale build aspects)UberKrankenschtein":2h22w936 said:Anyone ever got to compare the Uberschall original to the rev 2, or TJ? I had mine next to My old Rev Blue, and the Rev Blue sounded like a thin whimpering little girls amp in comparison.
The original has much more growl and bite. Really hard to describe with words, the original definitely has a lot more in it than the rev blue. It's like the difference between a modern Mustang GT and the GT350.

Are you saying the original is more aggressive than the rev2/green? Does having the caps in different locations make much of a difference? I think the original is the only version I haven't gotten to tryUberKrankenschtein":16eg4d13 said:Mine is the original, pre rev 2/green, Bogner says only about 100 exist like this, more aggressive, faster taper pots, caps in different locations etc

I'm really curious now about the sound differences between the rev2 and original. I agree with the others about the Rev Blue being the least impressive. I remember the Twin Jet sounding like the Mesa Rectifiers but more polished/less raw and tighter, but it wasn't my cup of tea. The other Uber I tried I assume was a Rev2 (but could've been an original) and found it way too compressed and overgained (even at slightly passed 9 o' clock the amount of gain was insane) and a bit dark sounding, but it was super forgiving and easy to play (which could also be another reason some guys love em so much) but after reading all these Uberschall threads lately I'd like to give the Rev2 or Original another tryUberKrankenschtein":15srej7z said:braintheory":15srej7z said:Are you saying the original is more aggressive than the rev2/green?

I have never played a rev 2, so I cannot say this for a fact, I'm going by my communication with Bogner. Some state it seems more aggressive because of the faster taper in the pots. I know it made my rev blue seem like a really poor quality amp in comparison, which is why I wound up selling it after getting this one. The rev blue still destroys most Amps on the market, so that says a lot!
My point was to shed light on the fact that there is one more iteration of the Uberschall we should be talking about in this thread, and at some point to document the actual sound difference, although the originals are very rare.
That sounds about right from what I remember of the Krankenstein. Both amps have TONS of gain on tapUberKrankenschtein":3jlqpnfe said:Here's the thread with a little back story on this particular Uberschall.

I run my gain at noon, or less with most pickups. If the output is lower, I'll turn it up a little, if it's higher I'll turn it down a little. I definitely like amps with gain to spare since I'm a gainiac for sure. I was just playing my Parker Fly on my Uberschall a little while ago and it will crush your bones into dust even with a relatively low output dimarzio and gain at noon.
My Krankenstein runs at about 2 o'clock on the gain for comparison.
