Has anyone been able to compare all three Ultras?

6l6 vs EL34 vs KT88?

The amps have been out for a while now and I'm curious if anyone can speak on all 3.

I have previously owned the 6l6 and it has been my favorite amp ive ever played so far. In the future I plan to get another one but I'm curious if I should stay with the 6l6 as it was near perfect for me or what are the differences between the others?

Other than the crazy noise floor (could be my home electric) the only thing keeping the amp from being absolutely perfect to me was being able to track a little faster and being a little tighter.

It must be the noisiest amp ever made in all honesty. I don't know much about FX loops but it seemed decent and took my noise gate fairly well but good lord :lol:

The old loops were parallel. Finally with the ultra, he made a serial loop.

Serial is only one that makes sense for high gain. I heard that Larry puts a parallel. That is loose butthole

Yeah I remember the Rev 2 loop being a pain in the ass. I had to have some type of -dB converter or something if I remember correctly to be able to use a lot of pedals.
 
The 6L6 Ultra is the best high gain amp I have ever owned or played and that is more than a hundred for sure. Includes all the usual suspects including all incarnations of the Uber going back to the 6550 version 1 . For me the 6L6 Ultra is magic. I have had multiples of most everything. That is an amazing amp. Not sure how it compares with the other Uber Ultras as I stopped there. I also have a Snorkler, Goldfinger SL, JB45, 3534 50, Duende as I dig Bogners but the UU is an awesome amp IMHO.
