Heaviest Uberschall revision

[paulyc]

Which Uberschall is the heaviest ? I know nothing about all the various revisions etc, which one is the most brutal ? Also, didn’t psychodave have a revision blue modded by Cameron ? Anybody got a video clip of that stashed away somewhere ? Thanks in advance !!!

Ultra from clips sounds too filtered to me for my tastes.

My OG uber and Rev F rectifier were in very similar territory.
Slightly preferred the Rev F but the OG uber was killer too

I found the Ultra to be more “metal” and certainly way tighter. Metal guys seem to really dig them.

I've owned a bunch of Ubers over the years, the OG is a beast but I have to say the UU is really killer and can get those OG style chugs.

Who has all of them at once and thinks to themselves: "You know, I should get my scale out and weigh each of these."

@paulyc what kind of music do you play? Uber ultra straight in is capable of most brutal tones straight in, it just is. But the definition of brutal and heavy music here varies quite a bit lol. I think like cannibal corpse, death metal, grind etc….

Not many here are into super heavy music. It’s my main stuff.

The Ultra is absolutely better than the Rev 2. It can get way heavier and more brutal. Some disgusting tones in that box. I'm fully convinced of you think that amp is "too" anything then you didn't know how to dial it in. Took me a few months to figure that amp out and it's one of the best.

The Ultra technically can sound similarly powerful to the Rev 1 when I AB’ed them and certainly can be way tighter and more modern, but the core tone itself (no matter how you dial it in) had this inherent really filtered, cardboard-y, synthetic, sterile quality to the sound and feel that I hated and despite being actually tighter the Rev 1 still tracked notes better on very fast passages in much the same way like when I AB’ed a mark 7 vs a real iic+

I didn’t like the last Rev 2 I tried nearly as much as the Rev 1’s, but they vary a lot from what guys tells me and the Rev 1’s I’ve had and played certainly varied (physically under the hood too), but still all were great of what I’ve played, but different

I never had a Rev blue and Mark never modded one for me. I currently have a Rev 2. Haven't played in in almost 3 years.

 

[gybe!]

Had a blue, have an Ultra. Would not go back to a blue from an ultra at all…

Recall the Cameron modded one floating around the classifieds at one point. I have a Cameron overhauled xtc that’s killer so I can imagine an Uber would be pretty fun too!

Post your video bro… it’s was killer….

Had a Blue and now have an UU KT88 and IMHO the UU absolutely smokes the Rev blue. Way tighter, tracks way faster, way more character to the voicing, way more versatile and just a much angrier more brutal amp for metal. UU goes from thick, chewy and meaty to lean, clanky, and overly tight if that's your thing. Soooo many tones and gain structures available.

Oddly enough I mostly play 80s cheese, BUT I like to get heavy too. I played an OG Uber when they were new and wasn’t super impressed, but my tastes have certainly changed since then and I’d like to take another crack at it.

I wouldn’t choose an ultra for ‘80’s stuff, but maybe some would. With Ubers also they need strange settings almost exact opposite of how I dial in Marshall’s and most other amps

The OG or Rev 2 (rev green) is the choice for me. I have now owned both the Uber Ultra and Rev Green. The Uber Ultra is no doubt tighter but it has a very filtered EQ notch to it on the higher frequencies and I could never dial it out. The Rev Green reminds me of a Dual Rectifier revf with the Bogner Sauce. I will say the clean channel is basically useless on the OG and Rev Green as there is a massive volume drop which was fixed in the Rev Blue and onward. The Rev Green has a more linear gain tapering on channel 2 while the OG is basically 0 to nuclear levels of gain between 0-3/10 gain levels.

In the room tones with Rev Green


In the room with Uber Ultra


Comparing the Rev Green and Uber Ultra. You can open the Uber Ultra a bit more with the density at 0 but nowhere near the openness of a Rev Green.


Full mix with Rev Green


Full Mix with Uber Ultra. I will say it fits in a mix very nicely because of that filtered EQ post production sound it has.

UU is in a different realm. Reza whispered all the right things in reinhold's ear. I would put it up against any amp out there. The only reasons I wouldnt get one is it has way too many channels, and i am wary of fuses on pcbs.

But my weirdness aside, i played it side by side with some amazing amps and it is without a boost, everything you need if you play metal
