I preferred the Stealth 50w to the Iconic in the room. Took it home. Would still have it if I didn't buy that stupid pos SLO100.

You and Blake have me curious about the MT.
I'm not hearing the Recto grunginess in the clips. Uber I get, as it has a bit tigher saturation.
The MT is impressive on Z's clip, where he maxes the gain knob on the red channel. It stays tight and articulate, despite having a lot of gain. Seems like it must not have EVH/3534 red or SLO levels of gain. The blue channel has a nice range to it.

I look forward to playing one, once they're in stock around here.

I've only had a brief experience with an Uber; long ago at a GC...sounded anemic, and I know they aren't. Tube problem maybe? But, for me it's mostly reminiscent of a F/G triple, modded with an always on boost to tighten it, and another mod to give the Bass a tight response no matter where you set it. It sounds better to me than either G Triple I had, and closer to either F triple I had. But you need to keep the presence high, Treb up halfway to get the clarity in a good place. Gain on 10am is plenty, and super quiet too. Noon is about as high as I'd want to go. Drop the gain back, scoop the mids out totally and boost it, another killer tone.
Pretty crazy how good it is, for the price. The clean, sounds almost identical to my 76 Twin. Not that anyone cares about a clean. Lol

OG Uber MUST be turned up loud to come alive. Gets tighter, less saggy with volume, pretty much the opposite of some Marshalls

This one had puny gain. Probably a pre tube, or the gain pot needed cleaning.
 
Glad you're happy with it, will try one when we get them over the pond!
 
@Racerxrated did you ever get around to measuring the plate voltage on the thing? I recall in one of the clips leading up to the launch of the MT100, Mark was saying how they were looking to get big a$$ trannies in there.

Plate voltage is around 470 volts.
