Hello all,

I own a Rev Blue Uberschall, and have been experimenting with it for a few months now. I came across this clip on Bogner's website:



And, for some reason or another, fell in love with that tone. It's just... bone-crunching. And I want it. I understand that he's probably using a Rev 2, but I'm sure there's a way to coax that out of the Rev Blue. I'm using a Celestion V30 and G12-75T in a 2x12 cab (basically half an Uberkab). I'm currently using a Schecter C1-FR with SD Custom Invaders (a DCGL special a few years back), which are about as hot of passive pickups as you can get. All stock tubes, biased by Bogner themselves (a most unfortunate accident necessitated that trip). Any ideas?
 
Okay, let me clarify a bit. I'm turning the presence and the middle knobs all the way down, but the amp refuses to scoop to that level. Even running an MXR 10-band EQ through the FX loop isn't helping. I'm at wit's end on this issue.

Bogners (and Ubers in particular) are not dialed in like normal amps...just use your ears. WRT to that particular clip, I would say you should focus more on cranking the bass and treble...overall though, the KEY to an Uber is getting to know how the presence and mid control interact with each other -- they absolutely DO NOT react like most other amps...these two are undoubtedly the key to dialing in the amp.

Just keep experimenting...
 
Thanks for the reply, I'll be sure to check out the presence more when it comes back from Bogner. In your guys' (more experienced) opinion, is there much EQ voicing difference between the Rev 2 and Rev Blue?
 
move your mic off center more, maybe angle it instead of going dead on...and mic both speakers. Solo them to set the eq for each mic (don't try to make them sound the same, optimize each one), then blend them. At least that is what it sounds like to me. Does it sound right in the room?
 
Yeah, I think it's a mic positioning and EQ'ing issue. Thanks for the responses.
