FUCK ME!!!
this thing is far beyond awesome!
just plugged it in for the first time...the tubes are ancient, the powersupply (step down) gives only 107v (the new internal transformer hasn't arrived yet), the tubes are far underbiased and I've only scratched the surface of the tones available from this beast.....
so I've explored about 30% of what this amp is capable of, and still I'm fucking blown away!
between the presence pot (which actually is more like a sweep) and the mid knob there are sooo many usable tones, even with the mids maxed it gets never honky, seems like Reinhold found the perfect center frequency for the mid pot.
whoever said it's looser than arecto has no clue, I'd say it's about as tight as a 5150 without a boost , with higher mids and presence settings it can get tighter. a TS doesn't tighten it up as much as it does with a 6505 though
the gain is usable all the way till it's maxed....
I'm fucking stoked, this will form the new unholy trinity of studioamps for me (together with the recto and the 6505).
I'm not sure if I should post clips already, cause they wouldn't even show in the slightest how great this ap will be once it's properly biased and retubed etc (not to speak of the engineers ability to dial it in
)
EDIT:
here are some clips with various settings:
chunky riff:
Bogner doubletracked
4tracked Bogner+Bogner (different settings)
4tracked Bogner+Recto
4tracked Bogner+6505
and another quadtracked Bogner one
doubtracked and tuned to Bb:
LOW
smooth high gain (gain on 2:30)
doubletracked HG
damn, this amp really is perfect for blending with a recto or 5150, isn't it
marcus' DIs:
uber1
uber2
uber3
uber4
uber5
uber6
uber7
uber8
uber9
as I said, these are FAR from what the amp actually can do, but it's the first thing I've recorded (still with the old tubes etc)...
I set the ampknobs rather random, I wasn't really looking for the best tones, but just moved them randomly back and forth to capture a variety of tones.
...
more and much better ones to follow

But perhaps that's just because I think the Uberschall is the best sounding amp on earth.
