yeah man, it's such a tricky beast...
remember all my clips and how I liked the amp?
there was always one thing I really didn't like about the amp...kinda brittle and harsh high mids that coulsn't be dialed out.
I approached the amp similar to all the other amps...kinda set everything around noon and then dip the mids slightly....
THAT gave a dull sounding tone though, so I had to raise the treble a bit...which resulted in harsh and brittle high mids....
Also did the bass have to be below 10:00-11:00 or it'd get really boomy...tricky bitch that thing.
Know what the problem was?
Irgnore the fact that the middle pot is labeled "middle", just like the "presence" control on this amp is not a "presence", the "middle" is not a "middle" control either..it's a "treble" knob....ehile the knob labeled "treble" is really closer to a presence control...
set the "middle" slightly above 12:00 and you can use as much bass as you want without the amp getting boomy and as much treble as you want without it getting fizzy....
I was kinda shying away from setting the middle above 12:00, cause that's usually not what I am doing for metal....but you really have to work this amp differently....
In fact it sounds FANTASTIC with all the dials (presence, treb, mid, bass, gain) set to 6 (which is also what the manual recommends, d'oh).
Pretty evil, huh?
I've just been reamping some tracks through the Uber and the Recto....and while I always loved the Uber it never got much use, cause it always seemed a tiny bit too fizzy or too boomy....
now with the 66666 settings it just KILLED the recto...no fizz, no boomyness...nothing...
with the "mid" control at 6 I could even raise the bass knob to 3:00 without it getting boomy (mids below 12:00 and it'll get boomy with the bass past 10:00!!)
if you own an Uber...PLEASE keep the mids above 12:00....it might look weird, but it really is not a rypical "mid" knob.
set everything to 6 like the manual recommends and it'll crush almost any amp (not the Earforce of course
).
sorry for the confused spelling etc...I had a bottle of red
