Played an Uberschall yesterday

[\m/(00)\m/]

I went to the music store yesterday and they had an Uberschall half stack. I've played the shiva before and the other big amp (forgot the name) but never the uberschall.
The first thing I noticed about it was that even at high gains the amp didn't fuzz out. Yeah it would be very, very saturated but it didn't lose definition. With the gain at like 4 I got this awesome metal chunk tone, and a great lead tone. It has a lot of bass, and even w/ the treble turned up a lot and the midrange cranked I got this incredible metal tone. For some reason I couldn't get the clean tone to work, don't know why but I couldn't get to it. I thought it would be really, really loud...but surprisingly it wasn't. I turned the master up pretty high and even though it rattled the room...it was too loud.
Overall, I was pretty surprised by it. I understand why it's awesome for metal, but I wish I could've tried the clean tone. Very happy with it.

I also played mesa boogie mark 2 c+ at the store. It was alright, nothing spectacular in my opinion. But extremely loud!! Even for a really small combo it packed a lot of punch. Also, I don't know if it was the room but it was pretty noisy.
I wasn't very surprised by the boogie, but the uberschall was awesome.

I also played a marshall vintage modern...and I'm quite surprised by that amp. Very good amp. I might buy that if I can

Re: Played an Uberschall yesterday

I like the Uber though it's VERY bassy, and the presence is more like a huge EQ sweep than a true presence. Also, it has no true clean, but who buys an Uber for cleans? lol

I actually PREFER the Mark IIb to the IIc+, though the C+ wins for saturation, it doesn't have that huge, in your face tone. I know at least one person who owns both, and gigs with the IIb to get more old school punch.
