I have heard good things about the new orange thunderverb 200 http://www.orangeamps.com/thunderverb/

The Uber is a "one trick pony" only if you are..like me.

It has a GREAT clean channel..and it can be tamed to do classic VH (much more than any 5150)..or even fatter sounding "Flick of the switch" tone..or flat out brutality..which is what I like!

I use NO stomps!

I voted for the Ubershall because its the baddest mofo on the planet (and the Vetta wasn't in the choices)

my MK3 C300 slays Uber in the mix even if I fart in the pickups.... just sayin'

[straycat]

I voted for the Roland micro cube.............oh sorry my bad.

I think at this point it's a toss up between the Bogner and the Splawn, and since I've been in love with the Uber since I first heard it, I just may end up going with that.

My other guitar player uses a 5150. With the Uber pair up well with a 5150?

For high gain amps you should also consider an ENGL, you can find many sound samples here:

Honestly for more versitility i would go with the dual rec, why? more verstile! I can take any rec, throw a boost in front and get the same tight low end as the uber.

Trust me i have had both side by side and sold the uber without second thought. It is a great amp, but you can get a better sound out of the rec, plus way more verstile then the uber with the 3 channels and so many different modes. Not to mention cheaper as well.

I have nothing against the uber, like I said i can just get the same effect out of a rec with a booster pedal. Plus I have seen the uber just get lost in the mix when going up against the 5150 or dual.

For bottem end, I would stay away from the splawn, but if your are heart is set on it then get the Pro Mod as it will give you more of the modern and better bottem end.

I think at this point it's a toss up between the Bogner and the Splawn, and since I've been in love with the Uber since I first heard it, I just may end up going with that.

It'll destroy it..it'll also destroy a Recto..

I had all three amps.

If the Uber is what you want then get the Uber and be done with it :ROTF:

I did the same thing with the Bogner 101B, its what I wanted based on clips I heard from Bogners website. Even though I could afford one I couldnt see spending that on an amp head...bought some other cabs and amps (still have em) to hold off and I finally said eff it and got the 101B as it kept calling for me

Look on eBay to save some money...

Now here's a couple more important questions.

Which Uber is the one to get? I've been hearing about "blue revisions", so I assume there are different versions. Which is best?

Also, what's a reasonable price range for a used Uber?

[Shawn Lutz]

not sure of the version differences or market value but tere are a couple on eBay http://instruments.search.ebay.com/B...ZR4QQsacatZ619

like I said, I own a Dual Recto and an Uber. While its true the Mesa is a 3 channel head and is versatile, its also very finnicky to dial in. The Uber OTOH, is two channel but really thats mostly what I find myself using most of the time anyway. One clean and one distortion channel. Also, the Uber seems like you can't dial in a bad sound if you tried. And as Bill said before, although it is known for its high gain it actually does have a very nice clean channel too. I don't know how you guys are getting lost in a mix with an Uber, I still say it slays!
As for the different revisions of the Uber. I think the main difference is control of the effects loop which on the latest revision, blue and thats what I have, the control is on the back of the amp whereas the older ones I believe used the combination of channel and master volumes, not quite sure. They also changed the taper on the gain knob a bit. I've never heard a bad Uber though. Pricing is affected by whether it has a metal front grill or not. The metal front is nearly $200 more new. Anyway, on E-Bay I've seen them go from $2200-2600 used on average and occassionally someone will score one for $2000-2200, mostly with cloth front for that second price range. Lowest I've seen one sell for on E-Bay was about $1850 but thats a rare occurence! New pricing is around $2800 give or take $50, with metal front that is.
