Members tws! Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 it's a 3-button 7-pin DIN footswitch. The JSX footswitch has the same exact configuration, I just wonder if it's wired different internally. If anything, the buttons will be labeled differently, no big deal.

Members MAK5 Posted October 10, 2009 Members Share Posted October 10, 2009 One quick question for you and all other ultra fans: I've heard it said that you get a basic GOOD sound with the all the tone controls set to 12:00. This is DEFINATLY not the case with mine. That would be the worst tone I could dial in. Maybe I'm alone here but I tend to need to dime the highs. I am not a big scooped out type of guy but I love a nice bright tone. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members olgluefoot Posted October 10, 2009 Members Share Posted October 10, 2009 There was a guy(I think on here) who put the bulbs on the inside of his headshell so it glowed. A little less cheesy imo. If I ever got one that would be first priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're cutting frequencies below 12 o clock, and boosting them above 12 o' clock. You have to treat it a bit differently than most EQs was the point most people are trying to makea bout that.

Members chaos2767 Posted October 10, 2009 Members Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hey Billy, that was probably the Ultra Plus that I ended up with, the one with the non working reverb and no faceplate to cover the peavey logo!!! Traded it to a guy in Escondido for his Triple XXX 212 combo with no regrets!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted October 10, 2009 Members Share Posted October 10, 2009 Congrats & HNAD, Bill! A buddy of mine scored one in mint condition just a couple of weeks ago for $400! What a steal!{censored}in' PHENOMENAL amp-to-dollar ratio on those things, I really don't know if they can be beat for the money! I've seen a few go used at my local home-away-from-home store for as low as $350! I have to pick one up one of these days, they really are awesome amps.

Just curious, is this the big difference between the ultra and ultra+, aside from the logo/headshell/knobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MAK5 Posted October 19, 2009 Members Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'm selling my ultra plus in good condition. It has four new jj6l6s and two new 12ax7EHs. Channel switch lights work, footswitch included. Awesome brutal tone! $400 shipping negotiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
