Members Rayneman Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 eek, no footswitch. Oh and when I said that I was not too keen on the features, I meant I didn't know too much about it, not that I wasn't sure if they were good. REALLY love the tone, it's really woody. Tight as hell, but it still has that snarl ... pretty hard to describe and very unique. I was playing through a fat-bottom cab and I heard their cabs are a big part of their tone. Do you really NEED the cab to go with it? I always loved my G-Flex cab and didn't wanna part ways with it just yet. Anyone know how they mix with VHTs? In that case, the UL has some great features alot of which are remotely switchable...and you can assign certain things to each channel. So if it doesn't have the footswitch, you'd really need to get one to use everything. I use my UL with either V30s (Mesa 4x12 or 2x12) or a Marshall with 2 V30s and 2 GT12-75s. IMO, it sounds great, but I can't say anything about the G-Flex. In any event, the ULs will always be sought-after, so you'd probably recoup most in not all+ of what you put into it...the only bummer is that it doesn't have the footswitch.

Members fistertain Posted July 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 Update: So I went to the guitar center today and put a deposit on it, I was so glad it was still there. I started talking to the sales guy and told him that it was a total bummer it didn't have the footswitch and he goes "well it came with the footswitch, it should be around here somewhere" so he started looking around and he found it under the cabinet!!! So it's been recently retubed, biased, has the EQ AND the footswitch. I pretty much had no chouce but to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members knucklefux Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 i prefer the CL to the UL by quite a wide margin. i have no need of three channels, and i got a good enough clean from my CL that the "but the UL has a DEDICATED clean channel" just didn't cut it for me. plus the CL is less expensive. also, i think the CL sounds better.

Members DeathMonkey Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 Wish I was getting one, but I'm cool with my Sig:X Lol, I'm so torn. The SIG X sounds so good, but the UL is just a {censored}ing monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fistertain Posted July 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 UL love fest goin on in here haha i like it it's so strange, I mainly lurk these forums and I always see a fair chunk of posters with negative views of whatever piece of gear it might be ... but it seems like there is just amazing amount of praise for VHT products in general around here ... I guess that says a lot coming from the brutally harsh HCAF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -Juggernaut- Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 Lol, I'm so torn. The SIG X sounds so good, but the UL is just a {censored}ing monster.So send me one to try out, and see which I prefer..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brick Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 I can get on the list to, Death monkey has enough VHT's for all of teh HCAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Juggernaut- Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hell I figured Megamark was nice enough to let try out two different Cameron Marshalls, teebes might be up for letting a fellow VHT fan try out the badboy UL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members empire_machine Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 i wish i would have found that deal. gotta love vht! i want another one to add to my deliverance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fistertain Posted July 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 I do feel really lucky. As weird as it sounds, I do feel bad for selling my Krank Rev 1. I know they get raped on this board ... but if it was anything it was tight, and QUIET. I hated the lead tone, it was stiff and cold, but I really did like that amp ... then again before that all I had was an Randall rg100es (the backup I'm using currently) and a Peavey XXX, so it was a step up. I'm guessing after I fiddle with the UL everything else will just be {censored}e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Juggernaut- Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 pretty much..... I've had Randall (tube and SS), Mesa, Marshall, Lee Jackson, Peavey, etc...etc... The VHT is it for me, took it to a friend who's running a {censored}load of different set-ups, and NONE of them came close to the VHT. Enjoy it, you'll love it!

Members My_Darkest_Hour Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 paid 2300 for mine with voodoo deluxe mods done. i've been gasless since. it loves JBs and pups of the like haven't played it through a cab that it didn't sound amazing through. if you can get one for that price, you could easily flip it for a small profit if you didn't like it. just remember that it will amplify your flaws in playing, but in the same right will make you a better guitarist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm back down to 5 VHTs - 2x SIG X, a UL, a Super 30 and the mighty Deliverance 120. I'm now on the hunt for a GP3 to gain mod and mate to a 2:90:2. Then I can send my UL to Trace. Then I'll get another UL to keep stock. But I also just bought the KT88 loaded Nitro that was for sale. SO I may have to wait. But anytime you wanna come to Seachickenland, feel free to come try out some maps. I love teh mapz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Juggernaut- Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 {censored} I would LOVE to come up there....alas I'm stuck in the wastelands.You guys should get booked here next time your down this way. Not that it's a great place to play, just so I could play the UL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Megatron_69 Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 I love my UL. Been using it with a Petrucci with the Air Norton and Steve's special in the bridge lately(instead of RGs with EMGs). I've been an EMG user since 91 or so but this thing sounds unreal with the passives. Really digging the passives. I haven't had amp GAS since I bought this head 6 years ago. If you like a quick/tight attack, this is your amp. I'm using it with a 1960 cab which I'd like to upgrade but last sunday I was jamming with a friend of mine on drums and it sounded amazing.
