Members Rufus Leaking Posted December 15, 2005 Members Share Posted December 15, 2005 Originally posted by branjispad define how the herbert is heavier than the uber. I've got both and I would have to say the Uber is heavier then the Herbert. The Herbert is definitely capable of similar ball-shaking low end grind, but the Uber is clearer and cuts better when it comes to pummeling chug. Lead tones, clean tones and heavy rock tones are a different story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BOOGIE666 Posted December 15, 2005 Members Share Posted December 15, 2005 I would say the amp with the most and thickest gain is the 3 channel dual and tripple rectos. When you turn the gain on 10 in the modern mode, I have yet to hear a amp that competes with the shear amount of gain, whether or not you consider it useable or not. For shear low end, and overall low low dark tone I would give it to the ubershall by a long shot. And for the most ball shaking palm mute effect I give it to the powerball, again nothing I have ever tryed even compares to the palm mute of a powerball if you run the depth boost and bass high.

Members BOOGIE666 Posted December 15, 2005 Members Share Posted December 15, 2005 a 5150 for sheer amounts of gain and chug vs amps like powerballs, rectos, ubers, cobra, herberts is just a {censored}ing joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mhenson42 Posted December 15, 2005 Members Share Posted December 15, 2005 Can someone please give me a quick comparison of the Uber and the Powerball. I really want to get a powerball from everything I've read about it, however, if it is too similar to my Uber (see above) then what's the point...I'll just get another guitar.

Members TheGreatGreen Posted December 15, 2005 Members Share Posted December 15, 2005 Originally posted by 50calexplorer I don't know about heaviest, but I always thought Crowbar's tone on "Sonic Excess in it's Purest Form" was just heavy. They used Randall solid states so that gets my vote. +1 i've never heard palm mutes like the ones on that album anywhere else. every one of them sounds like it could level a building.

Members branjispad Posted December 15, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 15, 2005 anyone who said 5150 is pretty lame and has never A/B'ed it with a boutique amp. my uber ate the 5150 and {censored} it out like it wasn't even there. the 5150 is so thin and sterline and frankly {censored}ing sucks. that's why i got rid of it.

Members BOOGIE666 Posted December 15, 2005 Members Share Posted December 15, 2005 uber is alot darker and more low mids, lows are just everywhere kind of like the wall of thickness like the recto vibe. Alot tighter than a recto with more upper mids on tap if you want that. But overall its still a very squishy / loose amp. The powerball is MUCH brighter, WAY tighter and just more focused, they gain isnt as saturated or as overkill like on a recto or a uber. Both the uber and powerball are both very "heavy" lol and agressive amps, but they are very very different animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned an Engl and the 5150 sounded thicker and heavier, and had more gain. Mine isn't sterile or thin, and frankly, it doesn't {censored}ing suck.
