Bogner Uber Ultra el34 100w vs KT88 150w

[@benpotter4905]

Wow both sound massive with the uberkab

[@CS-ru4xd]

Does your OCD kick in if the cab doesn't match the head? lol. They both sound fantastic! Can't wait for mine to finally arrive! I ordered the EL34 version.

[@RedB4Black]

You might think that! lol Up until recently though I had 3 Fryette cabs and 4 Wizard cabs...so I shook things up a little.

[@tonefreak3403]

They both sound really good! How do you like the new Uber? 🤘

[@RedB4Black]

Definitely one of may favorites. Killer metal amp.

[@mtlgtr-q6k]

So you have had every version of the ultra, if you had to pick one which would it be

[@RedB4Black]

I've only had the el34 and KT88. The 6l6 video on my page belongs to a friend...I've never actually played it so I can't say. He had the KT88 version as well though and said they were pretty similar. I traded my KT88 to a friend as I thought it pretty much sounded the same as the el34. Any difference when set the same can be dialed out with minor adjustments. I'd say get whichever one you can find first because it's a killer amp!

[@zbassillini]

Thank you for good and honest feedback

[@leib109]

Yep, these sound pretty similar. Plus the KT88s can be used in the EL34 version.

[@chuajsjs2853]

cool vids !! i prefer the El34 !! maybe due to the higher mid bite? the KT88 has super lowend without the mid bite.... smoother mids there but the KT88 sound so much cleaner, i guess if only for the KT88s ya gotta tune up its presence and treble to getta bit more edge going on....?

[@RedB4Black]

Honestly, in the room, they are pretty close. The KT88s give it a slightly bigger low end, and the el34s a little more upper mids. You can actually run KT88s in the el34 amp too (can't run el34s in the KT88 model due to high PV)

Hi, Matt!! For tight chuggs, which do you prefer? UU or Mesa mark iv?

[@RedB4Black]

Uber Ultra all day!

[@davej8045]

Ultra or Wizard?, seems you have had a few variations of both. I emailed Wizard a while ago about a speaker cabinet and they never replied so there’s not much chance of me ordering a significantly more expensive amplifier from them now.

[@RedB4Black]

Wizards are my favorite by far. Try emailing again… he’s a one man show and may have overlooked your email

[@davej8045]

@@RedB4Black Cool, thanks. I was thinking about the MTL-MCll Hybrid before but the Ultra just showed up this morning. It will realistically be a while before I’ve dialed it in and compared/contrasted with everything else. I was trying to pare things down to make room for the Bogner but ended up keeping everything else.

[@SSStinger6]

can that Stealth there hang with your higher end amps?

[@RedB4Black]

I would choose most of the others over it, but it's still a killer amp. Definitely a lot of bang for your buck!

[@guitarwilly81]

front loaded bogner?

[@RedB4Black]

Yes. Front loaded uberkab with v30/T75s
