Yeah, I know you have access to a bunch.. Thats cool! You like the ultra over the JSX? Ever play a Bogner ecstacy?? Dont get me wrong, Im just wondering.. PV usually gets such negative remarks from so many.. love my PV, its served me well and Im sure itll be even better with a retube. I just always dreamed of a JCM800 and was able to work something out on this one..

I don't like Bogners in general. Not saying they're bad amps but their voicing doesn't work for me. Too thick. The only one I can get usable tones out of is the Shiva.
The Ultra + and the JSX sound very similar, to be honest. I like the Ultra + better because of the built-in reverb, it is a better stand-alone amp.

I gotcha! ive never been able to try any Bogners, but to me it's kinda the same with Mesa Boogie.. I always figured it would be so cool to have a Triple recto, but when Ive played them, the only Mesa I seem to really enjoy is the Stiletto. Now, granted, Ive never been able to take much time to really explore the amp and dial it in.

G, Let me ask you.. How did that clip of the amp sound?? I wish I could compare it to a stock one.. I like it, but something about it sounds odd.. that low grind almost sounds unnatural or something.. Its prob just me since its diff than what Im used to.. i just wanted to know what you think since you have heard a few JCM 8s in your day and possibly even some modded ones.. Its modded and runs 6550s instead of El34s for more low end..

Finally getting the hang of this new amp.. Strange but doesnt seem to sustain as long as my PV. But, its very sensitive to the volume on the guitar and works great with a Tubescreamer in front. I plugged a Delay in the loop and tube screamer in front and laid down some noise today... sweet!! Sounded great with the lester and AWESOME with my Kramer w/JB and it just ripped using a Duncan Custom 8!!
