First impressions: The Uber module is almost perfect. It’s thunderous but tight. It has decent on-board EQ options, though I like it just fine in the “standard” configuration. I prefer the Blue channel to the Red channel; Red has far too much gain. Everything starts squealing if the gain knob is set higher than 9 o clock-ish. If the Red channel had a more usable range on the gain control, it would be perfect. At least I feel that way—even if it did have a more usable range, I’d still be cranking that hog for some good old fashion chugs.I finally caved and ordered a Synergy setup: a SYN-2, along with the Uber and Powerball modules. They should arrive in time for the weekend.
The Powerball module is a nice companion piece. The Blue channel can do a decent clean tone if I coil-split and the Red channel is responsive and articulate. I do like the more mid-scooped voice on this one.
I run an OD boost 99% of the time (modeler or physical amp), but I actually preferred the modules without a boost pedal.
