Ok have had it for a couple of days and here's where I'm at currently.
Classic channel is awesome. Great tone and you can cover a lot of ground on this channel alone. From sparkling clean to early break-up to full on crunch. Classic rockers dream.
Ultra channel not so much. Way to bright and fizzy with over the top amount of gain. Switching between channels you find the EQ doesn't follow. It would be nice if they were close tone wise, especially if your playing live.
After some research I think I will be doing the c19 bright cap mod. From what I've read this makes the Ultra channel more usable and EQ'd about the same as the classic channel.
Over all a great amp. I think with a good set of tubes and the bright cap mod it will be awesome.
Will keep you posted
