I play 80% Judas Priest (all years) and 10% Queensryche (all years) as a working/paying hobby and 10% noodling and original stuff. I have used the ULTRA since concept and have spent countess hours dialing it in and it sounds amazing and love it. I use it with a midi mate in controller mode 5 presets and 5 I/A. FOH
I went to the AXF II and MFC and took the time to translate the Ultra patches to AFX II. They sound great but i keep going back to my ULTRA because they translate better and sound amazing for the style I am in.
I use to use my ENGL SE 670....and went back and forth between it and the ULTRA..
Finally after dialing it in, which took a while, i have not looked back....
Now the AFX II is haunting me and the ULTRA is telling me how can you get better than me?
I know it took me months of dialing in the ULTRA and in the back of my mine I keep telling myself the AFX II will take time as the ULTRA did.
But why.. I am 99% in love with my ULTRA. This coming from someone who has been playing guitar for 34 years, has 25 top notch axes, has 2 full (refrigerator) rack gear,(1 Marshall,1 Mesa) A Silver Jubilee head and Cab, Mesa Mark V head and cab and the latest ENGL SE 670 and cab.
I played a set last night with the ENGL set up and It sounded good and I was OK with it. Shut it down and turned on the ULTRA for the second set and.....The skies parted......
So now what....
