    Another Ultra vs. Standard question...

    No difference in effect or amp sim quality whatsoever. Think of the ultra as a standard with the capacity to run 'more of the same'. There are a number of 'ultra only' effects but this does not apply to the amp sims. A full comparison can be foung on the wiki
