So I love the Euro Uber model, easy to get a killer tone and does largely what I expect when I think of an Uberschall.
I know they’re finicky amps to dial in, and Fractal evened out some of the tapers of the pots to more sensible behaviours.
I compared a few different Uberschall emulations today, and usually I can get Fractal tones very much in line with the real deal or other emulations. Today it was the only one that just sounded way different no matter what.
A friend of mine has a Rev Green Uberschall, and I could match his tone with the Helix emulation pretty closely to that with minimal effort (same IR, I matched the tone by ear without knowing his settings):
I’m not saying it’s the best emulation, but if Helix’s Rev Green emulation can get that close to a real Uberschall I think it’s a fair assumption it’s in the ballpark. STL and Neural’s new emulations also seem pretty similar to the Helix one, but in my video FM-3 seems a bit on its own. If you check all my other Fractal videos, they’re always bang on the money, so I’m just curious if I’m missing something here.
Likewise, the other 3 emulations have the peculiar inductor based presence behaviour very evident - Fractal’s seems to behave a bit more typically to other amps presence circuits. The only way I’d be able to match the brightness of the others would be to dive deep into advanced parameters but I’d only like to do that once I’m certain I’m not missing something obvious.
Does anyone here have a real Uberschall (ideally Rev Green but Blue is fine) and could help me dial in some tones that match 1:1?
I’m happy with the tones I can get from Euro Uber and i’m not disputing that it sounds good, but I’d be even happier still if I know to create tones that are totally and verifiably 1:1 to the real deal. I’ve been able to match tones for Rectifiers, EVH5150, Peavey 5150, Friedmans, Marshall’s, Mark Series Mesa’s etc so I’d really like to get a similar outcome with the Uber model.
