I had my ultra since 2009 and I am using it both practice and live gigs until now I am not satisfied with the sound I am getting. My set up is Ultra+ART SLA2+ two 12s single cabs with V30s. Last night I had a chance to compare it to my MP2+Mesa 50/50 same cabs wereused, the result is like night and day. The sound from my MP2+Mesa 50/50 is so organic, the grit, not muddy even increasing the bass, the thump coming from my speakers. This is what I missed all those years.
