I'm a late bloomer, I've owned my GM for several months now and today I finally got around to exploring the Ultra channel. It was never on my priority list because I assumed it was "not in my league" as I don't play metal. I do however play progressive rock, some of which is a little heavy. So all along I've been using the clean channel for my cleans, crunch channel for my main distortion, and the lead channel for solos, and I've been satisfied. Today I started experimenting with the Ultra channel, and I love it! For example, my main distortion patch (crunch channel) has the gain at about 2-3 o'clock. I am replacing that preset with the ultra channel, gain at about 8-9 o'clock. In comparison, the Ultra channel (to my ears) has a tighter refined sound. The crunch channel sounds a little too loose/spongy. I'm also replacing my lead preset with Ultra, gain at about 10 o'clock.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
Right now I'm giving my ears a break. Later today I'll re-visit this with fresh ears and make sure I'm making the right decision.
