I just received an Ultra module via an Ebay purchase. First off, it's unbelievably noisy. The gain knob doesn't even begin to work until 10 O'clock but the amount of gain is absolutely insane. It's go so much gain, I can't even imagine a module with more gain.
Is this normal? Are the Ultra preamps super high gain and are they noisy? Comparatively, the Treadplate (brand new) is silent. Also, they seem to have the nearly the same exact voicing. When I set up the controls to be exactly the same, they have the same exact tone, except that the Ultra has four times as much gain.
What was the Ultra modeled after and are there any killer mods out there for it?
Thanks!
