I do stand by my RJM Amp Gizmo. Very useful!! and Yes the Ultra Lead is a unforgiving amp, but that just adds to the reward. If you can play on an Ultra Lead then you can REALLY play, if you know what I mean. The joy of not hiding behind an amp with lots of gain is just one of the many reasons this amp will make smile. Don't get me wrong, this amp has lots of gain, but it's very different than most amps, in the way that it comes on. It's a very clean distortion. Clarity out the habingeranoodelator!! I think of the distortion on it as a distorted clean channel. I guess really you just have to experience one to know what I am talking about.
The Ultra Lead has a very distinct tone. And I looooooove it.
It reminds me of a super uber retarded hopped-up ultra fandanglemaded tight brown sound. In a way.
And I'm tellin you, pinch harmonics on this thing SCREAMS!!! Its just an awesome amp.
With all this being said, I still would like to try an Invader 100 just to see what al hoopla is about. Though, I do gather from Shaman(think that was his name) that the Invader is very close a Triple Rectifier tone wise. Sooo, I dunno.
