Didn't know that. That's a departure from the Ultra+ then.

I love the ultra channel, I pretty much use it 70% of the time the crunch channel is great too though. When I use my Evo 7 on the ultra channel It can sound a bit thin and lack in a few areas. But with my saber with a blaze bridge it fills it up and gives me a nice thick rhythm tone, heavy palm mutes, etc. I run my presence a lot higher. Maybe try running your same crunch settings on ultra with the fat switch on and the presence and resonance up more. IMO all channels are great and usuable, but I just got a triple rec so I am in the process of comparing them side by side and the rec is in the lead.

i turned up the resonance and presence for a little while, but the crunch channel always has more body, and if you try to bring that body into the ultra via the fat switch/EQ it just gets muddy

Check me if I'm wrong, but the Ultra channel has way more gain than the crunch, right?

turn up presence and resonance, kick on fat, and cut the gain and tell me what happens. That should give you more growl and body but not as much mud.

Yeah, try that. Because I run it like this, and Ultra's pretty usable, like an extra crunch channel with a different voicing.

I never run Ultra higher than noon, and with the resonance upped and the fat switch, it sounds quite nice.

I use these settings a lot try this.

Ultra channel, FAT switch on.

pres. 6.5
res. 8
treb. 6
mid 3.5
bass 5.5
c. vol 6.5
gain 5
noise gate 7

I also use that with a ts 808 with the gain at 9 o'clock level and tone at noon.

The Ultra channel has a ridiculous amount of gain. To get a good chunky rhythm tone, I usually set it at 3.

Yeah, it's too much. I dig the Ultra as a chunky rhythm, and crunch as lead.
