Any info about this amp?

Original or fake? Do Ultraphonixs look like ODSs?

The Ultra Phonix is not a custom made amp per se, it is a modification performed to an already existing amplifier. From what I understand the mod is usually found on Fender amps but can be applied to certain Marshall amps as well.

The amp in the clip sounds nothing like an Ultra Phonix modified amp. It has the sonic signature of an ODS or a clone thereof.

I wrote a brief review of a Fender Dual Showman with the Ultra Phonix modification in this thread:

I received an amp from Alexander which is somewhat a derivat of the Ultraphonix type made to my needs. Mine is built into a BF Deluxe amp. But the inside is completely built up new by Alexander. Not just a small modification on an old Fender amp. Built in the same high level of quality as anything made by Alexander.
People tend to talk mostly about the ODS, SSS etc. But my favorite Dumble amps are his Ultraphonix and their derivats.

It's mine, photo is of my other ODS (real)

The clip though is of my Ultraphonix amp (built inside a Bassman), using the Overdrive section.. The Ultraphonix usually refers to the clean tone that Alexander tunes around you and your instrument, which he did... The Overdrive section (built into maybe 3 or 4 amps only) is nothing like the kind found on an ODS.

My favorite is the ODS right now, the Ultraphonix is pretty wild though.... I have a few others too :wink:

It's a nice clip. I like the song idea and the sound you're getting out of the amp.

Thank you Parker

very valuable info, actually the first clip I know of an ultraphonix, it's a lot different sounding from the ODS but quite nice indeed
