- The Fryette Pittbull Ultra Lead has been my dream amp since my early days of playing guitar. Now those sounds finally arrived at my door in a very small package! I can't believe the day is finally here!

Thank you again, I just received the module today and as good as it sounds in your review, in stereo it is so-so much more... Late 80's and early 90's sherd sounds just explode from this module. I've paired it with Bogner ecstasy in syn2. It is the best sounding leads ever heard!!! Thanks for the link! Never stop being you!
No matter how humorous you are at times, you are definitely a serious guitar player!
This is what got me to go for Synergy, I was waiting for this module and its still my favorite, many vai for its spot but not compare, thanks Avi, Fryette and Pauly!
Truly one of The Best sounding Amps of all time it takes some beating, I've had an old VHT pitbull 30 in my collection for that particular reason. Beautiful pre amp tone. John.
I had a Pitbull Ultralead from VHT built in 93 for over 25 years. It's a badass. Fryette builds killer amps.
17:11 - I know that feeling.
I loveloveLOVE all the sounds you were having the amp make. #glenniswrong, this is ABSOLUTELY the sound of "METAL!!!" for the last 30-ish years, long may it reign!
That sounds absolutely fantastic!!
I've been anxiously waiting for this module release. I have an VHT era Pitt bull UL and it's great. Very unforgiving however. It will make you play better because it's so clear even when heavily distorted. The demo videos I've seen come close to the actual sound and this demo is great. The gain stacking is what gives this amp the raw power but it's the EQ that knocks it out of the park.
Years late to the game but this video has me intrigued on the whole Synergy setup. Great walkthrough!
Excellent video (and of course playing as well)! I love the idea of the Synergy modules. Will be a great way to expand my Friedman Runt.
Fantastic demo/review as always Henning! 👍🏻👍🏻 I had the same thoughts about the eq sliders. I expected a notch in the middle! But that's ok, sounds killer.
My Pitbull is in the mail as of Friday. So Stoked!
That is one beautiful guitar! Even bad bends can't detract from that!
I still thick a little back on the gain, a touch on the drive and tap on the treble or high because I can't see the knobs 100%. Beautiful now you found it. I'm from N.Y.. Love 😁you guys
Sounds awesome!!! I’m still waiting on my BEBB and Ecstasy modules to come. Already have the OS module and a Syn1
Sounds amazing!
Great tone and plying. The T shirt is very cool.
King of the modules
I owned a Pittbull Ultralead from 2006-2016 and I miss my baby, but this module does the trick, I sorta want another!!!
@@george_richman With the same cab and a KT88 loaded VHT 2/90/2 power amp, its the same in almost every aspect that matters to me
Super cool these work with the Randall MTS gear too!
Besides the Uberschall one this is hands down my favorite module for 7+ string guitars!
The tone is so awesome even the dog had to peek in...
I still haven't got my Synergy yet, for me I am thinking the Syn-50. That is my goal. I love my current amp. My current amp the Mesa Nomad 100. Which I run at 50 watts. I am very happy with the 3 channels, plus EQ for solo boost. I use the fx loop for the Boss NS-2 and Empress Para EQ. It is super quiet. Plus, I lowered the V1&V2 tubes with 12ay7 tubes. I use the Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 to tap a line out to my stereo fx and use stereo pair of Orange Micro Terrors. I just got my Two Notes Torpedo Cab M, which I currently use a H&K Red box for the other stereo image when going amp less. I plan to get a 2nd Two Notes Torpedo Cab M in the near future. I tested wet/dry/wet with the analog speaker sim at the Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 for dry to mixer. H&K Red Box for left and Two Notes Torpedo Cab M for the right. All 3 signals were sent to a mixer. It actually sounded great with the analog speaker sims and the Two Notes Torpedo Cab M IR. I just can't wait till I can get the 2nd unit. I was convinced to get the Two Notes Torpedo Cab M seeing your stereo dual Two Notes Torpedo Cab M video. But, damn that Fryette Ultra lead sounds great. I know I want the Soldano module, but need a module with super clean and mid/low gain channels to complement the Soldano modules. What would you recommend? I wonder if the Vai module plus the Soldano would do the trick?
This and the Diezel VH4 module make the cool high gain tones that aren't super common and damn expensive
Love the PRS.
That sweet synergy system just keeps getting betterer with every step! Adding the pitbull doesn’t that make 6 dogs in the house?
28:37, funny you should say that and release this video the same day that Ola England literally ate balls on his show!
👌 nice. I have a question. Can you activate /disable the fxloop on the amp with midi? Thanks again
So many good Synergy modules. I really wish there was a great comparison on the root core tones of some of the modules and how they compare to each other. Hear that Henning? Hint, hint. @EytschPi4
For instance, how do the Deliverance and Pitbull U-L compare in their base tone. Both are modern preamps with fantastic features. But how do they overlap and differ? Or, from a different perspective, is one sort of a souped up, modernized JCM 800 type amp? Is the other something else?
This is my first module while I wait for an uberschall to add to the 50w head. I, too, always wanted a pitbull but could never afford one, and now id spend 3k for a 20 some year old UL... i got the head for 1200 on a labor day sale plus 380 for the module, 1600 and now my dual rec and 50w 5150iii are in the dog house. Master volume is like at 3 for full band practices, this thing cuts through the mix and every note is articulate. Goes toe to toe with a peavey invective for chuggy rythm, but with zero feedback or noise. Leads cut over his no problem. Not enough reviews talk about it, but the effects loop is amazing on this thing, you throw delay or reverb on it and it's jaw dropping.
hey man, how would you compare the Uberschall module against the fryette ? I just got my syn 1 preamp with an uberschal module and on my favorite setting (red channel, no boost, pre eq on uppun position) it sounds great but theres way too much fizz and my noise gate can't shut them... Is the fryette better with similar tones ?
@@zondarx7racer in going to warn you mine shipped with a blown preamp tube, that's probably what you're experiencing it seems to be pretty common. If you bought it new they do like a 3 month warranty on the tubes, I put some spare mesa tubes in mine and it's amazing but that is probably your issue
@@beautague9163 oh fuck ! Seriously ?? But mine is working btw.. how to be sure to have to remplace the tubes ? My problem is exactly what we can see in the video of spectresoundstudios - the Bogner Uberschall module for Synergy at 3:23min...
Man you scares me
@@thibautanglade3804 if it's feedback even while the volume is off on the guitar its a bad tube. Other wise, there's an internal 3 way switch on the back of the board, you can try the different positions on that and see if you get a sound you like more
@@beautague9163 ok i will try that ! Thank you
Which is the name of the track in the beginning from EJT?
6:22 The truest thing ever spoke about Synergy and boutique amplifiers, dude, I have a similar story, late nineties, I am in Bellevue, WA - American Music Store, I am 16, I play three different VHTs, OMG 😱
Wow Henning that was a very inspiring solo during the Jam track!🎸
It is so weird. Around 30 years ago (I will not write 28 because I think it is closer to 28). I live in eastern Canada, and there was a German amp that I never heard before, and after all this time I never heard another amp that had a sound so intense. It was totally unique. It could not have been more than a 50 watts, and they where selling it for 3-4000$ CDN, and there was nothing in the box . Obviously it was out of my league at 20 years, but I told myself, one day I will find what was that amp, because obviously I don't remember the brand. Everyone that was there that day was all wondering how could something like that could have that sound. Love German stuff, especially Volkswagen and HP ^^
Sounds exactly how I remember the Pitbull Ultra-Lead: So damn tight that it felt awful for anything that isn't high gain metal rhythm!
Great Demo! Besides the Pittbull sounding great, the effects you brought in around the 11:00 mark are beautiful. Please share what effects unit you used.
Just the built in delay and reverb from the UA Ox
That track in the beginning is my favourite from EJT.
the pitbull amp was used on Slipknot's Iowa album, Mick's tone
This truly is an amazing sounding module, videos only capture a bit of its true depth and range. I dig it, Ultra Lead is no joke. Listen to those reverb and delay soaked lead lines, wow. Synergy is just amazing, best thing for guitar since the amp was created. OH yeah, Paully, I should think that headless guitar would fit better being narrow and that is where it should go...god I hate those things! .
I'm sold, wow! Even though I feel like this is the only module I'd need, this would be a waste on me. But I'm thinking of buying it as a gift with the SYN50 head, so my question is what module do you think would be the best compliment to this?
totally depends on what sounds you like...
Would absolutely love a Mesa Boogie Mark V and Two Rock modules
Two Rock makes Dumble clones: get the Synergy OS module.
I have the OS, I’m hoping for a SSS MODULE
@@mannymejia7972 The SSS was just a very loud and clean amp. If I recall correctly, it was made from a silverface Fender Twin preamp and an Ampeg bass power amp (including the chassis).
Can't believe it's been a whole year now. Time flies like a rocket.
Second-anniversary bump for you, mate 🎉
I remember this Amp from BEFORE it was called Fryette. It was called VHT. And they were badass!
I remember that too but those were in the Nice stuff room, I stayed out if there cause I couldn’t (still can’t) afford that stuff. that Pitbull has some great bite 🤘🏽
I miss my Pitbull Classic combo.
The wall of amps it's still there! ;)
Sounds killer, what was the reverb used sound lucious?
Effects from the Ox
I'm confused - what are synergy modules? Freyette built this synergy amp? Who owns the Pitbull? Wait.. what??
when are you doing the Fryette Deliverance Review ???
NEVERMIND Thank YOU
Come on HP, "add a little delay and verb"?? Cut back on the grease. The verb from the ox is sufficient.
Anyway, this as well as the sister module will eventually find a home with it's brethren OS, Dirty Shirley, VH4, and Ecstasy in either Syn-1, Syn-2, or Syn-30 combo ....
Terrific informational and entertaining demonstration. You definitely pegged it by penning the from Scream to Cream term. Everything Fryette does is golden. And your dogs running through was a definite plus. I’d love to learn those sweet legato runs and arpeggios, any suggestions?
ahm… practice legato and arpeggios?
@@EytschPi42 🤠
Anybody who likes the articulation and chime of Rhodes or crunch of DeGarmo/Wilton will love this module. Then of course there's the dark side...
What reverb pedal were you using?
the built in FX from the UA Ox
Holy tits, Batman! If I ever get a tube amp it will probably be a Synergy. The versatility you get with those damn modules is insane. Also a straight up 5150 would probably be fine, too.
That Fryette sounds amazing. This video also shows perfectly, that there are sounds you can only get from actual tube amps. Which makes this broke-ass guy here sad. XD
I can get an awesome hi-gain Metal tone out of modelling and digital amps or plugins like Bias FX. But the way this thing reacts to your playing, is just so tube-amp-y, just beautiful.
Where’s Kiarra?
Yeeeeeaaaah, I saw that troll face after "something better". I've played that very model. I'm convinced there isn't something better.
If you want an equalizer you go to Boss GE-7
Hi, greetings from North East England. Please help - should I get the Syn-1 or the Syn-30 head? Many thanks in advance for your response. Love your channel :-)
I‘d get the Syn30
Where did you get that shirt? Classic shirt.
mrgug.com ...link is under the video
Fryette sounds great...but that's put me off Paul Reed Smith now...I can't believe they would fit the wrong notes in a guitar of that quality. Shame :P
Ugh. Guitar is constantly flat against the backing track, not to mention the bends. But the tone is heavenly. And your guitar playing is heavily underrated.
Dude I'm going to get an addblocker just for youtube, the amount of adds they put on videos is insane lately. I don't mind watching an add or 2 before a video, but I get them every 3 damn minutes now man. I know you make your money here, but this is just deterring me from watching any monetized video at all.
there should only be one or two left in the video, they put 10 in there and I edit them out.
@@EytschPi42 I came back after pausing the video for a few hours because of a work meeting, had 2 within 5 minutes of starting it again at the +- 60% mark. I really don't mind you making your income, but man youtube is grinding my gears :P
Pay for YT Premium worth every cent
Want
So funny!
That may be very late to say but, i'm sure that you can get very very good & nice tones from this amp but certainly not the tones you dialed in!
Tastes vary
Ich möchte die Zeit haben um so spielen zu lernen
I heard some Rush Bastille Day tone there somewhere for a minute
Does anyone know of a CZcams video, which discusses the irritating breed of 'musician', that will purchase guitar after guitar....and run it through their one amp... (which is a solid state piece of crap)....surely it's best not to keep purchasing guitars, until you own a decent valve amp....hey peeps?......love your Channel Henning ;-)
Hmmm... You know there are some incredible sounding solid state amps that are also incredibly versatile right? Take something like even an inexpensive Blackstar TVP/Silverline which is incredibly versatile and is comparable to valve amps, combine it with playing a Tele vs a shredder fitted with Nailbombs and the experience and result is completely different.
@@theauthenticsteve There's a reason Henning has a large collection of valve amps man....and not solid state.........it should actually be against the law, to gig with a transistor amp LOL
Bark! Scratch! Bark!
@@nankleflank5645 The reason is he is paid to advertise. If you really believe that I feel sorry for you. My son plays with a transistor amp and other guitarists are always approaching him about his tone and gear even though the other guitarists in his bands use tube amps including a Kraken. In a review of one of their recent album releases the reviewer specifically mentioned a solo thinking it was the other guitarist and this made my son extremely happy because even though he didn't get the credit, it was actually him. His amp has been thrown around and beat and never missed a beat, and never needs new tubes unlike his band members amps that need constant repairs and often fail on the road. His amp can also be used with any backline so he never needs to take a cab on the road.
I also find it funny anyone would think that way today considering the prevelance of AxeFX, Helix and Kemper which I see bands both big and small using on the road so often now and many of run straight to the PA and more often than not those bands sound better than all the others live.
@@theauthenticsteve If you could afford a valve amp, you'd be on-board matey :-)
animals in the middle!
It's all nice if I can buy Tabletop or rack to "activate" Module from sweetwater and not wait fucking 4 months for it.What crap is that. If they make this things in USA please tell me where is manufacture I'll drive myself and pick one. It's not like they making rocket to go on Venus. DO me a favor...call sweetwater and ask when is available..THEY DON'T KNOW. Now I can plug my Friedman BEBB in my fridge I guess till Tabletop arrives. You are cool,like the channel.Nothing personal here.
I think the problem is that they need parts from china and shipping has all been delayed this year,
@@EytschPi42Is there anything in this world left that is not from China..You go to dentist,take a bite for denture and wait 3 months till arrives from China,lol.
Bad notes.....microtonal jazz notes and playing I says.
“Stupid mid scooped metal sound” -typicall butt rock boomer. Since about 2010, metal sounds have had predominantly mid boosts, not cuts
You seem to have missed that "mid scooped" serves as an adjective to specify the type of metal sound. Obviously, there are other metal sounds.
I guess this counts as a poor man's Ultra Lead.
It’s great and all, but nothing like a REAL UL.
@@Krypt666Norway true but what other amp manufacturer even comes close?
@@guidedbyechoes Wizard amps, I would say.
@@viniciusbertucci wizards are the poor man's ultralead or the ultralead is the poor man's wizard?
@@guidedbyechoes I don't think any of them categorize as a "poor man" considering both are very pricey. On many forums you'll see people giving Wizard the edge over the Fryette. Rezamatix has an extensive experience with both, so you can ask him.
I find watching you very creepy.
why would you write that?
