UA is well known for classics and vintage recreations, but the 8110 is a brand new design, developed and road-tested in the studio just like the historical UA solid-state 1108 and 1109 units. The precision "110" series was designed to stand alone with its unique sonic character and tonal flexibility to go from ultra-clean and transparent, to warm and "crunchy" via special front-panel switchable transformer loading or "Shape" control.
