The vmt version of the ultra is going to be really interesting, will the bypass sound be completely the same as the b7k, or will it have some of that vintage loveliness due to the era function?

Bypass will be bypassed. Just your clean sound.
Pedal on but drive off will just have the EQ, which will sound similar to B8K but perhaps with some different EQ points.
The major differences will be in the drive channel, and the old era knob only affected the drive side.
