Get the British Invasion Tones that Inspired Generations

Experience British Tube Amp Tones, Stage and Studio

Whether it's replacing your amp rig and going direct to front-of-house on stage, or recording tracks into your DAW — Ruby '63 gives you the inspiring, album‑ready tones of an expertly miked "golden unit" vintage tube combo, within seconds.

Explore Normal, Brilliant, and Vibrato Channels

Ruby '63 is the only stompbox that gives you the Normal, Brilliant, and Vibrato channels from the original amp — so you can fly to Ireland, London, or Liverpool with the flip of a switch. From mellow to chime to grind, it's all here.

Push the Limit with Classic Boosts

Ruby '63 packs classic boosts, right onboard. Namely, the legendary '60s Dallas Rangemaster germanium treble booster and the preamp of a '70s Maestro EP-3 tape delay. Just flip the Boost switch for searing layered tones that put IR-based amp modelers in the bin***.

Expand your Sounds with MIDI

Using its rear panel USB-to-MIDI connection, Ruby '63 drops straight into any programmable MIDI rig, receiving preset changes and realtime control of boosts, EQ, and more*.
