Based on the award-winning UAFX pedal, the plug-in gives you all the essential controls for getting incredible amp tone right inside your DAW.

What They Say

The Lion '68 and Dream '65 UAD guitar amp plug-ins are great to use on sessions because they perfectly capture each amp's unique tone, attack, and how they sound in a room. That attention to detail makes it easy to stay inspired!

    Nice tone for crunch and drive, but almost no clean

    This is like if you had a 2.5 watt version of the amp - it goes right into crunch/overdrive around 1- 3 on the Volume knob. Near impossible to get a useable clean sound. From around 4 on up, it just gets heavier distortion. The tone is great if that overdrive is what you're looking for. But if you want the rich clean sound of a classic Fender (modeled) amp, this doesn't work very well.

    not enough headroom

    Not sure how the engineers captured this but it distortions even with the volume all the way down. Pedal does the same thing. It needs a re-roll
