Experience Legit Tube Amp Tones in your DAW

The UAD Dream '65 plug-in perfectly captures a "golden unit" 1965 reverb combo amp, famously used on stages and in studios across six decades of hits — from pop, rock, and country to funk, soul and more. 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.

Play Through Famous Spring Reverb & Vibrato 

Tube-driven spring reverb and vibrato are essential to the guitar tones you've heard on nearly every classic record. From soul to surf, funk to punk, blues to bebop — UAD Dream ‘65 is the only plug-in that faithfully delivers the two most important guitar amp effects you need to craft immersive, inspiring guitar parts.

Get the Sound of a Modded Studio Amp

Take your vintage tone a step further with custom mods and legendary drive sounds made famous by artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Steve Lukather. With two iconic mods and a clean boost built in, UAD Dream '65 offers even more variations of a classic amp – just like the pros used back in the day.

Explore Classic Mic & Speaker Pairings

UAD Dream ‘65 gives you six classic speaker cabinet setups, with perfectly placed studio mics and dynamic room sounds.

Find Your Sound Fast with Expert Presets

Dial in classic tones fast with an expertly-curated collection of presets across musical genres. You can use these presets to start recording quickly, or dial in the perfect sound for your playing style.

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!

    Good Sounds, but No Mic Positioning

    Everything is fine, except that there is no way to change the positioning of the mic(s), or their distance.

    some good sounds, but not great yet.

    some good sounds, bad audio levels and many sounds saturate / overdrive faster than expect

    Hope they improve it

    Nice amp, but...

    There's a 60Hz hum that can't be turned off. It's very quiet, but if you heavily layer guitars, it can eventually become audible. I hope there'll be an update someday with the option to turn it off.
