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.

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.

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!

    UAD Dream '65 Reverb Amplifier

    I think the UAD Dream '65 Reverb Amplifier sounds great. The clean sound is articulate and not to harsh or bright. There is a warmth present like the real amplifier. I have many guitar Plugins but that being said, for a clean sound, the UAD Dream '65 Reverb Amplifier is at the top of my list. I would definitely purchase this plugin again.

    Good job UAD!

    I now have Guitar Paradise, because Showtime*64 and Dream *65 won me over.

    Playing Dream*65 is incredibly inspiring, as it feels like playing a real amp. And now with Paradise, the possibilities for this amplifier are even more fantastic.

    What can I say? I dream in paradise.
