Each of the presets in UAD Enigmatic ’82 was dialed in by pros who have actually played through the real thing. Whether you’re tracking blues, country, or something that doesn’t have a name yet, you’ll discover settings to inspire every session.

What They Say

UAD Enigmatic '82 lets me bring my stage sound to my recordings and back again. Clean tones, beautiful crunch — it makes every guitar sound like the best version of itself.

Brian Robert Jones

Paramore, Vampire Weekend

UAD Enigmatic ‘82 is incredibly responsive and dynamic — not something you expect from a virtual amp. Paired with the 4x12 cab and ribbon mic off-axis, I get clear, chimey tones. The included FX chain is the cherry on top.

Butch Walker

(Fall Out Boy, Train, Green Day)

UA has gotten crazy good at bringing “unobtanium” gear to the rest of us. The UAD Enigmatic ‘82 is a quick, easy way into that touch-sensitive, blooming harmonic territory. It’s ‘special’ indeed.

    Dumble On

    I have used this one recently and I like it better than the Deluxe , or Vox etc. The others are very good but this pne is another level of control and sound.

    The '82 overdrive sound I've been looking for

    I cannot authoritatively say how accurately this plugin replicates the Dumble tone, since I have never seen or played the real amplifier. However, I can confidently say that this is my favorite plugin of all that I’ve owned, and it has exactly what I’ve been searching for so long. I am deeply impressed by its flexibility, tweaking options, and customizability for matching it to my instrument. This is a plugin where every preset already sounds great. Thank you for this opportunity!

    Awesome

    I was a little skeptical about buying this as I own the Enigmatic pedal, and thought I might get it automatically (like I did with the other four I have).

    The plugin is fantastic though, very tweakable and with some superb presets. I must say it is an improvement on some of the other amp plugins I own. Overall it sounds awesome, and that’s all you need to know 👍
