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!

    Love it

    I am initially overwhelmed at all the capabilities of this plugin. But am excited to start working on crafting my own sound wit it. Big fan of EVH so this is definitely exciting seeing the brown devil on there!

    AMAZING tones!

    I am a Marshall fanatic. Always have been. Lots of plugins come close to realism and have nice grit and mid range, but nothing has quite come close to what this plugin does. It has massive depth and when compared to other marshall plugins - has a realism you just cant get elsewhere. I was hesitant to buy 'another' amp plugin after recently getting a BD Marshall bundle but I'm very happy I did. This will be my go to from now on.
