Vintage American Muscle for Your Modern Recordings

Our UAD Showtime ’64 Tube Amp plug-in lets you experience the sound that defined early rock, pop, surf, and soul. From Dick Dale’s thundering leads to the sparkling chords of the Beach Boys, the amp that was built to fill stadiums and concert halls is now available right in your DAW.*

Grab on to a Legendary Tone Stack and Vibrato

With the entire tube-driven circuit at your fingertips, immerse your tracks in the bell-like cleans and lush vibrato heard on iconic tracks “Misirlou” and “Pipeline.” Or drive up the volume to hear the crunch, bloom, and breakup that inspired generations of guitarists to push the boundaries.

Classic Mics and Speaker Cabinet You Can Take Anywhere

With its classic speaker cabinet, perfectly-placed studio mics, and room sounds, UAD Showtime ’64 gives you album-quality tones anywhere — whether you’re reamping DI tracks, playing live through your audio interface, or just jamming out in your studio.

What They Say

A clean guitar amplifier plug-in with lots of headroom, so it works great with pedals. I’m loving UAD Showtime ’64 Tube Amp.

Curt Chambers

Alicia Keys, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z

This gives me that exact feeling of the original amp. UAD Showtime ’64 Tube Amp is a beautiful recreation.

Chris Zane

St. Lucia, Boâ, The Walkmen

I produce a lot of stuff with clean and mid-drive guitars. It’s tricky to get real-sounding amp breakup in the box. This is the best I've heard.
