Universal Audio UAD Lion '68 Super Lead Amp - Electronic Delivery

The native Universal Audio UAD Lion '68 Super Lead Amp plug-in gives you the classic British amp sounds made famous by decades of legendary artists including Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and more. Based on the award-winning UAFX pedal, the Lion '68 plug-in delivers the dead-on tones of three distinct 100-watt plexi amplifiers. Built on world-class UAD modeling, you get all the gorgeous cleans, aggressive breakup, and hot-rodded roar of the originals. Plus you'll get classic boost effects, room sound, and a collection of perfectly mic'd speaker cabs.

EXPERIENCE AUTHENTIC PLEXI TONE INSIDE YOUR DAW

The UAD Lion '68 plug-in gives you the inspiring tone and feel of three expertly miked "golden unit" 100-watt plexi amp heads — with sonic realism far beyond other plug-ins. Based on the award-winning UAFX pedal, you get all the controls that make this amp a must-have for nearly every genre inside your DAW.

PLUG IN TO LEGENDARY SUPER LEAD SOUND

Lion '68 faithfully captures the bell-like cleans, aggressive kerrang, and soaring distortion of a vintage hand-picked Super Lead head, giving you tones that jump from your speakers and electrify your nervous system.

GET CLASSIC SUPER BASS TONES

Looking for less aggression with a spongier attack and more clean headroom? Lion '68's Super Bass will get you there, with a jaw-dropping emulation of this classic plexi amp variant – a favorite amp of Jimi Hendrix.

GO BROWN FOR HOT-RODDED HEAVEN

The “brown sound” of Van Halen is ground zero for hot-rodded Super Lead tones. From the sag of a voltage-starved Super Lead amp to the mixed Celestion 25-watt "Greenback"/JBL D-120F 4x12 cabinet, you'll get the aggressive sizzle, softer midrange attack, and string-to-string definition that inspired generations of guitarists.

ADD AUTHENTIC BOOSTS

The Lion '68 plug-in lets you take your crunch and searing lead tones further with tried-and-true boost recipes — including inspiring emulations of a Maestro EP-III preamp and Boss GE-10 ten-band EQ — at the turn of a knob.
