Description
The native 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.
Key Benefits
- Get the world's most authentic emulation of a late-'60s plexi amp in your DAW — no Apollo required
- Rock out with three legendary plexi setups — Super Lead, Super Bass, and "Brown" — for decades of inspiring tones
- Professionally capture studio amp tones, complete with classic mic/speaker pairings that sound just like famous recordings
- Get tried-and-true boost recipes including emulations of a Maestro EP-III preamp and Boss GE-10 EQ at the turn of a knob**
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.**
Explore Famous Mic & Speaker Pairings
UAD Lion '68 gives you six classic speaker cabinet setups, as heard on generations of hits, with perfectly placed studio mics and dynamic room sounds.
