With mobile app control and customisation, these pedals give musicians the ability to utilise the sound of authentic vintage tube amplifiers. The new stompboxes are built on powerful dual-engine processing and UAD audio modelling expertise.

The Dream ’65 Reverb Amplifier aims to emulate the essential American tube amp, featured by artists such as The Beatles, Muddy Waters and Elvis Costello. It delivers bold cleans, breakup, spring reverb, and the vibrato of the original tube amplifier used by artists for over 60 years.

Based on the iconic UK valve amp that defined the sound of the British Invasion, the Ruby ’63 Top Boost Amplifier allows musicians to get closer to the sounds of Queen, Radiohead, and U2, with chime-driven cleans, complex overdrive, and a classic vibrato.

The third stompbox, the Woodrow ’55 Instrument Amplifier, brings to life the tweed tube amplifier used by legendary artists such as Neil Young, Chuck Berry, and the Eagles, featuring their sweet cleans and grungy distortion.

These UAFX Guitar Amp Emulators include a speaker cabinet, mic and room tones derived from award-winning OX Amp Top Box, classic speaker, and cabinet combinations, as well as custom boosts and circuit mods.

This new addition to Universal Audio’s catalogue also provides exclusive artist presets and pedal customisation that are available via the UAFX Control mobile application, and with UA design and craftmanship, these devices are built to last.
