    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.

    • 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 mic’d "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.
