Universal Audio - UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp

With the UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp pedal, Universal Audio reinvents the famous Plexi, Marshall amp from the sixties, in a stereo version.

The Plexi is without a doubt one of the most legendary amps in rock history. Used by iconic guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Angus Young of AC/DC, this British amp has left its mark on music history. Its inimitable character, searing saturation, and ability to produce sounds both clear and powerful helped define the sound of classic rock.

In the world of guitar, technology continues to evolve to offer musicians ever more creative ways to sculpt their sound. The UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp pedal is one of those innovations that brings the legendary Plexi back to life in a completely new way.

This pedal was designed with an obsession for details and a concern for sonic realism. It is equipped with a powerful dual-motor processor that allows it to precisely recreate the sound of three 100-watt Plexi amps from the late 1960s. These amps are part of music history, and the Lion '68 allows you to have them all within walking distance.

Three Plexi Amps in one: Super Lead, Super Bass and "Brown":
The Lion '68 Super Lead Amp offers three different amp modes, each providing a unique sonic experience:

Super Lead: This mode captures the essence of Plexi Super Lead. It gives you clear, crystal-clear sounds, perfect for bright rhythm parts and sparkling solos. The aggressive crunch and dynamic distortion of this amp are within reach.

Super Bass: If you prefer a mellower sound with a spongier attack, Super Bass mode has you covered. It emulates the classic Plexi Super Bass and offers a smoother gain palette, perfect for adding effects such as overdrive and fuzz.

Modified "Brown": Iconic sounds from Van Halen's album are combined with a modified Plexi Super Lead. It's this mode that will give you that muscular sound, with a smoother attack and definition that has inspired generations of guitarists.

Unparalleled Sound Versatility:
The Lion '68 Super Lead Amp doesn't just faithfully recreate the sounds of these legendary amps. It also offers unrivaled sonic versatility thanks to a range of additional adjustments.

The pedal features renowned boosts, including a Maestro EP-III preamp, ten-band Boss GE-10 EQ, classic Variac and bias controls. These options allow you to push your crunches and saturations even further, giving you total control over your sound.

Dynamic Loudspeaker Modeling Technology:
To complete the sound experience, the Lion '68 Super Lead Amp uses the same dynamic speaker modeling technology as the Ox Amp Top Box, a device already awarded for its sound quality. This technology accurately reproduces the sound of six classic cabinet configurations, captured with carefully positioned mics and dynamic ambient sounds.

These cabinet configurations include the GB25 (late 1960s Marshall cabinet with vintage 25-watt Celestion "Greenback" speaker), the GB30 (Marshall "100" birch cabinet with 30-watt Celestion "Greenback" speaker), the JB|GB (two 25-watt Celestion Greenback speakers and two JBL D-120Fs), the 1x12 Electro-Voice EVM12, the 2x12 (Two-Rock extension cabinet with Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speaker) and the 4x12 ( Marshall 1960 TV cabinet with HP Celestion Vintage 30).
