Universal Audio UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp Guitar Pedal

Make your guitar roar with the UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp pedal, a remarkable device that faithfully replicates the iconic plexi tones that have powered rock music for decades. This pedal brings you the classic British amp sounds that have been immortalized by legendary artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and many more.

The Lion '68 is the only pedal on the market that delivers the precise tones of three distinct 100-watt plexi amplifiers. Leveraging powerful dual-engine processing and world-class UAD modeling, this pedal provides all the stunning cleans, aggressive breakup, and hot-rodded roar of the original amps.

This pedal is more than just a stompbox; it's the most authentic emulation of a 100-watt late-'60s plexi head ever created. It offers three legendary plexi setups - Super Lead, Super Bass, and "Brown" - providing a spectrum of inspiring tones that have shaped rock music for decades.

With the UAFX Lion '68, you can take a vintage fire-breathing amp anywhere. It comes complete with legendary mic/speaker pairings, boosts, and amp mods. Plus, with the UAFX Control mobile app, you can download curated tones, customize features, explore presets, and more.

Whether you're replacing your amp rig and going direct to front-of-house, or recording tracks into your DAW, the Lion '68 delivers album-ready tones of three expertly miked "golden unit" 100-watt plexi amp heads, offering sonic realism far beyond other digital modelers.

The Lion '68 is the only amp-in-a-box pedal that captures the bell-like cleans, aggressive kerrang, and soaring distortion of a vintage hand-picked Super Lead head. It also offers the classic Super Bass tones for a less aggressive, spongier attack with more clean headroom, perfect for pairing with overdrives, fuzzes, delays, and more.

For fans of the "brown sound" of Van Halen, the Lion '68 delivers the aggressive sizzle, softer midrange attack, and string-to-string definition that inspired generations of guitarists.

The Lion '68 also lets you take your crunch and searing lead tones further with authentic boost recipes, including a Maestro EP-III preamp and Boss GE-10 ten-band EQ. And with the UAFX Control mobile app, you can add the onboard noise gate, download custom tones, recall and archive your presets, and dive deeper into the sound that spans generations.

To capture the classic plexi sounds, we used prime specimens - a '68 Super Lead and '69 Super Bass - each bone stock with "laydown" transformers. For the "Brown" amp, we used a Variac to bring the wall power down to 90 volts and rebiased the amp extra hot, giving you the authentic sound and feel of the most famous hot-rodded sound ever recorded.
