The UAD Lion '68 plug-in brings you the revered tone of late-‘60s plexi amps with astonishing realism, directly in your DAW. Offering the sound of three expertly miked “golden unit” 100-watt plexi amp heads, it’s built on UA’s world-class modelling, originally designed for the award-winning UAFX pedal. Perfect for everything from classic rock to metal and beyond, this plug-in captures every tonal detail, so you can achieve the powerful, vintage tones that made these amps iconic across decades of recorded music.
The Lion '68 faithfully recreates the sonic signature of a vintage Super Lead amp head, renowned for its bold, bell-like cleans and explosive overdrive. With authentic “kerrang” and powerful sustain, this setup brings a raw energy to your playing that translates beautifully in your recordings. Perfect for lead work or layered rhythm tracks, the Super Lead setup in Lion '68 gives you that unmistakable plexi edge — full of character and sonic depth that will make your tracks stand out.
If you’re after the smoother, more bass-forward tones of the plexi family, Lion '68’s Super Bass setup brings a refined, clean sound with spongier attack and extra headroom. Known for its punch and clarity, the Super Bass configuration works beautifully for a variety of genres, with full, rounded tones that highlight the warmth of the amp’s low-end response. Inspired by the sound of Hendrix’s preferred Super Bass amp, this setup is ideal for players looking to balance the boldness of plexi tones with added low-end richness.
Inspired by Van Halen’s famed “brown sound,” Lion '68’s Brown setting offers a hot-rodded Super Lead tone with a saggy, voltage-starved character for a more nuanced, aggressive sound. The Brown setup combines a mixed cabinet of Celestion 25-watt Greenbacks and JBL D-120Fs to achieve a distinctive sizzle and smooth midrange attack. Known for its versatility, the Brown sound is perfect for high-gain playing, from searing leads to full-bodied rhythm, adding a vintage rawness that is both powerful and responsive.
The Lion '68 plug-in lets you push your tone further with classic boost emulations like the Maestro EP-III preamp and Boss GE-10 ten-band EQ. These boosts bring extra sustain, body, and brightness to your sound, perfect for adding grit and energy to solos or filling out rhythm parts. Whether you’re after the subtle tonal enhancement of a tape preamp or the sharper edge of a graphic EQ, these onboard boosts provide vintage-inspired options to shape your sound even further.
The Lion '68 plug-in comes equipped with a curated selection of presets, covering tones for rock, metal, pop, country, and beyond. These presets provide instant, pro-grade tones to start recording immediately, giving you a jumpstart on classic plexi sound. Use them as-is for a quick solution, or customise the settings to craft a tone that suits your unique playing style. Each preset offers a great starting point to explore the full range of the Lion '68’s legendary tones.
The Lion '68 plug-in features six classic speaker cabinet setups with carefully chosen mic placements that capture the nuanced details of a late-’60s plexi. Whether you’re aiming for the punchy sound of Celestion Greenbacks or the clarity of JBL D-120Fs, each cabinet setup is mic’d to recreate the famous tones used on countless records. These configurations allow you to experiment with studio-grade sound, adding a natural room feel or direct mic clarity that enhances your recordings with professional, timeless tones.
"UAD guitar amp plugins respond to my inputs as naturally as a tube amp. All I have to do is tune up and hit record." - Jack Griffiths
