Universal Audio Lion '68 Super Lead Amp Pedal
Finding and unbelievable representation of this iconic sound in a pedal is certainly a huge feat. The UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp pedal 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.
Built on powerful dual-engine processing and world-class UAD modeling, Lion '68 is the only pedal that delivers the dead-on tones of three distinct 100-watt plexi amplifiers - for gorgeous cleans, aggressive breakup, and hot-rodded roar.
Experience Legit Tube Amp Tones, Stage and Studio
Whether it's replacing your amp rig and going direct to front-of-house, or recording tracks into your DAW - Lion '68 gives you the inspiring, album-ready tones of three expertly miked "golden unit" 100-watt plexi amp heads - with sonic realism far beyond other digital modelers - within seconds.
Play Through Award-Winning Speaker Cab Emulations
Using the same Dynamic Speaker Modeling technology as Ox Amp Top Box, Lion '68 Super Lead gives you the authentic thump of six classic speaker cabinet setups, with perfectly placed studio mics and dynamic room sounds.
• GB25 (Late '60s Marshall with vintage Celestion 25-watt "Greenbacks")
• GB30 (Marshall "100" birch cab with Celestion 30-watt "Greenbacks")
• JB|GB (Two Celestion 25-watt "Greenbacks" / Two JBL D-120 Fs)
• 1x12 (Electro-Voice EVM12)*
• 2x12 (Two-Rock Extension cab with Celestion G12M-65 Creambacks)*
• 4x12 (Marshall 1960 TV cab with Celestion Vintage 30s)*
*Available with UAFX Control app.
Discover Authentic Super Lead Sound
Lion '68 is the only amp-in-a-box pedal that 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 for your Pedal Platform
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 variant - perfect for auditioning overdrives, fuzzes, reverbs, and more.
Go Brown for the Ultimate in a Modified Super Lead
The guitar tone on Van Halen is ground zero for "hot-rodded" Super Lead tones. From the sag of a voltage-starved Super Lead amp to the split Celestion 25-watt "Greenback"/JBL D-120F 4x12 cabinet, you'll get the meaty sizzle, softer attack, and string-to-string definition that inspired generations of guitarists.
Add Authentic Boosts
Only Lion '68 lets you take your crunch and searing lead tones further with tried-and-true boost recipes - including a Maestro EP-III preamp, Boss GE-10 ten-band EQ, and classic Variac and bias adjustments - at the turn of a knob.
Customize your Sound with the UAFX App
