Want to plug into some legendary British crunch? If so, plug into the Universal Audio UAFX Lion ’68 Super Lead Amp pedal. It serves up one of the most realistic emulations of the legendary Super Lead we’ve ever heard. Moreover, this stompbox is really three amps in one: a Super Lead, a Super Bass, and the coveted Variac’d “brown” sound that erupted in the late 1970s. You also get three speaker options. You’ll be blown away at how closely the Lion re-creates the sound of a cranked tube amp recorded in a live room, thanks to UA’s unparalleled mic, cab, and Dynamic Room Modeling technology. Further, like all the pedals in UA’s UAFX series, the Lion allows you to bypass your amplifier’s preamp when the pedal is engaged via the special “4-cable” mode. If you’re craving greater control, the Lion sports Bluetooth and MIDI compatibility to connect to Universal Audio’s UAFX app to edit hidden parameters, access artist presets, and expand your control. Finally, the Lion ’68 Super Lead also boasts state-of-the-art analog and digital circuitry, analog dry-through, and a high-quality buffered bypass.
Three amplifier modes
The Lion '68 Super Lead Amp comes loaded with three different amp versions for a wealth of sonic possibilities. You not only get stock versions of the legendary Super Lead and Super Bass, but also the high-octane Variac'd tone harnessed by a certain trailblazing guitarist.
Lead: The definitive 1968 Super Lead sound. The original amplifier employed a bright cap in its preamp for an ear-grabbing aggressive bite.
Bass: The 1968 Super Bass sound. The original amplifier didn't include the bright cap, making it a great choice for bassists and guitarists alike.
Brown: The Variac'd "brown" sound. This is the hot-rodded hard rock tone that was born in the late '70s and ruled in the '80s.
Switch up your speakers
Part of the Universal Audio UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp’s magic is found in the dead-on speaker/cab emulations, bolstered by Universal Audio’s Dynamic Room Modeling technology. The Lion comes loaded with three cab/mic/speaker settings, seamlessly matched to the three different amplifier modes. Guitarists looking to cover a wide sonic range will love experimenting with the different speaker and amp pairings; plus, when registering the Lion with Universal Audio, you get three more free cab sims to play with!
4-cable mode offers powerful channel switching
Each pedal in Universal Audio's UAFX series features a special "4-cable" mode accessible via the UAFX Control app, allowing you to bypass your amp's preamp when the pedal is engaged for incredibly realistic tube-style tones. By hooking your pedal up to both your effects loop send/return and the front of amp input, you can instantly switch between your amp's stock tone and your UAFX pedal routed straight into the power amp, effectively adding two extra channels to your amplifier. What's more, Universal Audio designed this feature with multiple pedal setups in mind — you can connect any number of UAFX pedals in this configuration for multichannel madness!
