Universal Audio UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp Pedal
Description
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!
