UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp

Get your hands on the iconic Plexitone that powers rock

The UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp pedal delivers the classic British amp sound made famous over the decades by legendary artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, and AC/DC*.

Lion '68 is the only pedal that faithfully recreates the tones of three different 100-watt Plexi amps. Powerful Dual-Engine processing and world-class UAD modeling deliver the gorgeous clean, aggressive breakup, and hot-rod roar of the originals.

*Artist names do not constitute an official endorsement of the UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp.


The most authentic emulation of a late 60s 100-watt Plexi head in stompbox form.
Rock out with three legendary Plexi setups: Super Lead, Super Bass, and "Brown."
- Fiery vintage amp sound with legendary mic and speaker pairings, boosts and amp mods that you can take anywhere.
- The UAFX Control mobile app allows you to download tones, customize functions, search presets, and more.


Get authentic tube amp tone on stage or in the studio. Whether you're outputting directly to FOH instead of an amp rig, or recording to a DAW, Lion '68 delivers the inspiring tone of three expertly miked 100-watt Plexi heads—the "golden unit"—with realism far surpassing any other digital modeler.

Award-winning speaker cabinet emulation
Featuring OX | Amp Top Box dynamic speaker modeling technology, Lion '68 Super Lead delivers the authentic impact of six classic speaker cabinet setups, with perfectly placed studio mics and dynamic room sound.

◆Authentic Super Lead sound
The Lion '68 faithfully reproduces the bell-like clean, aggressive kerrang, and thunderous distortion of select vintage Super Lead heads—the only "amp-in-a-box" pedal that delivers speaker-popping, rock-solid tone you'll ever love.

◆Classic Super Bass tone Are you looking for spongy attack and clean headroom without the aggressiveness?
The Super Bass tones offered by the Lion '68 are perfect for pairing with overdrive, fuzz, delay and more, and are a great representation of this great Plexi variation.

◆Superb brown sound
Van Halen's "Brown Sound" is known as the pinnacle of Super Lead tone. From the brutality of an under-volted Super Lead amp to a Celestion 25W Greenback/JBL D-120F 4x12 cabinet mix, you get the aggressive sizzle, soft mid-range attack, and clarity that has inspired generations of guitarists.**

Add a real boost
The Lion '68 takes crunch and searing lead tones even further with proven boost recipes like the Maestro EP-III preamp and Boss GE-10 10-band EQ.

Customize your sound with the UAFX Control app
The UAFX Control mobile app gives you complete access to Lion '68. Add the built-in noise gate, download custom tones, recall and archive presets, and explore generations of sound even further.

◆Details about the "Golden Units" To capture the classic Plexi sound, UA sought out the best examples with "laydown" transformers: a '68 Super Lead and a '69 Super Bass.
The "Brown" amp also uses a Variac to step down the wall power to 90 volts and rebias the amp to an extra hot state, giving it some of the most famous hot rod sounds and feel ever recorded.


*Please note
The UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp requires a 400mA isolated power supply (sold separately).
To update the UAFX firmware, you will need a computer that meets the system requirements for the UA Connect app.
