From Legendary Plexi to Modern Studios: Capturing the Legacy
Since the late 1960s, the "Super Lead" and "Super Bass" heads have shaped rock, from high-voltage blues to powerful stadium shows. The UAFX Lion '68 condenses this heritage into three carefully modeled 100 W amp personalities, delivering the sparkle, musical compression, and authority that have defined generations of guitarists. No compromises, and no bulky stacks.Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for fans of blues-rock, classic rock, hard rock, and traditional heavy metal, the Lion '68 suits both ambitious beginners and demanding pros. Live, plug it directly into an FRFR speaker or use 4-cable mode with your head/cabinet. In the studio or your DAW, it provides consistent and repeatable takes, perfect for reamping, demos, and polished productions.- Use a recent shielded power supply for optimal performance.

I was not thrilled with this preamp that was too sanitized and synthetic for my taste. Maybe it's due to the lack of lamps...

Questions frequently asked
Which amps are modeled by the UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp?
Three 100 W voicings are offered: Super Lead, Super Bass, and Brown, the latter capturing the character of a modified Super Lead. The Super Bass mode features a softer attack and fuller lows.
Can the Lion '68 be used directly with an FRFR speaker?
The six built-in speaker cabinet simulations allow direct connection to an FRFR speaker via the 6.35 mm TS jack outputs.
What power supply is required for the Lion '68?
A mains power supply is not included. A minimum consumption of 400 mA is required. The UA PSU-GP1-WW is indicated as the recommended power supply.
Can the speaker simulation be disabled?
The speaker simulation can be bypassed to place the pedal in front of an amplifier. Stereo connections and the 4-cable mode use the right TS 6.35 mm input and output.
What settings are available with the UAFX app?
The UAFX mobile app allows configuring the two footswitches and adjusting the noise gate. Presets can be saved or recalled, with access to additional functions and artist presets.
