Vintage-amp glory in a box: Save $50 on Universal Audio UAFX stereo amp emulation pedals at Sweetwater's Black Friday sale

"This is scary good," declared guitar aficionado Ben Harper, and he should know. As the owner of several Dumble amps, the Grammy-winning world music artist was blown away by this emulation of the rare Dumble Overdrive Special. UA modeled myriad vintage examples to create the Enigmatic, making it the perfect way to get vintage D-style tones without spending six figures. And with overdrive voicings, tone stack options and a trio of studio-grade cabinet/microphone combinations onboard, it's sure to satisfy all your tonal needs.

This emulation of the most recorded 1x12 combo of all time — the 1965 Fender Deluxe reverb — delivers big clean tones, deep vibrato and springy reverb. With three speaker options and three amp versions — including one that emulates SRV's favored tone — the Dream captures the sound of a tube amp recorded in a live room using UA's mic, cab and Dynamic Room Modeling technology.

Based on a Vox AC30 platform, the Ruby ’63 Top Boost is a spot-on emulation of the amp favored by the Beatles, U2, Johnny Marr, Brian May and countless other guitarists. It has three speaker and amp options, including a Brilliant setting that models the original “top boost” circuit’s extra tube to deliver more gain and treble. The Normal setting is based on a ’61 non-top-boost amplifier, while Vibrato cops the vibrato channel of a ’63 top-boost amplifier.

Designed to deliver American tweed amp tones, the Woodrow ’55 Instrument Amplifier takes you straight to the 1950s by virtue of its two channels, which are internally jumpered to facilitate blending the brighter more aggressive instrument channel with the cleaner-, bassier-sounding mic channel. Go from the warm vintage sound of a 1x12 tweed combo mic’d with a Neumann 67 condenser to the muscular rock tones of a Marshall 4x12 mic’d with a Sennheiser MD 421, or cop a more hi-fi attitude with an emulation of a Fender 4x10 Bassman mic’d with a Shure SM-57.

UA's Knuckles ’92 Rev F Dual Rec Amplifier serves up the fire-breathing tones of the 1992 Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, the versatile amp that made believers of metalheads, punks and rockers alike. Its Green, Orange, and Red channel voicings deliver the signature tight and ultra-saturated gain tones of the original, along with a range of full-bodied clean tones. Six mic-cabinet configurations, onboard TubeScreamer-style overdrive, power-tube options and solid-state or tube rectification put the full tonal arsenal of this California powerhouse on your pedalboard.

Lion '68 offers three models from a stable of 1968 100-watt Marshalls: the Super Lead, Super Bass, and Brown, an exclusive setting that emulates a Super Lead with a Variac auto-transformer to achieve Eddie Van Halen's famed “brown sound.” Six cabinet/speaker combinations give you loads of ways to shape your tone, delivering convincing emulations with the attitude, pureness of tone and touch responsiveness of vintage Marshalls.
