The UAFX Lion ‘68 Super Lead Amp pedal gives you the classic British amp sounds made famous by decades of legendary artists including Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and more.

Lion ‘68 is the only pedal that delivers the dead-on tones of three distinct 100-watt plexi amplifiers. Built on powerful dual-engine processing and world-class UAD modeling, you get all the gorgeous cleans, aggressive breakup, and hot-rodded roar of the originals.

Experience Legit Tube Amp Tones, from Stage to Studio

Whether it's replacing your amp rig and going direct to front-of-house, or recording tracks into your DAW, Lion '68 gives you the inspiring, album-ready tones of three expertly miked "golden unit" 100-watt plexi amp heads — with sonic realism far beyond other digital modelers.

Experience Authentic Super Lead Sound

Lion '68 is the only amp-in-a-box pedal that faithfully captures the bell-like cleans, aggressive kerrang, and soaring distortion of a vintage hand-picked Super Lead head, giving you tones that jump from your speakers and electrify your nervous system.

Get Classic Super Bass Tones for your Pedal Platform

Looking for less aggression with a spongier attack and more clean headroom? Lion '68's Super Bass will get you there, with a jaw-dropping emulation of this classic plexi variant — perfect for pairing with overdrives, fuzzes, delays, and more.

Go Brown for Hot-Rodded Heaven

The “brown sound” of Van Halen is ground zero for hot-rodded Super Lead tones. From the sag of a voltage-starved Super Lead amp to the mixed Celestion 25-watt "Greenback"/JBL D-120F 4x12 cabinet, you'll get the aggressive sizzle, softer midrange attack, and string-to-string definition that inspired generations of guitarists.

Add Authentic Boosts

Only Lion '68 lets you take your crunch and searing lead tones further with tried-and-true boost recipes — including a Maestro EP-III preamp, Boss GE-10 ten-band EQ — at the turn of a knob.

Customize your Sound with the UAFX App

Lion '68 gets even better with the UAFX Control mobile app. Add the onboard noise gate, download custom tones, recall and archive your presets, and dive deeper into the sound that spans generations.

Get the Nerdy Details on our "Golden Units"

To capture classic plexi sounds, we sought out prime specimens — a '68 Super Lead and '69 Super Bass — each bone stock with "laydown" transformers. For the "Brown" amp, we used a Variac to bring the wall power down to 90 volts and rebiased the amp extra hot, giving you the authentic sound and feel of the most famous hot-rodded sound ever recorded.

Features

  • Powerful UAFX dual-engine delivers the most authentic late-'60s British 100-watt plexiever placed into a stompbox

  • UAFX Control mobile app lets you customize footswitches, engage noise gate, recall and archive your presets, unlock additional features, download artist presets, and more
  • Timeless UA design and craftsmanship, built to last decades

Customer reviews

Overall Rating 5/5 (3 reviews)

A superb piece of kit. I'm running it through the UAFX OX Stomp into an audio interface for recording/etc. I run the same rig into the flat amp model of my Yamaha THR10C for living room sofa playing. I've used many amps, modellors, etc over the years. I finally have the sound and versatility I've wanted since the late 70s when I started playing electric guitar. I was concerned that the OX Stomp would be redundant on getting this (only had the OX a few weeks!). It's not. The cabs in the Lion are good but it can't offer the versatility of the same cabs in the OX. Anyone else wondering: Lion (or any of the other amp models) into OX... wow, bliss.

It's like having the real thing at a fraction of the price

Steve L. - 23/12/2023

After years and years of 'emulated' valve sounds, I think this might be the best yet. I've owned a number of pedals attempting to give the authentic valve amp experience and I have not heard anything quite so authentic and enjoyable to play. Does subtle Marshall as well as full on mayhem. I'm currently really enjoying getting a slightly distorted flutey tone from a Strat neck pickup - wonderful.
