I have 3 different UA pedals: the Lion, Dream, and Woodrow. I would use the plugins too, but really these plugins should be offered free of charge to those who already spent $350+ per each individual pedal. Or at the very least, offer some discount for the plugin version after verifying registration of the pedal version.
People who bought a Deco hardware pedal don't get a free copy of the Deco plugin. If I buy the plugin, do I get the hardware for free or at a discount?
@@RealJohnnyHash I don't think it's a fair argument to say if you bought a relatively cheap plugin that you should get the hardware version for free. But in this case, many people, myself included, paid a lot for the hardware version already, and it's not a stretch to say we wouldn't mind using the plugin version too -- if UA rewarded us for our loyalty by offering it at a discounted rate (or free). Neural DSP is allowing owners of their popular plugins to now use them on their Quad Cortex free of charge.
@@chrislink73 Do you think they hired programmers to code the plugin for free? Are you even respectful of their work? If you can't afford the plugin after buying the hardware then clock in more hours at work. Don't buy coffee for a week. Stop asking for handouts when things come out. You're making musicians look bad.
I’ve been hoping for years that UAD would do a Deluxe reverb. Seeing this, I was excited that I could use it for live tracking and get rid of my tube amp. Sadly it’s native-only?! Please explain why😭😭😭😭😭 @UAD
What?! Only native?? This is a plugin that BEGS for unison DSP based live tracking in Console. That's a shame really. Would have bought them all if they could run in Console.
Oh, really, yeah you are right. I don't have a UAD DSP device. So I was glad, and surprised, when this was released for Native. but, yes, absolutely expected a Unison DSP version would be available too. Because of all things, amp plugins (or vocal chains), would be best run on the DSP.
They dont give you Unison version, unison version = UAFX pedal and more money ;). Or I am paranoid and the problem is that these plugins are too CPU hungry. I just tried Lion VST, and it took 1/3 my CPU power @64 samples latency. Same as Sound City plugin - Native only and CPU draining.
@@lunar5soundpainting Yes. I suppose that could me, but I suspect you might be right about the pedal sales. There's plenty of stock of those out there. The older Fender unison was DSP heavy, but it still ran on DSP. I don't think the newer would be massively heavier. Maybe equivalent to that older Fender Deluxe modelling plugin plus an additional reverb plugin. But I'd be surprised if they couldn't be optimised to run. Amp modelling isn't the heaviest audio task, not compared to a complex reverb or granular processor.
@@compucorder64 I think they found out that their pedals are massively succesfull. Just imagine everyone bought Apollo audio interface with DSP + 6 UAFX plugins for the same prize of only 3 HW UAFX boxes. I think it is better to cash you out for UAFX pedal, then again for plugin, and then again in the future thirdtime for DSP version for some new platform like QuadCortex ;). No Unison, it coulbetoo cheap. We'll see ;)
My primary use case for this plugin would have been in console, colouring a 0 latency record monitored guitar signal. Cannot for the life of me understand why UAD decided to released it native only - perhaps a little slight of hand to avoid cannibalisation of the pedal market?
If UAD has to produce its best amp models as native because their DSP is no longer powerful enough, that is surely an existential threat to their sales
@@stevejones1966 If that’s true I’d imagine it’s likely the case that gen 2 interfaces will be able to handle these newer plugins so the option to run in console will be a carrot dangled in front of current gen 1 Apollo owners to upgrade.
I’m bummed it’s only offered in a Native version, and not a UAD or even Unison version for those of us who have an Apollo interface. That said, I purchased the Lion and I think it sounds pretty good.
Why no dsp ? What's the point int in just another amp some plugin ? Also, could be nice to at least have the reverb and trem as a separate plug to add to a pre-recorded guitar (one I've tracked with dsp)
What input volume should be on the interface (Volt 476P) and input volume on the plug in? I'm trying all different possible combinations but i'm always getting some strange digital distortion high frequencies. The signal it's not clipping at any point, it's very low actually, but this digital amp breaking high frequencies is very apparent. It's not a normal valve amp like break up, very digital and ugly. I have all the 3 amp plug ins, it's much more apparent in the Dream 65 than the in the Lion or Ruby. Anyone? Thank you
Sounds nothing like that on my system. Whisper quiet as long as the system volume is kept somewhat responsible. And that is with the output knob in the plugin turned all the way up. RME Babyface Pro FS into Cubase 13 and Ableton 12, btw. Have similar results with most clean tones on plugins (e.g., Tone King, NAM). Input is at zero (i.e., twelve o'clock position). Would really like to buy and use these plugins, but the demos have been pure frustration for me. Ah, yes, and I use a Fender Stratocaster with Fat 60s custom shop pickups. That guitar sounds amazing on a Boss Katana.
Is there a plugin that emulates the reverb sound used? Would love to have that as well. It doesn’t seem like you can EQ the reverb on this plugin which is a feature I’d def want to have
I tried it on "Clean Verb" 1:54 and mine sounds all distorted with lots of gain. I have the input level on the Volt 276 at zero. Not sure what's going on with that.
So after selling my big amps I have a twin reverb and an ac30 and they’re still just too loud to use. As I’m not an old guy who doesn’t play with anyone else I’m thinking it’s time to keep a little champ amp and get rid of the reminding big ones as these just sound so good these days. Amazing
Why no Unison..? Great sound, I just bought Ultimate 13 for a really good price and this was included. But with audible latency even at 64ms on an older i9 iMac this is useless for being played live.
These three plugins sounds not bad but there are super high latency when I used as real time dubbing even I set the buffer time to 32 and turned on the low latency monitoring in Logic Pro 11. Moreover in Cubase 14 also got this issue. I have try the amp simulator of other brand’s amp simulator such as nerual DSP Tone King II. There is nearly no latency even my buffer size set to 128. Moreover the plugin TopLine also got this problem. Luckily there is no such problem in those old UADx plugins such as API Strip. I hope there will be an update version later for these 4 plugins 🙏
I’m happy this finally happened but… UA Pedal owners should get the Plugin that they own for free… or at least a code for heavy discount. A $400 pedal investment should include a golden ticket to open the Unison version of the plugin in Luna for free… and also control the pedal directly from the DAW!
@@s.u.i.rBeing able to save your settings in the plug-in would be an advantage when working in a DAW. It is less straightforward with the pedal if you have to recall your pedal setting with the UA app.
I have to say I agree with offering the plug-in free or heavily discounted for those who purchased the pedal. Line 6 practically gives Native away to those who purchased a hardware unit.
I have one, throw it in front of an FRFR and you basically get a Fender Deluxe Reverb for around $700 total. Sounds better than Fender's digital version of the amp as well, as I have owned both.
With the new Apollos you can forget about more UAD2 releases I think. Processing power is probably not enough also. I hope to be proven wrong by UA. EDIT: I own the Dream pedal and UA is asking for 163€ for the plugin which is ridiculous. Obvious super hard pass for me.
in the manual it says that it's calibrated for apollo and bolt interfaces, whatever that means. but unison definitely feels better to play though I doubt this type of plugin will run on Apollo chips, it uses about 10% of my m1 cpu
While the Dream 65 plugin sounds promising, it's disappointing that it's not available as a Unison plugin. As a longtime UA customer, having invested thousands in your ecosystem, this feels like a missed opportunity for those of us who rely on Unison for authentic, low-latency performance. I understand the market is shifting, but it would be great if UA could continue supporting its most dedicated users who have built their studios around your hardware and software. Bridging that gap would keep your loyal community engaged while reaching new audiences.
These sound great, but the price is far, far too high. The target market for these plugins know better. $149 for one amp model? For example, the AXE-FX III has more than 290 amp models. 290 amps at $149 would make the AXE-FX III $43,210.
Hey UA, I'm curious what the optimal input level is for this. I've heard that different plugins are designed with different optimal input levels in mind.
Found the official documentation: "The plug-in input level is calibrated so that a Hi-Z input without added preamp gain provides the proper operating levels when IN is set to the default center position (HI-Z). When using the plug-in on hotter signals (such as tracks that have already been preamplified), reduce the IN knob towards the minimum (LINE) setting. Reducing this knob can also help get cleaner tones when using hotter instrument signals, such as those produced by humbucking and/or active guitar pickups. You can also adjust the knob for more gain to get a range of creative tones. Tip: The IN level does not change after it is set for a plug-in instance. This allows you to set the input level once, and then freely browse presets."
Man these plugins are hungry for CPU. Just tried the demo, I think i would much rather pay a bit more, pick up a used dream pedal and record that!? Plus you would have it to use standalone. I would literally have to record guitar parts in their own project to realistically use the plugin on an i7 macbook pro.
@UniversalAudio i saw in the video the settings and i replicate the same on the pedal. Guitar straight to the HI-Z input without any addition of gain: the plugin sounds more clean.
This is not nice with costumers. I bought the 3 pedals, and the sound is the same. At least UAD should give the plugins for free for people who has the pedals.
Or, you can get a Tonex pedal for just over the price of this one pedal. Or you can get NAM software, which is just as good or even better Than the Tonex, for free. I always liked your Peach Guitar UA-cams Jack, how come you've gone to work for the dark side?
I hate every single one of the UAD guitar sims and I cannot believe anybody else is getting actual guitar tones worth hearing out of them. I've owned a dozen great tube amps by now and those things sound like @$$. I've got a Fractal & a Kemper too . . . and they blow every one of these UAD "amps" out of the water. I WISH they were good. It would simplify so many sessions. We use them as "throw away guide tracks" when we run too many drum mics at once but really? That's all I ever successfully used them for. And before you try telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about, you should know that I run two Apollos with two OCTOs and I own over 60 UAD plugins . . . as well as the 6176. I am not trolling. I've been supporting this company for 25 years pretty strongly.
@@spaceoddity9160 How do you "access" them to play live thru them? We have an Apollo 8 that has a pair of inputs on the front that would be great but the problem is, I don't think UA allows for them to be used outside of the Console application, which uses only UA sims. If anybody knows a way around this, I'm game to learn.
@@indivisibleman on live situations I bring my clarett and my laptop, run all the plugins in the box and send it to the mixer/ PA sistem. I always try to avoid plugins that consume large amounts of CPU, Neural works for me with only 32 sample rate but plugins like verve machines give me 15ms of latency
UAD is always like that. The only way to buy them is when they do deep sales on bundles. At the moment it's 199 for a Custom 2 bundle. But give it time, or Black Friday and can probably get two for 99. They often hike the price before a deep sale too, I guess to report deeper percentage discounts. So, could go back to 99 on sale soon.
Who bought the Eventide H9 Max will get H9 Plugins Bundle for free. just for reference. If I Buy UAFX the same hardware model then I can get the plugin for free, I think I'll buy the hardware. BTW, making a computer editor for UAFX Pedals like the plugin also make the users happy.
$163 for a single amp plug-in? Seriously? It does not sound that much better than a clean app from a neural DSP plug-in or a line 6 helix. I don’t understand their price point?
I love UAD and their products, but this plugin is a joke compared to the real thing. I sold my Voxbox after comparing the hardware and plugin versions and could barely tell a difference. I wouldn't even bother doing that with this plugin-I'll pick it out in a blind test within seconds. The tone here sounds digital-lacking warmth, too much high end, and thin. Sure, it's better than a DI, but that's not the point. Search UA-cam for "65 deluxe amp tone" and then tell me this even comes close.
I have 3 different UA pedals: the Lion, Dream, and Woodrow.

So, could go back to 99 on sale soon.
Who bought the Eventide H9 Max will get H9 Plugins Bundle for free. just for reference. If I Buy UAFX the same hardware model then I can get the plugin for free, I think I'll buy the hardware. BTW, making a computer editor for UAFX Pedals like the plugin also make the users happy.
$163 for a single amp plug-in? Seriously? It does not sound that much better than a clean app from a neural DSP plug-in or a line 6 helix. I don’t understand their price point?
You can get it for $40 with the “UAD select” deal
Way too expensive!!
I love UAD and their products, but this plugin is a joke compared to the real thing. I sold my Voxbox after comparing the hardware and plugin versions and could barely tell a difference. I wouldn't even bother doing that with this plugin-I'll pick it out in a blind test within seconds. The tone here sounds digital-lacking warmth, too much high end, and thin. Sure, it's better than a DI, but that's not the point. Search UA-cam for "65 deluxe amp tone" and then tell me this even comes close.
The don't work on reaper!!!!!!!!!
They sure do!
@UniversalAudio no they dont. The vst2 works only on luna and the vst3 is not working properly . Hire better programmers 🤷
@@marcodelledonne2118 Ours is VST3 and worked perfectly in Reaper.
Maybe if you never heard a tube amp....? Sounds crap to me (sorry)
Too expensive
