It's so easy to tell when Pete is simply being polite about a product or if he's actually enjoying it 🤣. Lee can hardly get a word in 😂
I am a tube guy, but I admit this Lion sounds great, it has that raspiness that normally you find only in tube amps.
That was F-ing awesome of you guys to shout out Pete Thorn at 38:00!!! I love your channel anyway but it's awesome to pros appreciating each other rather than ignoring or discounting others.
I just got this and the Dream 65 and for me they sound the best of any modeller emulations, especially the volume roll down! Definitely a game changer for me. When I go ampless this summer, I may only need those two Amps with no gain pedals. Great demo
Me as well. I agree. Amazing stuff
Well done guys, this the first demo I’ve heard of this pedal that sounds decent.
EytschPi42 did the first, best review of this, and he was having fun.
There's lots of videos of this pedal that sound great, where the pedal is showcased well. Maybe you need to look elsewhere? Or perhaps you are a Boss guy and just want the IR-2 to come out ahead 😉
The pedal sounds enormous with a Les Paul. Excellent demo guys.
Great demo guys, I love the pedal, I think this will be my new practise amp!
This sounds fantastic and versatile. It’s clear it’s addicting to play. Must buy one.
Rolled-off volume tone using Pete's Tele is outrageously good! 😎
That's what sold me. I watched one of James' videos talking about it, he said back in the day especially guys would roll the volume off ALL the time, and I kinda play that way myself more and more as I get older. I want to dial in a sound that has borderline too much gain, then dial the volume on the guitar back! And the fact this pedal does that so well is why I bought one!
I love my Victory Sheriff 25 Head into a 2x12 Creamback Cab but as a more portable solution and just for some practicing at home, this pedal is a real gem. I was never able to get such a authentic Plexi sound out of my Kemper (not without messing with two dozen knobs and buttons for hours)
I got the UAFX Lion and it has exceeded my expectations. It's absolutely brilliant!
Do you still feel this way- even after the honeymoon period? Any negatives yet? I'm considering either this or the Freidman IR-D. So far, every person who has the Lion has told me to go that route- but so has every person who has the IR-X or D- they both seem to be very popular with the ppl who own them.
@@stoneysdead689 I mean, it does exactly what I want it to do and it sounds great! I can't think of any negatives.
10:00 it sounds like a Marshall. I have to love it 😍
Alright, I admit that I’m impressed. The demo is certainly convincing. Good job guys.
Best Marshall pedal I’ve heard
Pete's stank face is totally authentic. I just got a Ruby and I'm pretty amazed. I want one of these now too.
Anything that keeps me from actually getting better or writing music.
I have to give it to James Santiago he really nailed it something special here!
Great demo, Wow I'll need to buy the Lion, it'll help by removing most of my gain pedals from my board.
Yes- it does sound amazing- I bought one and you guys were right- about that part. Now, let's talk about the huge part you totally left out and said almost nothing about. The fact that 1. getting this thing updated and paired with your phone- is no small task. If you don't believe me go read the comments under the reviews of this series of pedals- not just the lion, they all use the same app, and work the same way. What you're going to see are hundreds of ppl who ended up having to return them because they could not get the firmware updated and get the pedal to pair with their phone. I on the other hand- did manage it, after 4-5 days of cursing and spitting- it finally just worked. I did nothing different- it just decided to finally work- sort of. Now, I can get it to pair with my phone- sometimes- but when I do- I get 20 factory presets, and 20 by some guy named Santiago- that's it. I have no idea where all these other presets you guys are using come from- we don't have access to them in the app- I don't anyway. I've tried everything- nothing but these same presets, all by Santiago. You guys loaded one on here that had reverb in it- I can't find that anywhere. Ppl are expecting to buy this pedal and have the same experience you guys just filmed- but we're not getting it. And don't think you'll just call UA- they don't do phone calls, only emails- and those emails walk you right back through the same steps the app already walked you through. I mean whose idea was it anyway to store all your presets and settings in your phone instead of the pedal? Can you imagine a real gigging musician trying to use this? "Well folks, we were going to play our hit single but- my phone isn't working with my pedal right now."
Captain and Pete are missing the point about the Hall reverb in the Moonish Clean setting. You can load the preset, change the cab, amp and speaker settings then save as a user setting.
That's my Christmas present sorted.
I think I remember reading that the Bright Cap setting only works in the Lead/Brown modes and is most noticeable when you back off the guitar volume.
The super bass never had the Bright cap. On the super Lead (and Brown which is a super lead), the bright only works whilst the volyme of the amp (no master) is lower, essentially a treble bleed, making the clean sound more clear and biting. Many players used to clip it because they wanted a more "even" sweep on the amp volyme pot. A 2203 and 2204 are similar, very trebly unless you clip it
I’d say that bright cap is a big part of the Super Lead sound. It was a big mistake to change the original 4,7n bright cap on a Super Lead to 100p.
You guys could've gone on for an entier hour I would've watched, Pete on those two guitars are just the best, and this sounds GREAT, I'm probably gonna get me one.
One of the best Reviews/Clips 👍👍👍
I really enjoyed it 😅
Sorry for not (not yet) knowing your names (i´ll get them quickly 😉✌)
In the evening, the Man on the Guitar must have had sore muscles from his permanent grin.... while playing the UAFX Lion 😂🤣
Also enjoyed the Clip with the Boss IR-2..... really true words.... it doesn´t matter, what Model it should be (this is a Sim of a ´63 Bassman.... and this a Sim of a SLO-100, and this.... AC30, Plexi, Boogie, tralala 😜 ), it just has to sound and feel good 👍🤘😎
Big and many Thanx for your Work and Clips 👍
Best Regards from "the Pott" (Essen/Ruhrgebiet/Germany)
I'll speak under correction by my fellow more-knowledgeable posters, but I believe that a "bright cap" is a capacitor on the Volume I channel that filters out some low end of the incoming guitar signal. On a real amp it has the effect of causing more noticeable distortion at lower volumes, but the volume control (on the amp, not the guitar) has the characteristic of "popping on," i.e., the sound will be very faint at first as Volume I is turned up and then suddenly *_BANG!!!_* it's loud. Without the bright cap, the Volume I rolls on more smoothly and evenly, but the saturation is not as available until later in the potentiometer's sweep (at more volume).
That sounds glorious 😍 like pete thorn said instant Van Halen 1
Sounds good !
That sounds INCREDIBLE. I would like to win that pedal in a giveaway !!!!. Hello Capt Lee and Danish Pete!
Geesh...!!.. once again nice job sounds incredible that Les Paul sounds incredible also, what model is that thanks..👍
Amp into OX Box sounds best ❤
Can’t wait for the ampeg b15 next!
I actually liked the 1st clip. 😮
NUX plexi crunch is pretty good.
Wicked playing by Pete , made the pedal look even better
Yes!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
I’ve got a Friedman Dirty Shirley with a Browne Protein, AP Broadcay and a Strymon Riverside every tone you could ever want!
Ghost notes are well known amongst drummers creating a fair amount of dynamics on a snare drum. As a drummer watching guitar videos I can confirm this😄
I dont care what anyone says that pedal sounds phenomenal.
Which one sounds better? Yes. Also, love my Softtube Marshall emulation on the UAD Apollo.
I got this thing and it honestly sounds great
If I am not mistaken, this pedal should be able to do a pretty good emulation of the amplifier that Lemmy Kilmster of Motorhead used primarily. Any chance you guys could pass one of these over to your bass review team so we can see if it would be a good option for us four stringers who don't have the room, funds or noise suppression gear for a vintage 100w Marshall stack?
Already tried this myself. Sounds great... Got a real Super Bass from 72 to compare it to as well and does it very well.
That reverb at the end IS GORGEOUS, hopefully they can patch the App it so that you can select which reverb flavor on the amp. The Room this is cool, but I use my real Marshalls with a touch a Reverb because it just sounds wrong without it to me. And Reverb is better than, Room it just is.
I also like Lee's Rolex Submariner in the pedal shots. Nice taste in watches mate.
I recently picked up the OX cab stomp box and it absolutely blows away my other IR loaders (boss TAE, captor X and fractal FM3 dyna-cabs).
I was on the fence with this pedal but that last bit at the very end with the clean tone did me in 😅
Seriously, being able to toggle between that and a cranked high gain lead AND have a boost toggle switch is such a simple but complete setup as I can get reverb and delay from the OC stomp, send a DI signal from the stomp to a Duncan power stage and can behind me and a cab sim signal to the house.
I would love to see how this pedal works with an amp like a Marshall DSL. Could it give it a more vintage sound or different qualities?
awesome pedal imo!!
I hope UA will continue their line with a Dumble+Cab Simulation Pedal ;)
The dream has a version even the ported speaker cab
thanks, Mark for your reply. Yes I'm in the process of checking this out. If there will not be a dedicated UA Dumble-Amp+Cab-Sim-Pedal in the near future this will be the way to go. May I ask if you have experience with that ? @@markntexas8265
Soldano SLO
@@TheShaggyD.A. oh yesss - good one !!
What a great idea comparing it to an actual Marshall.. Please try showing how it reacts to pedals :)
Sounds great with the Tele: but too much raspy gain with the LP but I guess this is easily adjustable with a bit of tweaking
Bought the pedal after watching this video, and I couldn't be more happy. I especially like the way the pedal cleans up from high gain just by playing softer!
The only bad side is the app, which has horrible connection problems, but you don't really need it.
What kind of connection issues are you having? Do you mean issues getting the phone to pair with your pedal or issues getting the app to connect to the different presets online?
@@stoneysdead689 I have trouble connecting the pedal inside the app.
Every time I want to do that, I have to unpair the pedal from the bluetooth settings, restart my phone, restart the pedal, open the app, remove the pedal, then add the pedal again.
All the steps are necessary every time I want to fiddle with the settings.
And after all that it looses connection after a few minutes.
I use bluetooth a lot everyday, with my smartwatch, headphones, android auto etc, so I'm sure the problem is not my phone.
I use the app so little, I didn't even know there were other presets online :))
P.S.: The pedal is completely usable without the app.
The Brown sound should be combined with the GB/JBL cab 😊
When Pete rolls the volume back on the Tele....☺
You know everyone wants to hear a comparison with the Friedman IR-X. Let's do it!
John Nathan Cordy did this. They both sound great.
With DREAM 65 i sold Axe FX) Super pedal for my pedalboard when need to play in PA)
I guessed completely wrong on which was which in the intro, though I'm sure different mic placement on the physical amp could add the room I was hearing in the petal.
Anyway, I love UA, I use a lot of their stuff, and they've been doing some incredible stuff lately. and I agree with Pete's sentiment in the beginning, I prefer the sound of the pedal over the amp. Love it, great stuff.
Yeah, I actually thought the pedal sounded a lot better, but then, what do I know?
Wow more petals
THE AMP IS THE REALDEAL, ITS JUST RIGHT, YOU HAVE TO GET THE 100 WAT MONSTER GUYS, LOVED THE VID GUYS.
LOL_ Excuses, excuses- you guys never stop with them huh? Just admit the pedal sounded better and move on, fan boy.
the pedal was good, but not as good as the real thing.@@stoneysdead689
Do a video about Lee's desk. He talks about it all the time. Is it brown?
The box of this pedal looks to be CNC milled from a solid piece of aluminum. Looks beautiful.
Would like to see a UA version of the Roland JC120 😊
I'm surprised you guys didn't think to switch to the JBL/Greenback speaker mode with a bit of EP boost for the Brown Sound.
I have a Dream 65 and it is A M A Z I N G. I have compared it with a real Deluxe original from 1965 and the Dream did not deface. Both sounded great. I am going to buy this one as well. People from UA did a miracle for me. Great job guys.
P.S. This new pedal sound incredible good as
cool! have the dream, ruby and now the lion 68 ...the dream is an incredible pedal platform but i think the lion is incredible too and a perfect pedal platform 😊
I have the dream with 1965 strat, sounds incredible. I have a bunnch of 60’s amps as well
What are you guys hearing in the room? The resultant sound through some Full Range Monitors connected to the PC?
Did I miss it in intro? What les Paul model is that? Sounds killer through the pedal!
The Quilter Superblock UK does the Marshall sound with real tube/valve into any amp.
74 Super Lead 100w owner here. About the video's first part - the pedal destroyed the little amp. DESTROYED. Before the reveal I was like "PLEASE let that first sound be the pedal it sounds so good!". And it was. I was EXCITED about the first sound, and really uninterested in the 2nd.
I wonder what the differences between them would have been like if using the same IR. Either way, this pedal sounds wicked.
Retubing a vintage 100w is neither cheap, time efficient nor fun. And the amp always sounds different afterwards! Tempting. Although aside from using the pedal's analog I/O I don't think there is a way to reamp with it. Too bad! Maybe I have that point wrong idk.
This is the holy algorithm, bro
To defend UA's decision to have all different pedals; people identify a lot with the amps and brands they choose. They'll describe themselves as a "fender guy" or "vox guy" etc. So by making different, very recognizable versions they really are catering to the guy who has been playing marshalls since the 80s.
What if your a Wangs, Fuchs or Koch guy, lol.
@@brrblack497😂
@@brrblack497that was kochy! 😉
Suck it, Koch guy 😛
@@brrblack497 Wangs is more than likely Marshall ckt. fuchs is Dumble-ish, Fender version of UAFX pedal covers that. Koch, well I don't have any experience with their amps in person.
Eddie used the JBL120 speakers with greenbacks to get that high mid sound on Van Halen 1. On the Van Halen 2, he only used the greenbacks hence the change in sound.
I'm actually one (of a few?) that thinks VHII has a more natural sounding Marshall guitar tone, but hey - that's my opinon... 🤘
@CherryBerries2009 Well, it is more natural sounding because he used just the amps and cabinets. On VH1 and from W&CF, he used the load box method.
@@ivorharden I knew it but now I know it! Less distorted on VHII... Thanks!
I actually preferred the amp but I also like the Lion.
Same…the difference wasn’t as big as I thought it would be but the actual amp was definitely more full sounding and harmonically rich.
I have the Dream 65’ but I guessed wrong. These pedals are getting ridiculous 😅 ( Edit: It’s borderline criminal you get such a good sound so easy) 😂😳
❤nice amp I'm going to get one😮😅
Holy shit. I watched the beginning twice and said the first one was definently the amp because it sounded thicker and had a woof sound to it like a marshall does. I was wrong.
Arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I need that pedal!
You tested the bright cap on the bass amp wich haven’t got one. It doesn’t work there. I think the Brown sound is intended to go with 4x12 with the mix of Greenbacks and JBL speakers like Eddie used on the first Van Halen album.
😂🤚 got it completely wrong, I thought 1 was the amp. I definitely prefer the pedal tone to the amp you used, sounds great
I've got UA's Dream 65 and I love it - it's perfect for what I do. I have to admit I guessed these completely the wrong way 'round - I thought the second sound each time must be the pedal because it was so much brighter through headphones. So, ironically, what I thought was a classic Marshall tone was actually the Roarsome! As I've come to expect from UA, It sounds amazing 😎, but I'd have liked to have heard the amp with some of the brightness rolled off for closer match.
Could you guys put out a compilation of Pete's 3 second reviews as a Christmas bonus?
Question! Does it sound as good if you go without the cab simulation into a power amp? A seperate or the return on the effects loop on an amp like a Marshall or something?
Nice 👍
The higher frequencies are always the challenge for digital emulations and so they are here.
I’m a real amp guy but I’m impressed.
The difference is... Newer generations arnuaedbto hearing things digitally. If your an old head like me that toured for 10 years with w JCM 800 half stacks this won't hit. For, pretty much anyone else... This will nail it. For the record.... I'm buying one
Finally!!!!!!!
I would like to hear the 4-cable method on an amp -
dear friends at andertons music, big fan here. ....my main question, is how is the dynamic with this pedal? simply just turning down the volume knob how it responds/ reacts? i have been for many years (and still now) frustrated by amp simulations that sounds ok with high gain, but the tactile feeling, dynamic , of a "real" thing, is missing out totally, the sensibility to the touch passing your fingers on the strings, they little nuances in dynamics are 99% lost in amp simulations. Is this (for what i have heard) working differently? they were able to put in this missing piece?
@Andertons Music Co Tomorrow can you do this test with the UA Lion into like a 50 watt and 100 watt Marshalls And maybe a Laney and a Magnatone
INSTEAD of straight into the board?! Pretty Please?
Straight into the fender ifr or a katana artist pre-amp would be awesome too
I use the Dream 65 with the Twin setting with JBL cabs into the effects loop of a solid state Blues Cube. I'm chasing Jerry Garcia tones. Love the pedal, not a fan of UA or the Bluetooth.
ok wtf i really truely thought that fizzy high end sizzle haaad to be the pedal. That pedal is fcking glorious 🎉
Interesting.
I agree with Pete. The pedal sounded wide open and the amp sounded compressed.
how do you use this?
does it go straight into an interface like a focusrite and then into your computer and out through the speakers?
Can you use it with an actual amp like a blues junior?
I'm with you Pete, I prefer the pedal.
A great alternative to the UAFX Lion, which I bought a few days ago and which costs only half the price of the Lion, is the "Rodenberg BL800 Gold", hand-built in Germany, which sounds fantastic to my ears and comes very close to a JCM 800!
Musical greetings from Germany
Mic 🙂
Will they ever add midi to pedal maybe in a software update
I like the one amp per peddle concept. They can do a better job of each.
Excellent point Dave.
Could you use these pedals with a line six power cab on the raw mode?
I'm with Pete! I prefer the sound of the pedal. Awesome! At 10:00 it actually sounds like an old Marshall about to blow up.
Can you defeat/bypass the internal cabs?
Yes
That last thing you touched on is key for me. Everybody seems to balk at the prices of these because you'd spend so much to have all of them but I don't think that's the goal. I think you pick your favorite amp, buy that pedal and a few effects to add to the chain, and rock it as if you've just bought an amp. You're getting something like a "golden sample" Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb with all common mods applied (and toggleable) for $400. These things seem insane. I absolutely understand wishing one of these pedals had all of the amps, but do you think they'd release that at the same price?
I'd probably buy one of these if they put out one that you could update the firmware to replace the amp or something. Like those toneprint pedals. They all have the same button layout afaik
I’m a die hard vintage guy. I usually play 1965 AC-30 with a strat from the same year. I bought the dream, it’s that good it’s not even funny
The amp sounds so much better than the pedal. No contest.
Does it have the hum of the original?
There’s a certain texture in how all the chord notes sound/mesh together with the real amp that once I heard it said “if this is the pedal then they’ve done it” but alas it was the amp of course. Not knocking the Lion. It’s amazing and so practical. In certain scenarios it will be the better choice. This should not be a tubes vs modelers discussion, these are all tools to enable the more important thing: music making. Choose yours and go forth!
Mesa mark séries coming soon?
