The Universal Audio UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp Emulator is a premium, dual-engine stompbox that digitally replicates the exact response, sag, and harmonic character of vintage 100-watt Marshall Plexi tube amplifier heads.

Built using UA's elite dual-processor architecture, it bypasses the need for an amplifier entirely, allowing guitarists to run classic British classic-rock crunch directly into a PA system, studio interface, or FRFR cabinet.

Three Distinct Plexi Voices

The Lion '68 accurately captures three specific variations of the classic late-60s Marshall circuit, selectable via a 3-way toggle switch:

  • Super Lead: Recreates the definitive rock-n-roll voice of a standard '68 Plexi. It delivers aggressive midrange bite, high-end cut, and explosive gain when you roll up the internal volume controls.
  • Super Bass: Emulates the smoother, rounder circuit variations favored by players like Jimi Hendrix and Malcolm Young. It features an alternate tone-stack configuration with less harsh top-end and a tighter, fat low-end response that pairs beautifully with fuzz pedals.
  • Brown: Recreates the legendary "Van Halen" signature sound. It models a Super Lead dialed in with a lowered input voltage (via a Variac transformer) and a dummy load box, resulting in a highly compressed, squishy gain structure with effortless harmonic sustain.
Iconic Cab & Speaker Pairings

To complete the direct-to-PA experience, the Lion '68 features six world-class cabinet, speaker, and microphone combinations captured using UA’s proprietary dynamic speaker modeling:

  • GB25: A vintage 1968 Marshall 4x12 cabinet loaded with 25-watt Celestion Greenbacks.
  • V30: A classic Marshall 4x12 cabinet packed with Celestion Vintage 30s for modern focus and cutting mid-range.
  • JB|GB: A boutique 2x12 blend utilizing a Celestion Greenback alongside a JBL D-120F for absolute clarity.
  • Bonus Cabinets (Unlocked via the UAFX mobile app): Includes a 1x12 EV12, a 2x12 Celestion Sidewinder, and a 4x12 Marshall cabinet with 30-watt Greenbacks.
