Based on the award-winning UAFX pedal, you get all the controls that make this amp a must-have for nearly every genre inside your DAW.

Lion '68 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
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 amp variant – a favorite amp of Jimi Hendrix.

Marshall sound without hesitation
If you turn up the gain, you can travel back in time to those days. I was surprised by the fat and glittering sound, so much so that I lost track of time and played it over and over again.

Amazing
This Lion plugin is amazing.
For starters, I thought running it as an effect plugin in my DAW would cause a problem with latency. There is no problem here. I'm using an M1 Studio, Logic, 44.1k and 64 sample buffer and 2.7ms output (10.7ms round trip). I cannot hear any latency at all. Sounds just like it's plugged in as a unison effect. So I can play it and listen in my headphones (or FRFR) and it sounds like a live amp. For the haters, yes, it takes some adjustment compared to unison plugins. If you are A/B'ing Lion and the Plexi Super Lead on the same input channel, you will have to do some inconvenient muting and switching of input monitoring. It would be nice if Lion could be plugged into the unison slot, but it's not a deal breaker.
This plugin sounds different than the other Marshall unison plugins, including the Plexi Super Lead 1969. To my ears, the Lion sounds MUCH better. The Plexi has this cry or wine that I've never really enjoyed or learned how to mange. The Plexi 1969 also sounds really bright/harsh and distorted on almost any setting.
I feel bad for those that bought the pedal and had to buy this "again". Doesn't seem fair to me. Maybe some sort of discount would have been reasonable? With that said, if you buy at the right time or with the right bundle, you really don't have that much to complain about. You can get this plugin for a price that is not only reasonable, but an absolute steal considering what you get.
When you start playing this plugin, it's immediately pleasing. This amp has an amazing characteristic where it has "clear" distortion. It's hard to explain, but it's bright, but not harsh. Warm, but not muddy. Distorted, but not over compressed. You can easily sound like some of your favorite guitar players, but even better, you can take that same tone or something similar and add it to your style of playing and you get something perfect for you. We are so fortunate that we live in a time where you can have access to Lion, Ruby and Dream 65 for a small fraction of the cost of owing one of these physical amps. Plus the software doesn't fill up your room with huge amps. LOL
The only thing I do not like about his plugin is not a problem with Lion itself, but all UA amp plugins (including unison). I'd like to be able to change the "Power soak" or final master volume of each factory preset so the volumes match. As I scroll through presets, some are too quiet and some jump out as super ear piercing loud. Some are set so high, they clip the Console output. Without changing the sound or any other setting for a factory preset, I'd like to change and save an output level (or the power soak) of a factory preset. I'd like have the option to easily reset it back to default too. I'm sure it could be done.
Yeah, I'm a bit of a UA fanboy, but if this amp was not great, I would not give it a great review. It is truly great! Just buy it!B. Wardwell

Quo vadis UAD ... new guitar plugins native
The new native guitar plugins are smart, especially the Lions "Marshall" one. However, why should I buy such a plugin if a cannot use it with Apollo in unison mode. For me, all this does not make sense, unless it is true that UAD gradually attempts in the long run to leave the Apollo hardware line. If this, sadly, should be the case, they betray their confident hardware customers. Hope, that early enough they wake up and recognise, where this journey leads to finally. Besides that ... I like the new guitar plug-ins. I would buy two of the new guitar plugins if they were Apollo-enabled (and not only native). But it does not make sense for me to buy them without this ability. I love Apollo , but the native versions are just a (sometimes very) conveniant add on to it.

What a beast of an amp!
The Lion is roaring if needed or gives you a gentle lady tone. The playability is great and it really feels like a real amp. The presets are a great starting point as well. I wish the Lion could be played without a DAW. And I miss a decent tuner. But these points are no reason not to give 5 stars.
