Get the iconic plexi tones that powered rock.

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.

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

Experience Legit Tube Amp Tones, Stage and 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 within seconds.

Play Through Award-Winning Speaker Cab Emulations

Using the same Dynamic Speaker Modeling technology as Ox Amp Top Box, Lion '68 Super Lead gives you the authentic thump of six classic speaker cabinet setups, with perfectly placed studio mics and dynamic room sounds.

* GB25: (Late '60s Marshall w/ vintage Celestion 25-watt "Greenbacks")

* GB30: (Marshall "100" birch cab w/ Celestion 30-watt "Greenbacks")

* JB|GB: (Two Celestion 25-watt "Greenbacks" / Two JBL D-120 Fs

* 1x12 Electro-Voice EVM122

* 2x12 (Two-Rock Extension cab w/ Celestion G12M-65 Creambacks). (Available with UAFX mobile app.)

* 4x12 (Marshall 1960 TV cab w/ Celestion Vintage 30s). (Available with UAFX mobile app.)

Discover 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 auditioning overdrives, fuzzes, reverbs, and more.

Go Brown for the Ultimate in a Modified Super Lead

The guitar tone on Van Halen is ground zero for "hot-rodded" Super Lead tones. From the sag of a voltage-starved Super Lead amp to the split Celestion 25-watt "Greenback"/JBL D-120F 4x12 cabinet, you'll get the meaty sizzle, softer 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, and classic Variac and bias adjustments at the turn of a knob.

Expand your Sounds with MIDI

Using its rear panel USB-to-MIDI connection, Lion '68 drops straight into any programmable MIDI rig, receiving preset changes and realtime control of boosts, EQ, and more. Requires a compatible USB MIDI host, controller, or interface.

Powerful App Control with Hardwired or Bluetooth Connection
