Try to get more boutique builders. I loved seeing Benson Amps on your channel and now in your store. Just a few brands, King Tone, Cornerstone, Chase Bliss, Spaceman Effects, Kasleder, Echo Fix, Crazy Tube Circuits, Hudson Electronics, Jam Pedals. Theres so many amazing small companies out there that i wish could have the outlet of a giant like Sweetwater. I know a lot of those companies are too small of an operation to be able to sustain a business like Sweetwater, but it would be cool to have a boutique section on your page where the stock is limited, but still an option. Then u guys would truly be a one stop shop

I could listen to James talk about circuit nuances all day long. These pedals are like love letters to the history of tone.

This is hardly a promo for a pedal, it's a masterclass in amps

James Santiago knows his stuff. I am glad they did all the nuances of amp, sag, mics, cabs etc. from someone who is expert in the Plexi, because as they said, it truly is a rabbit hole.

UA is killing it

This is quite an impressive pedal from UAFX, James Santiago sharing technical details which entailed creating this gem. Purchased UAFX Golden reverb pedal few years ago. Best reverb effect pedal for studio applications. IMHO

Love hearing Nick talk about his days at Marshall. This pedal is gonna sell like hot cakes!

applause, that is dedication… perhaps one feature should be included in future updates, the amp plugged into 220/230 V most of the “plexi”sounds that got under our skin came from 220V powered amps. From personal experience I sadly must report that “The” plexi sound can not come from a 120V outlet.

UA YES!!!! Thank you!!! So nice!! This is not just another Amp on a Pedal. Thank you So much!!

I'm more impressed with the cleans than the driven sounds - and they sound great! All other models/profiles I've heard are blown to the weeds by this - it's the first one that genuinely sounds convincing.

James Santiago plays very well !

Finally! The one I’ve been waiting for 😊

Probably the first and only pedal that catches the essence of the whole plexi-experience, the warmth, complexity, sag, clarity and singing 3D-qualities. Also the real cab and micing part, and correct speakers. Most other alternatives are only scratching the surface I feel. The Bogner la grange was really good but had problems with the switching. Great job! Im buying it for going direct!

No one better than Nick Bowcott to conduct this video. Great choice! I do hope they make a JCM800 though.

@Sweetwater; I see your B.K. Butler Tube Driver at :57! They’re KILLER. You got the old two knob, I’m jealous, lol. 👏

Been wishing for this pedal since they launched the first three. Honestly it’s the power amp emulation part that really sells it for me. I’ve been loving my ToneX captures because it feels like I can really hear those power tubes compressing. This pedal has that same feeling. I don’t need another digital amp, but I can’t help myself. I gotta have this one.

I have the Tonex and now the Lion. The Lion wins hands down the Tonex just doesn't take pedals the way the Lion does and once you turn your EQ or tweak anything on a capture it doesn't do what the real amp would do but the Lion does. Lastly digital vs analog. Lion all day.

Will sound great with the OX Stomp too 😍

I own a Marshall code 100. I love that amp. It can get all kinds of convincing Marshall models. The cool thing is, you can mix and match all the heads, cabinets and effects Marshall has made over decades. The plexi, purple plexi, and silver jubilee are 3 of my favorites.

Greatest piece of marketing ever !! 👍

Luv this stuff.

I finally picked up a Lion this week, and it really does sound incredibly close to the real thing. Way beyond the Axe-FX 2 days and such. But as someone who has 4 UAFX pedals, it’s kind of a bummer how much functionality is inaccessible without using the app. The Mac desktop OS version of the UAFX app is no longer working (I guess they’ve given up on supporting that option), and the iOS version is extremely annoying and doesn’t pair reliably, even after years and years of development. Once UA eventually stops supporting that mobile app, all of those presets and features will be inaccessible. It’s so much money to spend knowing that the product’s lifespan is likely to be quite short even in comparison to earlier, self-contained digital modelers.

I hope that there will be mesa boogie or matchless version of this

How come I can’t view this pedal on your website with the link you provided in the description?

I have the Dream 65 and use it at church every Sunday. I am thinking about the Lion. What I do not understand is why the BlueTooth on all of these units is so buggy. It is quite possible to just act like it does not have it at all, but it is such a nice pedal it is a shame that they cannot make it connect and respond any better. I understand that the Lion has a lot of switches on the phone app that cannot be accessed via the knobs only. This is going to be a glaring issue for many users. I do love my Dream 65 in spite of these issues.

Sweet! :)

Please for the love of god make a full modeling unit! I want everything in one box. I’ll pay! Take my money!

The only thing possibly missing is having stereo be 2 different speakers on the same cab! That way you can send one to L side of the PA and one to R to get the ultimate FOH tone! I Guess I COULD buy two 😅

Jim Marshall Tattoo is so awesome. Cheers ❤😊❤

When’s this coming out?

So, how do we get the Celestion / EV blended cab into the Ox’s?

I like the one I just got a lot. Only complaint I have is that when the stored preset is cleanish, and I switch it on with that preset, the switching noise is strange (almost like it is trying to use the live settings and then finally loads the preset, but the time and distortion there is noticeable and annoying).

@sweetwater great video. Do you think Duane allman tunes can be gotten from this pedal and what would that setup be?

This pedal seems awesome but no guess where I’m now starting to wonder about is let’s say I wanted every amp pedal that UA makes, that would easily reach $2000 after taxes… now that the ToneX which sounds absolutely amazing and it’s only $400ish and I can download captures of amazing amps that people make right off the app, is it really worth it to go the UA route?

So it was a little unclear, is the '68 basketweave -stripped of tolex, the GB25 setting on the pedal, or GB30?

Great, great pedal but the worst app/registration design i have ever encountered, almost sold it because of that...

Love Nick Bowcott but not sure about this sounding like a plexi. With the fuzzy top end it sounds like a small low wattage amp miked up close. Ed's sound was never in your face fuzzy and had that room air even though Diver Down Starfleet Project and 1984. I'd probably run that pedal through an old dbX D-esser to tame off the top end fuzziness. Just saying

Meh … I ended up buying one of these Lion pedals. Like a lot of music hardware claims nowadays it’s largely over rated. Definitely can’t replace a real amp on tone or feel especially.

If I hadn't been a guitar player, I would think I was watching a bizarre science fiction movie. Two extraterrestrial characters speaking a weird unintelligible language, much in the style of the first Star Wars movie. This is crazy. I'm outta here....

No midi, no thanks.

What all you amp pedal designers forget is as a guitar player I want a pedal that sounds like my amp in the room. You don't even allow guitar players to create their own in the studio tone due to the fact you've already predetermined what our studio sound should sound like. This is yet again a producers re-amp tool. You show a bunch of nice Marshall amps but that pedal doesn't sound anything like those amps in the room live

@yessitsme6884

You can turn cab sim off and run it through a power amp into a guitar cab. If you just want more control over the cab and mic sound while staying direct then there are other more versatile products. I like these pedals because I end up spending more time playing and less time tweaking.

Another pedal I want, but I will not buy. If I did, I would be totally locked out of doing anything with it...concerning signal chain. WHY CAN'T YOU TURN OFF POWER TUBES ON THESE MODELS...FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO USE THIS AS A PREAMP IN THEIR AMP???? When people say "well, the original didn't have an effects loop"....I say " well, the original had a speaker cab and real tubes too". I like the UAFX OX stomp...but I will not buy because it doesn't do power tubes and no XLR out...headphones out too for that matter. I feel like UAFX spends all their time in a home studio and NEVER hits the road with their stuff. Sounds wonderful....complete lockout other than that. To all the people who tell me how the original amp worked....I OWN THESE AMPS...I KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A PEDAL, with cab sim...please don't ask me to be a purist about it. It really is the case that I want it to work....I had the Rube, Dream65, and Woodrow (bought them all day 1)...what a bummer for being the preamp to working with the rest of the pedalboard. Maybe UAFX will release a power tube pedal....then I can shut up about this....at the same time they release an update that allows you to turn off cab sim for later in the chain. Then I am in.

Why would anyone buy a one trick pony like this UAFX gear? Sure, sounds good but does one thing. Amp profiling tech is taking off big time. Gear like Tonex and NAM open source is about to change everything. Tech that allows amp profile contributors to be world wide... not just 3 guys in a UA lab. Oh, and as much as he's saying this is no amp profile.. got news for you... if its not the real thing, it's a profile.

@grtxyz4358

The marketing idea is that this is somehow a dynamic capture, not a single profile… and it might be. Also it’s marketed for people that switch from an amp. Those people are conservative, they don’t want menu’s to scroll through…
