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

Experience Legit Tube Amp Tones, from Stage to 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.

Experience 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 pairing with overdrives, fuzzes, delays, and more.

Go Brown for Hot-Rodded Heaven

The “brown sound” of Van Halen is ground zero for hot-rodded Super Lead tones. From the sag of a voltage-starved Super Lead amp to the mixed Celestion 25-watt "Greenback"/JBL D-120F 4×12 cabinet*** you'll get the aggressive sizzle, softer midrange 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 — 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*.

Powerful App Control with Hardwired or Bluetooth Connection

The UAFX Control app gives you deep tone shaping for your Lion '68. Customize, save, and manage presets, load artist tones, and set new footswitch modes — with up to four onboard presets plus Live Mode — all with a rock-solid Bluetooth connection.
