Just unpacked my UAFX Dream 65 Thursday night and was very impressed by the classy box it came in. I’m finally getting to take a deep dive into this new pedal and so far I agree with everything you say about it. The folks at UA got it right. Your video helped a lot. Thank you for your dedication to the guitar. Love watching your RUclips channel.
Super demo! UA is solving a big problem. I just played a Deluxe Reverb for the first time and fell in love with the tones. However, the volume drove my ears out of the room. The Dream’s Output control fixes that. Santa take note.
Mr. Tomo I commend you for an excellent demo of this pedal. I own both a 65 Deluxe Reverb and this pedal. I use this pedal live now instead of the amp..One does need to get to know the pedal. For me it was a better solution and much warmer than having 200 choices in a box.. for what I play. Note I could take this pedal by itself and play a gig. Lightened my load and I only need one good amp. This worked me me quite well. my guitar and this pedal a few other pedals over drive and delay and wah.. volume and always use an EP boost.. makes a nice lite rig… Sounds as good as my amp to me. Thanks again for this demo.
If a friend is someone who brings light into your life, and, as John Mayer says, helps keep you where the light is, then Tomo is a friend to all of us. I'm certainly grateful to have discovered this channel a couple years ago, and his four sayings that make up his Guitar Wisdom are pretty close to wisdom in general. Add some form of the Golden Rule and you're good to go. Every student of anything, including life, could benefit from really absorbing and owning them as early as possible. But better late than never.
Thanks, Tomo. Great demo. I just bought the Ruby from Sweetwater which is having a Memorial Day sale with $80 off. I also have the Dream and Woodrow, plus the Max. But I've been putting off registering them and I don't have a studio monitor, so I've only tried the Max so far. Registering them isn't without problems. Especially because the link to the site is broken, plus no phone support. But eventually it worked. First you need to download the app and open it with Bluetooth. I had to disconnect the first pedal from the chain, then plugg it in again in isolation. You need to press the Pair button on back of the pedal for the app to connect. The connection can be finicky. The add button, in the upper left of the Android app seems programmed wrong. If you hit the Blue plus sign (+), the result is different from hitting the text. The text sometimes won't find the new pedal after going into never never land. Once it's connected, it's easy. It keeps track of all your UAD pedals and knows which are connected. But to download the firmware they say you need a computer, so I didn't do that. Bottom line: Eventually it found all four of my pedals, registered them, and added the special features. You'll get there, you just have to be prepared to play around a bit. Tomo's demo makes me want to try them all. I even called my guy at Sweetwater, Dave Cody, and ordered the Starlight delay pedal. One reason these pedals are great, as Tomo demonstrated, is you can view them as a course in audio engineering via ear training. I'm an old guy who's returned to guitar thanks to Tomo. I've found some pedals are too simple (for ear training and comparisons I mean) and some too complex. The complex pedals feel like graduate school. These pedals seem just right for my needs. Tomo's video proved it.
Thanks so much for sharing! I don't like app in general! So I am just using this pedal with just tweaking with those knobs. To me, that's enough choices! Thank you so much!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks, Tomo. If I had your skills and ear I wouldn't like it either. But I'm hoping that by hearing great tones and seeing the settings that produced them, it will help me understand the Why and enable me to find my own tones more easily.
Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon what I can only describe as the crown jewel of demos for the Dream 65 pedal. Just when I thought I’d seen all there was to offer, this demo came along and shattered my expectations. The clarity and richness of the clean tones were nothing short of stellar, a true testament to the potential that’s been lying in wait. It’s a sonic revelation that resonates with the very essence of what music can be. A heartfelt thanks for this auditory masterpiece!
Thank you for this great review Tomo Sensei. The Deluxe is my favourite amp but I only use it live, it’s just too loud to make it sound good at home. I bought a Dream now and I’m waiting for it! 🙂
Maybe for live situations theres a good case for real amps but in a recorded format i just dont believe anyone could tell the difference now. Sounds so good
I wanna ask your opinion, Tomo Sensei : ) I used to practice guitar by connecting my guitar to Universal Audio Dream65 and monitor speaker, with out any amplifier. You said on your youtube video and your book that I should have amplifier if you want to be good for the guitar. For reason to use amplifier, I can learn how important to picking dynamics, you said. I asked you that I was afraid of buying amplifier because I can't play loud in Japanese apartment. I guess it was 5th of May. After this question, you made a video for this question and I was so happy and so glad. I bought a tiny amplifier after I saw your video, I'm really happy with that and I have more fun time practicing the guitar. I saw this video and now is the question. Is this product will take the place of amplifier? or you still think we should have amplifier, even tiny one? I took the opportunity to ask questions in English. I would be happy if you can understand what I wrote. Thank you so much. I really look up to you! Sensei!
Thanks for asking me this. If you own a real tube amp, you have been playing, practicing with that amp for years then use this unit, that case you know the real sound so no problem that you can dial in very similar sound. Listen this carefully.... you never on any tube amps especially simple vintage Fender combo amps... then use this unit to practice, then I highly not recommend to do that, because you could dial wrong setting so that you can pick hard and you won't notice, this way you just cannot be a great guitar player! Thank you! Great question!
Sounds really great. People say it also feels good under the fingers almost like a real amp. I havent tried one yet. Of course it's like listening to the amp through monitors. It can't "move air" like a guitar cah in front of you, or if someone uses controlled feedback it won't be the same I guess.
Own one and its a great preamp for an acoustic going into a portable pa like a Bose S1 Pro+. You can hear it on my channel with most newer recordings. It also handles Bass well and electric violin and of course, electric guitar. Takes the heavy mids and canny sound out of your Bose when using an acoustic.
Hi Tomo, at 16:53 and 25:00 you say you're switching to EV speaker but you actually selected the Oxford; am I understanding this correctly? Excellent demo.....I can't wait to get one of these. I absolutely LOVE my Starlight and Golden reverb!
I have 2. TC Deluxe Combo ‘65 & gokko ACBOX (Vox). They are ok for closed sound practice but nothing beats the Fender Deville ML. I use them to shape sound for effect on live sound.
@@TomoFujitaMusic great playing as always! I will try your settings. You missed going to the actual EV12 setting, it's one more click down. All good though :)
If you think that you can go to a gig, maybe in a pub with no place to put the instruments, with your "amp" in a pocket it's fantastic.. I mean... WHAT A SOUND FOR THESE BOXES! By the way, I also think that if YOU ever played a real amp in a good context you can't ignore it and the real amp is always a great Christmas gift... ❤
In this video. I am using One Control Beth Reverb Pedal. Slow Blues Jam - Tomo Fujita, Will Lee, Oz Noy, and Shawn Pelton ruclips.net/video/-WtcjMWq9qs/видео.html
@@TomoFujitaMusic I wonder if it's too late to add your settings to the UAD app? I haven't played with it yet, and may be confused, but there are pedals with apps that have artist settings available via the web. I'm sure it would make UA and your subscribers happy 🙂🙃😉 I also wonder if you either have or have considered doing a series in developing an ear for amps, speakers, and effects, that would simplify the process for people who dove into the deep end. Basically giving us a better vocabulary to learn and understand what we're hearing. Much like your triad and interval advice offers a gateway into... theory or wisdom or... not sure how to describe it. I just know it was great advice and it works. Just watching this video, which I intend to watch a few times, including with a Tele plugged into a Dream, has demonstrated that something like this ought to be possible.
You can connect it to your computer and update it to get 3 more speaker settings for a total of 6! light will turn green for the other 3 I got this last month. The convenience of not carrying an amp when i live in a city without a car is worth any difference in sound quality from a real amp. Just a guitar and a pedal board and some wireless in-ear monitors and i can walk to any small venue ready to go.
I was looking for a pedal to bring to open mic with my 52 Tele reissue. I found an FDR-1 Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb pedal at a popular online trading website. And then your video came out the day after mine came in the mail. I'm guessing the UA pedal is better. Love to hear you play the pedal I have to see how much different it might be.
It blows my mind how great that sounds! Of course your touch does help make everything sound great. Based on your performance, it doesn't seem that you had any trouble with any sort of digital latency (which is usually where many of might struggle with amp modeling stuff). That's really amazing. Did it feel like an amp?
Sounds absolutely lovely. Amp simulators give you the sound of an amp miked up in another room. They do an incredible job of it. They won't get your trousers flapping but that's not what they are for. Great video. Awesome playing as always!
I have the woodrow pedal and it really sounds quite good. But using it on alot of sessions and live, and a/b ing to amps. I realized it still lacks some punch and dynamics. Its a little bit more flat dynamically, and i need that live. And just doesnt seem to fit in the mix as good. Especially when processing a real amp with eq and compression, i feel there is just still more to work with, like more raw frequencies to carve and boost. While the pedal sounded more like it was already mixed, and not alot more room for equing. Its a killer solution when you cant use a loud amp on stage or studio! thats just my 2 cents :)
Thank you for sharing! I can use a lot of dynamics with these pedals. I was very impressed by these pedals. Set it very simple first. I am making these setting as if I am playing thought old vintage Fender amp.
Fancy stuff but for the money you can buy real used amp like fender blues junior so I guess this must be targetet ad pro guitarist who want to get rid of the equasion traveling with an amp which makes sense. Such a space and weight saving!
Thanks for sharing, Tomo! It sounds lovely in your hands, and hearing it through my computer monitor speakers, my hardware is not good enough to tell the difference between that and a real tube amp. For that very reason I enquired about it in a few places, but that it needs a power amp and has no head phone socket made it a no for me. Besides the fact that, if I were to buy one, I would be paying more money to NOT play my tube amp, where is the logic in that?
You're very welcome! I know the real tone so that my ears are tuning in to that tone with my imagination so listeners could hear what I am hearing in my head! Definitely this pedal is amazing!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks for replying! It really does sound pretty amazing. Would you be able to test out the Tonespeak Austin with "something" from this Deluxe ' 65 to power the speaker / speaker cab? That ToneSpeak Austin has certainly caught my attention; well, and this Dream '65 pedal too... XD
Hi, Great demo. Can you please suggest a few classical guitar under $200-250 as i'm an intermediate player so it would be great if you can share some good models.
@@TomoFujitaMusic hi Tomo, I mean pedals with emulations of speakers and microphone like that one you demoed in comparison with impulse response, like mooer radar.
I bought one of these and I think I wasted £300 but I stress (THINK). I think it is over priced and I have been hard pressed to get a decent sound out of it so far but it is a sophisticated piece of kit and will need some perseverance. Don't be fooled into thinking this has anything to do with Fender. Make sure you try it out first is my advice. My Fender Mustang Micro cost £80 and for multi-track recording thus far I prefer it - buyer beware
I keep hearing demos of this pedal but what it would be nice to hear this thing used with all pedals this to me does not replace an amp it's a boost pedal
No fair…. You make any of these sound good…. Id be interested in your opinion on this versus the Tonex & others you might have tried…. However, you seem very careful to not say anything negative about anything…. I get why….but opinions can still be expressed using positive statements Tomo….I can certainly see why manufacturer’s send you their equipment…. And I mean that in a good way sir…
Thanks for sharing! I don't see anything bad at all. Especially I am using mostly clean tone! The Tonex, This pedal... so good! The Dream '65 is very simple and so easy to use. I love all my hardwired vintage tubes amps. Thank you so much!
Man, I honestly think this is a nice product but it can't do clean tones. Dirty tones, yes. Clean tones, not really. The technology simply isn't there yet.
Sure, it can, but if any of my tube amps go down, I can put them on my workbench, replace the necessary components myself, and run them for another 50 years. 😁 These new pedals will be like the '80s rack units everyone raved about back then, and gave away their tube amps. Now those tube amps are worth thousands, and you can't give away those rack units. Lol!
please tell me where someone is trying to give away a TC 2290, a good Lexicon or SDD echo unit. hard to take the rest of what you say seriously when you appear to be significantly out of date about the values of good rack gear.
@@TCMx3 I figured someone would chime in with an expert comment. You obviously totally missed the point. I'm talking about all the affordable consumer grade "local gigging musician" '80s rack gear that was pushed back then. Kinda of like the current consumer grade amp emulator pedals that are being pushed today. I'm not talking about studio grade gear. That's a big difference in price. I do know the values and prices of most every kind of gear made in the last 75 years or so. I buy, sell, and collect all the time. Prices fluctuate, but consumer grade '80s rack gear goes for a fraction of the price of tube amps from the same eras. It would be an interesting comparison to see a price list of original Universal Audio hardware vs. tube amps released at the same time. I wonder which has retained its re-sell value and use better? Oh, I forgot, you'd probably have to purchase a license before you could even use the UA stuff. Meanwhile, I'll be playing through my tube amps while you're downloading the updates. Lol!
@@RyansCustomShopandGearOutlet my guy you are trying to weasel so hard here I could make a fur coat. These pedals are pro level gear. Also in typical fashion, you are making up a guy here when it comes to the gear I play. Your channel is full of modest (but good) tube amps. You do not want to play this game against the kinda asshole who can't play so good but can click add to cart with the best of them.
@@TCMx3 I'm not knocking the pedal. I agree this is an amazing pedal, and I agree some digital gear sounds amazing, and I agree what I can afford ranges from mediocre to beginner in the eyes of real pros. Tube amps are timeless collectibles. There will always be a nostalgia for tube amps (specially the vintage ones), and future generations will probably pay well beyond what we have paid to enjoy playing the same tubes amps. I don't think digital gear will be as collectible in the future as technology advances beyond what we can even imagine today. By the way, I do suck at playing guitar, but I have fun, and I can probably repair anything you break. Don't forget, Leo Fender couldn't even play guitar, but he sure gave us some great stuff. (Not comparing myself to Leo Fender by any means, so don't blast me for that too.) 🤣
Tomo gets money and promote the product. Without the money, he never even talks about the product or the brand. Well, you are not as influential as you think.
That's not true! They did not pay me for this. I really love this product because I am very keen on this type of products. Thanks for sharing. I don't think myself anything! I am just a guitar player who loves music so much!

Thank you so much! So happy to hear that!
Thanks, Tomo. Great demo. I just bought the Ruby from Sweetwater which is having a Memorial Day sale with $80 off. I also have the Dream and Woodrow, plus the Max. But I've been putting off registering them and I don't have a studio monitor, so I've only tried the Max so far.
Registering them isn't without problems. Especially because the link to the site is broken, plus no phone support. But eventually it worked. First you need to download the app and open it with Bluetooth. I had to disconnect the first pedal from the chain, then plugg it in again in isolation. You need to press the Pair button on back of the pedal for the app to connect. The connection can be finicky. The add button, in the upper left of the Android app seems programmed wrong. If you hit the Blue plus sign (+), the result is different from hitting the text. The text sometimes won't find the new pedal after going into never never land. Once it's connected, it's easy. It keeps track of all your UAD pedals and knows which are connected. But to download the firmware they say you need a computer, so I didn't do that.

Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon what I can only describe as the crown jewel of demos for the Dream 65 pedal.
Just when I thought I’d seen all there was to offer, this demo came along and shattered my expectations.
The clarity and richness of the clean tones were nothing short of stellar, a true testament to the potential that’s been lying in wait.
It’s a sonic revelation that resonates with the very essence of what music can be.

Sounds absolutely lovely. Amp simulators give you the sound of an amp miked up in another room. They do an incredible job of it. They won't get your trousers flapping but that's not what they are for. Great video. Awesome playing as always!
Thank you so much!
I have the woodrow pedal and it really sounds quite good. But using it on alot of sessions and live, and a/b ing to amps. I realized it still lacks some punch and dynamics. Its a little bit more flat dynamically, and i need that live. And just doesnt seem to fit in the mix as good. Especially when processing a real amp with eq and compression, i feel there is just still more to work with, like more raw frequencies to carve and boost. While the pedal sounded more like it was already mixed, and not alot more room for equing. Its a killer solution when you cant use a loud amp on stage or studio! thats just my 2 cents :)
Thank you for sharing! I can use a lot of dynamics with these pedals. I was very impressed by these pedals. Set it very simple first. I am making these setting as if I am playing thought old vintage Fender amp.
@@TomoFujitaMusic i havent tried the dream pedal tough! Sounds good :)
These are pretty good, I use Strymon iridium though. If these were all in one pedal it would be sick
Thank you for sharing!
Tomo, thanks for the video; question: you took the armrests off the secret lab yes? 😂
Yes thank you!
This is an alternative to great amp but not a replacement.
Thank you for sharing!
What do you think about the ACS1? I have it and I don’t know what amp to get because I already have the amp sim pedal 😅
THat is amazing. Do you then plug that directly into a speaker cabinet or input into another amp??
Thank you. So far, I only plugged this into my powered monitor.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Mahalo for the response!!
Conne3ct it to something like the Laney powered FRFR and it's sound like an amp
Fancy stuff but for the money you can buy real used amp like fender blues junior so I guess this must be targetet ad pro guitarist who want to get rid of the equasion traveling with an amp which makes sense. Such a space and weight saving!
Thank you for sharing! This is just one of choices if you are interested
How do you combine it with pedals?
Simply you can plug any pedals after this.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you
Thanks for sharing, Tomo! It sounds lovely in your hands, and hearing it through my computer monitor speakers, my hardware is not good enough to tell the difference between that and a real tube amp. For that very reason I enquired about it in a few places, but that it needs a power amp and has no head phone socket made it a no for me. Besides the fact that, if I were to buy one, I would be paying more money to NOT play my tube amp, where is the logic in that?
You're very welcome! I know the real tone so that my ears are tuning in to that tone with my imagination so listeners could hear what I am hearing in my head! Definitely this pedal is amazing!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks for replying! It really does sound pretty amazing. Would you be able to test out the Tonespeak Austin with "something" from this Deluxe ' 65 to power the speaker / speaker cab? That ToneSpeak Austin has certainly caught my attention; well, and this Dream '65 pedal too... XD
You're very welcome! Let me try something. Thank you!
Sweetwater don't deliver to the UK...
Thank you for sharing!
I would have said no but after years of trying and being dissatisfied I think the Helix can. The new update has changed the game imo
Thank you for sharing
What was the new update and are you now satisfied?
Hi, Great demo.
Can you please suggest a few classical guitar under $200-250 as i'm an intermediate player so it would be great if you can share some good models.
Thank you! Let me think about that topic.
@@TomoFujitaMusic okay no worry, i'm waiting for the suggestion.....
What chord progression is this?
Georgia On My Mind ish chords
How do you compare pedals like that with impulse response loaders?
I don't know what exactly you mean.
@@TomoFujitaMusic hi Tomo, I mean pedals with emulations of speakers and microphone like that one you demoed in comparison with impulse response, like mooer radar.
@@mauriciot Overall the sound is really good! Very comfortable to play.
I bought one of these and I think I wasted £300 but I stress (THINK). I think it is over priced and I have been hard pressed to get a decent sound out of it so far but it is a sophisticated piece of kit and will need some perseverance. Don't be fooled into thinking this has anything to do with Fender. Make sure you try it out first is my advice. My Fender Mustang Micro cost £80 and for multi-track recording thus far I prefer it - buyer beware
Thank you for sharing!
Re-sold mine after hours of tweaking trying unsuccessfully to find a decent sound, to my ears at least.
Thank you for sharing!
This pedal sings and my wallet is 😢ing
Well. Good thing is expensive in general.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Yes true 😂👍🎸
I keep hearing demos of this pedal but what it would be nice to hear this thing used with all pedals this to me does not replace an amp it's a boost pedal
Thank you for sharing!
Any giveaways?
No. I am not planning that.
Love these DR demos/units, but I'm waiting for someone to make one based on the Twin Reverb. 🤙🏼
Yes
请问低噪大怎么解决呢
是的！提高琴弦高度。把声音调大一点，调亮一点，这样你就可以听到更多的声音！
No fair…. You make any of these sound good…. Id be interested in your opinion on this versus the Tonex & others you might have tried…. However, you seem very careful to not say anything negative about anything…. I get why….but opinions can still be expressed using positive statements Tomo….I can certainly see why manufacturer’s send you their equipment…. And I mean that in a good way sir…
Thanks for sharing! I don't see anything bad at all. Especially I am using mostly clean tone! The Tonex, This pedal... so good! The Dream '65 is very simple and so easy to use. I love all my hardwired vintage tubes amps. Thank you so much!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Someone that is impersonating you Tomo is trying to scam me….just a heads up….
@@joethompson2910 Thanks for sharing! Yes! Poplar scam. I never ask anything personal.
But, will it chug?
Awesome! Yes!
Man, I honestly think this is a nice product but it can't do clean tones. Dirty tones, yes. Clean tones, not really. The technology simply isn't there yet.
Thank you for sharing!
低噪太大怎么解决
Play more clean tone!
Sure, it can, but if any of my tube amps go down, I can put them on my workbench, replace the necessary components myself, and run them for another 50 years. 😁 These new pedals will be like the '80s rack units everyone raved about back then, and gave away their tube amps. Now those tube amps are worth thousands, and you can't give away those rack units. Lol!
please tell me where someone is trying to give away a TC 2290, a good Lexicon or SDD echo unit.
hard to take the rest of what you say seriously when you appear to be significantly out of date about the values of good rack gear.
@@TCMx3 I figured someone would chime in with an expert comment. You obviously totally missed the point. I'm talking about all the affordable consumer grade "local gigging musician" '80s rack gear that was pushed back then. Kinda of like the current consumer grade amp emulator pedals that are being pushed today. I'm not talking about studio grade gear. That's a big difference in price. I do know the values and prices of most every kind of gear made in the last 75 years or so. I buy, sell, and collect all the time. Prices fluctuate, but consumer grade '80s rack gear goes for a fraction of the price of tube amps from the same eras. It would be an interesting comparison to see a price list of original Universal Audio hardware vs. tube amps released at the same time. I wonder which has retained its re-sell value and use better? Oh, I forgot, you'd probably have to purchase a license before you could even use the UA stuff. Meanwhile, I'll be playing through my tube amps while you're downloading the updates. Lol!
@@RyansCustomShopandGearOutlet my guy you are trying to weasel so hard here I could make a fur coat. These pedals are pro level gear. Also in typical fashion, you are making up a guy here when it comes to the gear I play. Your channel is full of modest (but good) tube amps. You do not want to play this game against the kinda asshole who can't play so good but can click add to cart with the best of them.
@@TCMx3 I'm not knocking the pedal. I agree this is an amazing pedal, and I agree some digital gear sounds amazing, and I agree what I can afford ranges from mediocre to beginner in the eyes of real pros. Tube amps are timeless collectibles. There will always be a nostalgia for tube amps (specially the vintage ones), and future generations will probably pay well beyond what we have paid to enjoy playing the same tubes amps. I don't think digital gear will be as collectible in the future as technology advances beyond what we can even imagine today. By the way, I do suck at playing guitar, but I have fun, and I can probably repair anything you break. Don't forget, Leo Fender couldn't even play guitar, but he sure gave us some great stuff. (Not comparing myself to Leo Fender by any means, so don't blast me for that too.) 🤣
Yes! I still love all my hand wired vintage amps! This pedal does amazing job!

@@TomoFujitaMusic they do make a difference. Nice video. You sold me. I'll get mine later this week.

The sound of this pedal has absolute nothing in common with the real amp.
Thank you for sharing.
If ya wanna hear it through a Bose S1 Pro+ i got a demo here: ruclips.net/video/B1nnUef-9e8/видео.htmlsi=KIoauctJzkwu0K5W
Thank you so much for sharing!
Great playing!
@ You made my day with your compliment, thank you!
Tomo gets money and promote the product. Without the money, he never even talks about the product or the brand. Well, you are not as influential as you think.
That's not true! They did not pay me for this. I really love this product because I am very keen on this type of products. Thanks for sharing. I don't think myself anything! I am just a guitar player who loves music so much!
