You say UA is dumb not to include basic features like MIDI interface and headphones out. Actually, they are smart not to include these, because they can create a new MK 2 version of all of their pedals in a year or so and sell basically the same pedal twice (people like us buy their stuff anyway). Version MK 3 could be with 5 memory slots to save presets (like Eventide pedals) and a Bluetooth connection that actually works. That's what I dislike most about my three UAFX pedals, that BT connectivity simply does not work, I still use them since they just sound so good.
Universal Audio is killing me with all this amazing gear. The Lion sounds great. I’m a fender guy but having this in the studio would great. I currently have a Marshall jvm 410h and it’s ok but way too noisy.
Hey Henning, I think you’ve overtaken Pete Thorn on doing the best pedal demo’s! I love how you show everything, and excellent demo and I’m sold, I’m getting one 😊👍🏼
Sounds incredible, but could be so much more if UA would give us an editor, a hi filter, midi, balanced out, etc. $400 for a Malaysian made pedal (designed in California) seems a little much. I sold my UAFX Woodrow that UA replaced under warranty because the other one just died for no reason. I'll keep the Dream and the Ruby. I've already profiled them without the (authentic) fizzy top end to my TONEX pedal for live performance.
Interesting as always! I’d love to see one of these with MIDI. Certainly turning heads with my musician friends, which I have because I do get out of the house.
I'm glad you're doing the original music demos at the beginning. That's probably one of my favorite aspects of certain RUclips channels. Play first, talk later.
I've tested it this way with comparison to an audio interface. And audio interface was 30% better. So definitely you can practice with Y cable but you will lost a lot of high end (probably due to impedance mismatch)
Great stuff as usual, UA! Only other pedal out there that nails the Marshall Plexi tone is the Sinvertek MGAT-1, but that doesn't have any cab modelling or room like the Lion has. Very cool pedal.
I had that pedal for a few days until I accidentally plugged it into an 18v space…. and then I noticed it specifically says do not exceed 9 V right on the friggin box.
@danmillward7358 Sweetwater has an interview with the designer, they actually made a chip that responds like the original Marshall amps down to the milliamps and micro-voltage, meaning that this has the exact same dynamic response as a Marshall amp, and the tones I've heard out of it are stunningly akin to bands from the 60s, 70s & 80s. A computer program would only give you an imitation of the sound the dynamics wouldn't be there.
As Always very good review. If you compare just the cab sim from the Greenbacks between Lion and Ox stomp? Is the Ox stomp (after the bypassed cab-section in the lion a step up (just the speaker sim without delay etc) or similar?
So, I sat through three quarters of an hour of Henning demoing a guitar amp pedal that I don't understand, will never need, cannot afford, as just a bass player, only because I find Henning entertaining. Keep up the good work. Also: I saw that Sire M7 in the song (IIII AAAAAMM HUUUUUMMAAAANN will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day
Bring me a shrubbery! Anyway, here they managed to do, what I'd have loved for the Ruby: the two channels bridged. So now I only have to wait for them to do the same fir an AC30-like pedal.
Have watched many videos on this item , yours is pretty darn good … did you get a chance to try , on a high gain setting, just pick lighter and slightly reduce the volume on the guitar … will it clean up like a amp ? Or does the gate come into plAy and cause sound issues when the convertors get starved for signal , thank you
Good news , have All sorts of modellers here and that was a weak point … that must be one truly smart gate … we also have many Sansamp units , but they are analog and not modellers … no gates … and they work well to when going ampless… (new word) lol 😂
The songs you put into your clips sometimes reach heights that only the greatest bands achieve. This song and Loaded Gun are OUTSTANDING. Where can I find them so I can listen to them in my car? You are a legend Henning.
Thanks man, that means a lot. You can’t find them anywhere. With todays streaming services getting rich off of musicians and not paying out, don’t release my music other than in my videos.
super demo, ich hab mir nun auch eines gekauft, klingt fantastisch. eine Frage, welche Kabel verwendest du da? habe ich richtig gesehen das man die entweder gerade oder auch abnicken kann am Stecker bei 26:47
Thanks for the video, and some tasty sounds. Well - all those UA pedals are meant for live use, right? For studio there are UA plugins. Let’s say I’ll get two different amp-models, then delay, then reverb and modulation, basic setup. In modern production one might simply use over 50 permutations of various pedals settings in live use during one single gig. Now tell me how you would possibly do this with UA pedals? Even with a powerful programmable switcher a complete change of sound could take like 4 tap dances on different switches or even more. Are you a singing guitarist? - then you have a big problem. If it has at least an external switching TRS input for relay switching… The quality of the sound is of no question, usability in a live scenario with other gear pedalboard gear - very problematic. Compared to Origin effects Revival Drive - it has a complete remote control over relays, and the sound quality is there too.
Almost a year later; roughly the standing re-occurrence of UA’s frequency of major releases. ‘25 is a UA JCM800? I await that with baited breath. Great sounding video,dude.
So, are you telling me that this will finally help me achieve the long-sought 'Picket Fence+Shrubbery' tone? This must be the true Holy Grail of pedals...
No joke, I replaced my 68 Fender Deluxe amp with a UA Dream 65 into a headrush FRFR 108! Sounds even better! Normally the headrush is too boomy, but the UA tames it. Ill be happy to buy this as well if it represents the marshall as well as their 65 represented the deluxe reverb!
@Trv85 I rarely have lifetime pedals in my arsenal, but the dream 65 is just that, always a good affordable backup amp to a gig as well :) I also love my Wampler Pantheon Deluxe and Original Visual Sound H2O Delay because it doesnt color tone. Btw I almost sold my tubescreamer but glad I didnt because it gets along very well with the Dream 65!
Great Video, a little too short as usual, would have loved a full hour! ( 😂 ). Great to see the S-classic out, haven’t let go of mine lately. Never underestimate the joy of a clean plexi - love the chime. Love the fact that you can use different mods and bright caps with the different versions. That green pedal seems to be growing on you. Nice work Henning!
The Quilter SuperBlock UK actually does it, this doesnt sound quite right to me (a longtime plexi owner.) Ive never heard anything that does it right but the Quilter, which is hardware with a tube.
If they ever do a second generation, adding a small, 5 Watt power amp would be nice… that’s something I would like to see in these types of pedals. For home usage, should be very nice if you wanna use a real cab.
@@Stereostupidthere are tons of options for small guitar power amps. Electro Harmonix makes a few, Seymour Duncan, Orange & Blackstar. But EH makes a little 2.5 watt stomp box size power amp called the 5MM that would work perfect for that purpose.
Friedman is a real amp though, not digital modeller. I´d prefer it (or the the amp1) to the UA "amps", because they are software in a metal enclosure...
@@mofateam1 It's a preamp, not including power amp. In this context, a "real amp" typically includes both pre and power amps. So that's good to clarify about the IR-X.
@@grayson84111 yeah such a clever dude there. What I tried to point out : the Friedman is a real analog (pre)amp (yes I know with IR loader, I can watch YT videos too) whereas the UA pedals are amp-simulations/modelers and therefore plugins in pedal format. Not a bad thing at all, but in that category I like analog pedals more.
Henning: understanding the Friedman IRX gets more into high gain territory but take that and features on both out of the equation... which one has the more authentic Marshall sound in your opinion: the Lion or Friedman IRX?
lion has the tones and more versatility - but man you gotta try the ir-x. It's got the thump and life that the digital stuff just cannot do. Henning gets to rock his collection of amps for that real feeling. Most of us are gonna be limited to our DI solution most times... for me, the IR-x smokes any of these UA pedals. Just sold my dream and ruby, as I'll never use them. (although they'd still be great for recording those specific tones). Just my 2 cents man - Try it!
Maybe consider an audio interface? I have been playing with one of the Audients. Not the cheapest solution but then you can also record or play with software plug-ins
Great video! Fantastic sounding pedal and, true to Marshall, it has no real clean tones LOL No headphone out is just bonkers! How am I supposed to play in the middle of the night and not have my wife grab a guitar and beat me around the head with it? Come on, every pedal "amp" should have headphones out!!!
Good video as always! I think the ox stomp is better Imo. You were getting some pretty good sounds with the speaker simulator adjustment! Pretty convincing but like you I'm not really into the Marshall sound It's just been done to death. The bass player in our band says you got to have a marshall and a Les Paul😂. He's a bass player. Anyway I had a question for you: WHERE DID YOU GET THAT LITTLE PEDAL BOARD THAT HOLDS YOUR THREE ORIGINAL EFFECTS FROM UA??????? I saw it on there and I need something exactly like that!!!!🙏 CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THAT IS HENNING??? YOU HAD IT ON A COUPLE OF CLIPS AT APPROXIMATELY 38.35. Thanks again😊
I agree with everything and would only add that the whole thing where you have to use your phone to change presets- sux. 1. Who wants to be on their phone between songs while on stage? 2. Every time you go to change the preset- the connection has timed out and you have to run through this whole process of getting it to connect again- which can run into having to reboot the pedal entirely- it's a pain. 3. If you're somewhere where you can't connect to their wi-fi- you can't get to the UAFX cloud- so you can't get to your presets. Oh and 4.- You need USB-C on your computer to even get the thing working properly- you have to update the firmware, download your presets and cabs- and without a USB-C port on your computer- you can't. And no, an adapter won't work- you have to have a USB-C port on your pc. All that said- if you're willing to put up with this stuff and work around it- it sounds amazing. It is not easy to dial up a sound on your own though- the presets really come in handy. They give you a good starting point to start adjusting things from. But here's another issue- you can't see any of the parameter values on any of the presets. If you could- that would give you a good idea of where to set things to get what you want- but you can't see them. And finding the sweet spot on each parameter is not easy. The knobs controlling two parameters means you set the bass, for instance, then flip a toggle and use the same knob to set the amount of Room tone you want- so now you can't look down to see where the bass is at- you just have to remember where you set it. I never thought about that being an issue until today I was recording and the guy at the desk asks how much bass I had on- and I couldn't tell him. I was like "I think I set it halfway but- I don't know now because now- it's my room tone knob." Little things like that are strange but- you learn to just work around it. It's worth it to get the tone- that same guy at the desk told me later that the Lion, once dialed in, sounded better than any other modeler he had ever recorded.
13:25 mini rant 😂 16:39 composite safety toe ok? Coffee always ready 👍🏽 41:37 i often have people say “ what’s wrong with him” about me… its just the way I am, and I’m ok with me if you have a problem with me thats your problem.
Volta ist ein Drive Pedal was vor einen Amp muss, Lion ist ein kompletter Modeler inklusive Boxensimulation…. Die haben nichts miteinander zu tun und können so auch nicht verglichen werden.
Ok...danke für die schnelle Antwort. Ich wollte das Pedal von Volta zusammen mit dem Impulse IR Loader als platzsparende "Amp in a box" - Lösung auf meinem Board kombinieren. In dem Fall eher suboptimal.
would love to see a review about the St Rock Amperium. My post will be deleted if i put a link in here, so maybe you don´t mind to google for it. I know it is a not so well known device but the toneshaping features are outstanding and very unique and the soundquality of the amps are one of the best and comparable to axe fx and quad cortex
TC didn’t actually make a Plexi… they have a JTM and a JCM, but not a Plexi…. And if they did they would still be quite a bit apart in performance. This one is incredibly good.
Another cracking no shit demo Henning loving the sounds, think I might have to put the Friedman IR-X on hold and make my mind up but price might have to come into it as well Lion £100 cheaper in the Uk
This or Friedman IR-X? Different tech but end result is still Marshall-esque with IR-X also. I was about to pull the trigger with that, but now this came up
UA now has a whopping 18 pedals in their lineup. The only way to control them together is buying a separate loop switcher. 3 years in the running and they still decide to not provide MIDI control at least on the bigger pedals. Talk about not listening to your customer base!

You’ve sold me. It’s about damn time we had a proper Marshall in a box pedal!
IT ACCURATELY DOES THE THING WITH A TUBE SCREAMER HOLY BALLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSZ!!!!
Kingsley has had one for a while but you definitely paid for it!
You can use headphones in stereo of you get a y-cable and plug it into both outputs. It is strong enough to drive my headphones.

Loved your intro song! Such a good way to demonstrate equipment. What model is that purple Ibanez please?
Haaa… as if I can remember Ibanez model numbers. It’s a Prestige, I know that.
Hi, so with a Y cable you can use your headphones? How the sound is? Have you tried it? Thanks
Sounds ok
The room sounds! 🙌🏼
13:25 mini rant 😂
16:39 composite safety toe ok? Coffee always ready 👍🏽
41:37 i often have people say “ what’s wrong with him” about me… its just the way I am, and I’m ok with me if you have a problem with me thats your problem.
Ok, so when do they release them all into one?
The editor speeding up your mannerisms cranked me up haha
I am the Editor
@@EytschPi42 then, well done.
The Lion 68 or the Simplifier X? 😀
You may have addressed this and I’m just dumb but can you make one of the switches a boost activator? So like amp base and kick in the boost ?
That‘s what I did it orbit he app and that‘s how I operated it in the video
I love UA's/Softube's software so I hope it is all that and more.
Michael Bay lens flares for everyone! 😂
Sounded great 👍
This or Friedman IR-X?? I can't decide.
Have you run these pedals through the powerstations? How does it feel and sound?
I have a separate video on that... sounds amazing
"Ultimate Marshall Rig"... or something like that
Rock and roll Henning!
Hallo Henning
Welcher tönt besser: Lion oder Volta 1987?
Du hast bereits beide als Erfahrungswert.
Volta ist ein Drive Pedal was vor einen Amp muss, Lion ist ein kompletter Modeler inklusive Boxensimulation…. Die haben nichts miteinander zu tun und können so auch nicht verglichen werden.
Ok...danke für die schnelle Antwort. Ich wollte das Pedal von Volta zusammen mit dem Impulse IR Loader als platzsparende "Amp in a box" - Lösung auf meinem Board kombinieren. In dem Fall eher suboptimal.
Also Volta mit IR loader ist nicht das selbe wie der Lion… Lion haut alles weg was Modeling angeht… das ist die Lösung für direkte Rocksounds
Looks like a really cool pedal man! You'd better not be biased though 😂
Funny wordplay!
Why the name Lion? My guess it has to do with the brand of tubes/valves that were in Marshall's of that era: Gold Lion.
Or...the "ROAR" 🔥?
Great opening jam 👊🏻
would love to see a review about the St Rock Amperium. My post will be deleted if i put a link in here, so maybe you don´t mind to google for it. I know it is a not so well known device but the toneshaping features are outstanding and very unique and the soundquality of the amps are one of the best and comparable to axe fx and quad cortex
Wondering if this sounds great just going straight on to some near field monitors as a desktop replacement to my amp and cab?
That’s what I am doing. Isn’t that what you are hearing?
In that case, I’m buying! Sounds awesome for a home practice rig in my office
Dude, grest work. What is that telecaster loking guitar? I'm in lust

@@EytschPi42 thanks, unreal guitar but the finish of yours is custom? couldn't find it
Great, another pedal I don't really need, but want.
Perhaps they can update the firmware with MIDI/USB-C functionality. The HW architecture is already there.
How does it compare to the TC Electronics Ampworx version equivalent?
TC didn’t actually make a Plexi… they have a JTM and a JCM, but not a Plexi…. And if they did they would still be quite a bit apart in performance. This one is incredibly good.
Another cracking no shit demo Henning loving the sounds, think I might have to put the Friedman IR-X on hold and make my mind up but price might have to come into it as well Lion £100 cheaper in the Uk
This or Friedman IR-X? Different tech but end result is still Marshall-esque with IR-X also. I was about to pull the trigger with that, but now this came up
real tube amp and typeical pedals. SRV played an old tube screamer and sounded better then anyone. its the player- not the pedals.
I will wait for the UAFX Lion with midi... someday
I don’t know if anyone else has pointed this out, but I think the name “Lion” probably comes from the “Marshall roar” metaphor.
Wann kommt das neue Pedal von Herrn Blug?
I have the Ruby and its fantastic but I still cringe at the price without more presets or midi
Henning. Marshall used a graphic of a lion roaring in their marketing, back in the day. I guess you had to be there... Just don't ask for a shrubbery.
Love the riffs !
The UK’s national Rugby League team are called the Lions, or the British Lions.
Maybe that’s the link😁
UA now has a whopping 18 pedals in their lineup. The only way to control them together is buying a separate loop switcher. 3 years in the running and they still decide to not provide MIDI control at least on the bigger pedals. Talk about not listening to your customer base!
Bluetooth never mix with music gear !
It's just plain stupidity !
Ghost notes are intermodulation distortion between the power supply ripple and the audio
I hear Joe Walsh in that voice! Great song/riffs etc!
That song is really great :)
Which input are you going in? That's what she said.
