I'll tell you how I use the dream. I send one output to the glorious p.a I am using and one to the effects loop of my delta blues amp, bypassing the pre amp and transforming the peavey into a twin and that amp also has a sm57 on it and running to the same p.a. the stage sound and monitor reinforcement system is amazing and the tone in front of house makes everything else in the mix sound better.
I've been messing with a Ruby for a couple weeks now. I wasn't crazy about it at first but you really just have to fiddle with the knobs for a while to find the sound and then save it. Now that I have a good idea how it works it's freaking amazing. The room dial really wakes it up.
These sound really good. Wish there was a Marshall version with jtm45, plexi, and 800. With the boosts being Rangemaster, ce1 preamp, and ep-III preamp.
100% agree with you on the Golden. Purchased it last year after searching for a digital spring that actually sounded like a real spring. Golden is way better than the source audio and strymon stuff for spring sounds. It’s not even really close
@@danielg4331 I’ve tried a lot of strymon pedals they all just sound digital to me I do have a Stryman Zuma powerbrick which I really love it looks cool cause it’s on top of my board and I trust the technology because I think those guys are really smart but even the flint I bought one and put it back in the box the golden is the bomb
@@jeremyversusjazz man I bought the flint because everyone was saying it had an amazing spring reverb. It was so bad I never used it. It had this weird metallic high end that just sounded like reverb trails were coming out of a tin can. Had to use the Plate reverb while I had it.
@@danielg4331 yep. and there r better harm trems out there. mines on reverb but the markets diving so ill probably take a big hit even tho it’s basically brand new
Love the Strymon flint often switch back and forth between my Fender Princeton reverb and the Flint for fun. Sounds great either way. So does the Iridium which did what these pedals did several years ago. Not sure what’s game changing really?
This really is the best demo so far! First time I've seen someone do the Woodrow justice. In other demos, it doesn't seem up to par with the other two, but here I absolutely liked it just as much. I already own the Dream.
Would you recommend the 65’ in general? is it as good at home as it seems online? These things sound so damn good… I feel like I’m being bamboozled lol.
@@jimfertall8351 love mine. It's super versatile and takes pedals really well. I also have the Ruby. It's great too but if I could only have 1, the Dream's versatility would win out.
Excellent tutorial - I love my tube amps but the ability to get a consistent even live sound in the myriad of environments I play w/o tube failure worries…and the load in/out advantage…I am in.
Thanks for the quick reply Corey! I'm gonna get the Dream pedal for its Fender tones. By the way, your videos are top notch. Very fair, informative and skilled which display your personality. Keep up the great work contributing to our guitar community.
Best demo of these so far. I’ve picked up the ruby and the dream and I’m going to try them against my iridium for live use. I also have an ac15 and tone king imperial that I use with an ox box for recording. It will be interesting to try these pedals against that setup. If my recorded sound with that setup is indistinguishable from these pedals, I might have to think about unloading the amp/ox setup. I record often but never play in a club where I’ll need an amp and I go direct when I do play (church), so it’s a real possibility these could replace my live and recording rigs.
I’m not a video maker so there’s no shoot out coming. What I will say is that these pedals are very good. They’ve been more difficult to dial in than I anticipated. (Speaker choice changes what the eq controls do in a massive way- for example on my duo jet and the alnico blue setting on the Ruby, I have to turn the bass almost all the way off) But once dialed in- they do blow the iridium away (not even close, and I liked the iridium) and the ruby is very similar to my ac15 going through the ox box. The ox has more options and was much easier to dial in, but once the sound is there, and you mix with your ears instead of your eyes, it would be hard to tell them apart. I hope this is helpful. I’ve spent more time with the ruby than the dream because I’m more of a Vox guy in general. But as a pedal the dream is much more versatile with that reverb and tremolo. And the boost does way more on the dream than the ruby. One last note on the dream. Again, it takes time to dial in the sound. I didn’t think I’d like the greenback but if you’re going to do chords and rhythm playing at edge of breakup, the greenback is by far the best. I love the ev12 for cleans. If people see this and have a specific question, I’ll answer it if I can.
@@Jonathandavidk Great overview. Much appreciated. I was more curious on the dream vs iridium because that's where I'm at now. Glad to know these are better.
Great!! If I want to use clean sounds in a 3D way, which one would you choose? I like the vox sound better but seems it doesn't stay clean as much as the dream.
Best demo for these pedals, ever! Please consider adding the new ox stomp in the chain. As of yet, I can't seem to find the ox stomp demo using these pedals. I've heard it with the new Friedman ir-x pedal and it sounded amazing!
Freaking awesome playing 😮 Great tones from those pedals! For me, the Dream wins because it’s the only one that have reverb. I wish the other ones had a switchable ‘63 Fender reverb coupled to it after the simulated amp.
Corey, most reviewers never discuss how to (1) connect these UA pedals for live performance which is what I'm interested in. What jacks are available to connect to mixer? No XLR? What cables must be used? What about effects loops to add reverb and delay pedals? TRD cables? The tones are nice but everyone covers the tones. Before I buy, I need to understand how to connect for a live performance.
Fair point! These pedals are stereo in and out using 1/4 mono cables. One could connect them to a 1/4 input on a mixer or a better option would be to run into one or two (if stereo) direct boxes then to the mixer.
@@coreycongilio Understood. I guess I'm thinking mainly overdrive/fuzz pedals. I use a Crazy Tube Circuits Falcon for my tweed 55 sound. It would be interesting to hear how a pedal like this would sound with The Dream compared to mic'ing a Deluxe Reverb. Just a thought. Take it easy.
Thanks for the review. I would like to have seen some of the UA and Artists presets being used to check out those tones and to see if eg Bluetooth latency with the pedal is an issue. It's actually a major feature of the pedals. Not many reviewers are checking this out which makes me have second thoughts on this feature. Cheers.
You're right. There should be some demos of the presets. I've tested them and they sound good. There are some fun folks that they had do some. Wish I could have contributed! I don't use presets much so, I didn't go there. Plus it's tricky for me to use them while recording video as well. I'll leave that to the bigger channels lol! What I do like is being able to customize the switches in the app.
One thing though, can the Ruby get clean, like early Beatles? That’s why I bought it, because Beatles 1963-65 is my favorite tone ever. But, every demo I see has been high gain. Thanks.
Great demo and awesome playing, and while I think they are all really really close to the real thing, they all have this fizziness that I guess is ultimately the difference between digital not quite getting the organic character of real tubes. So for me, almost, but not quite there.
One of the things I love since I switched to single channel low wattage tube amps is that they’re responsive to how I play. I can roll the volume back on my guitar or just play softer and the amp will clean up a little bit. I can crank the volume on the guitar or play harder and the amp will break up more. Can these pedals do that? Because every single amp sim I’ve ever tried to use doesn’t do that.
You're right, I've had the same experience with most amp sims. Hence, my hesitation for using them. These act a lot like that amps they're modeling. The UA designers are borderline maniacal when they develop a product as they want all of the details you expect to be there. I suppose trying them is the best way to decide!
@@coreycongilio Well yeah. But there’s a problem there too. None of the music stores have them in stock. And I don’t have $400 laying around that I can throw at a pedal I may or may not like. So there isn’t anywhere to test them. One of the guys working at guitar center….surprise surprise…..hadn’t even heard of them.
Marshall Sims from other companies are good enough. Fender and vox needed uad to step in... These are digital pedals. If you are about to buy 3x 400$ pedals, spare yourself the pain and get the hx stomp which can act as an entire rig and has very accurate emulations of every high gain amp in existence.
Was poking around this morning having coffee. Found this video. Are you running them directly into you audio interface. Would they work in front of an amp? Great video as always. My rig is pretty small and simple, I just play for myself at home. I enjoy watching this type of video and seeing what’s available.
Hi, maybe I missed something; how does the "Dream 65" react to a tube screamer? That would be interesting to listen to. Thank you for this very nice video.
I bought a Dream ‘65 to replace my Fender Blues Deluxe I used to plug into. The clean sounds are great, but I have some trouble dialing in overdrive(s). I use a Keeley D&M boost/OD but I’m experiencing a tone which sounds like digital clipping. Even at modest settings. It adds a top sizzle which I didn’t noticed when plugged into the Blues Deluxe. Any thoughts on how to tame this sizzle? It’s especially noticeable when using in ear monitoring.
Hey man, I'm struggling to find a demo of the Dream 65 that will help me. I love your Boss IR2 video because you're using your 335, which is my guitar style too. I need to hear something doing a Fender Deluxe or Twin Reverb on SUPER CLEAN, because all my drive comes from my dual TS9's (Phish style) and nobody does a demo of the Dream 65 on zero breakup with a 335-style guitar. Do you have anything recorded like that anywhere? I just need to hear that the Dream 65 can go completely clean with no edge-of-breakup in it with a semi-hollow humbucker guitar lol. Nobody does that video!
Thanks Corey, these pedals look awesome. Just for clarity these amp simulators are best going direct to the board, whereas amp in a box type pedals (lovepedal etc) are more suitable for running thru your own amp?
You can do either with these. Yes on running direct. You can turn the speaker off and run it in front of your amp to get the flavor of the amp into your existing amplifier. You can also run it in what is called 4 cable method. This means you'll run it into your amps FX return if it has one. The pedal now becomes the pre amp section of your amp. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
Corey, of these I think it's a toss-up between the Dream and the Ruby for me, but I'm also curious about your thoughts on (or even a comparison with) the Walrus Audio ACS1, for example, which covers similar ground with respect to classic/vintage Vox and Fender tones (in their way, I know), and adds a Marshall Bluesbreaker to boot. Not a bad trio to work with, I think you'd agree, but after seeing your thoughtful remarks on another commenter's criticism of UA's one amp/one pedal model (exceptional here, of course), I thought it worth asking. Be well, brother.
Thx, Robert. Haven’t played the Walrus. They make great stuff. I know the UA folks well and see what goes into this stuff. It’s very deep and they put years into the R&D. I’ve never been let down by anything they make. Theyd tell you themselves that not everything they make is for everyone. They’re just doing the best recreations they can. That’s kinda their lane. The good thing about this stuff is we can always try it and send it back in most cases if it doesn’t work for us!
@@coreycongilio Thanks again for taking a moment to respond; one other question, for clarity, concerns pedal order: Would you put any of these UA pedals "in the middle," as it were, i.e., OD(s)/wah/distortion etc. first into the UA box of choice, with time based-effects after? Ex: Guitar-->OD-->UA Dream-->Delay/Reverb or some such. Or what would you recommend?
@@robertcarhartjr6234Sure thing. These pedals have a few applications. The biggest is actually replacing the amp all together. If you wanted to use these in a traditional stopmbox OD pedal fashion, you would turn off the speaker emulation and most likely put these pedals later in the chain since they are emulating amps and not overdrive pedals. That being said, there are no rules but, I would most likely try to treat them as an amp.
@@coreycongilio That's the kind of thing I was thinking of, for perhaps a small fly-rig set-up without bothering with an actual amp to save on weight, etc. Guitar into an OD pedal, then, say, into a UA Ruby, out into a TC Plethora X3/X5 (or something along these lines) to handle everything else at the end of the chain (into a board or small mixer, and in stereo!).
They sound great, like really good, but they can't replace my Iridium until they come out with a Marshall, put them all in one box and give it midi presets.
Help me understand this: I get one of these pedals….and I put it in front of an amp. Don’t I have an amp simulator being run into an actual *unsimulated* amp? How can this make sense? For example, I have an Orange amp. Now I am playing an Orange amp running a Fender ‘65 simulator? Given that this seems like an obvious problem to me….how should set all my gear up?
Ideally, these pedals take the place of your amp for direct applications like recording or live performance where everyone is running direct. Mind you, UA is a recording company first and these pedals are built in the image of recording at home without live microphones. All the tones you hear in my demo are directly from the pedals to the recording interface. You can turn off cabinet simulation in them if you’d like to try it in front of the real amp to get the pre amp qualities of of the modeled amp. For instance, the colors of the Vox style pedal could be fun to use in a real amp that has more of a Fender tone stack etc.
@@coreycongilio Ah! Of course. You actually said this during the demo, but I assumed that was just for this RUclips production. So I guess the comparable technology in this application is the modeling available entirely via DAW software. I wonder if there is any reason to think external circuits plugged into the DAW are superior to purely software modeling.
Any specific amps ‘Nashville players’ love to pair with the ac30 or Ruby in this case? I bought the Woodrow and wonder which other one of these 3 is best for pairing? Or is it just a matter of taste?
GREAT demo and outrageous playing! Wondering if the Dream would sound good with an Origin Effects Revival Drive compact in front? It would be like overlaying the very amp-like sounds of the Revival Drive over the Dream’s Deluxe Reverb amp, so thinking that might just muddy things up. Also wondering about a J. Rockett Dude pedal in front. Thanks
So what are you playing these “amps” through? If I have a deluxe reverb and I want an AC 30 or marshall sound would it work or is this only for the “quiet stage”? Corey, you’re the best. Thanks for all your help!
Playing direct to the interface. No amp here other than the pedal. You can use these with physical amps however, you’ll want to turn the cabinet modeling off. Thx!

This is THE BEST demo so far. Fine work!
Many thanks!
Crushing it as always Corey!! Thanks for taking them for a spin!
My pleasure. Congrats on another winner!
Now we need these with some Marshalls and a Soldano slo 100
Why are there no videos of bass guitar with your new peddles ?
Perhaps they are not good for bass...?
You’re such a good reviewer! Not too much talking great playing, the stuff you do say is relevant and accurate, great personality! Love your channel!
I'll tell you how I use the dream. I send one output to the glorious p.a I am using and one to the effects loop of my delta blues amp, bypassing the pre amp and transforming the peavey into a twin and that amp also has a sm57 on it and running to the same p.a. the stage sound and monitor reinforcement system is amazing and the tone in front of house makes everything else in the mix sound better.
I've been messing with a Ruby for a couple weeks now. I wasn't crazy about it at first but you really just have to fiddle with the knobs for a while to find the sound and then save it. Now that I have a good idea how it works it's freaking amazing. The room dial really wakes it up.
Just like the real Deluxe Reverb, to me the "Dream" seems to be the most versatile. It also sounds the most amazingly accurate to the real amp.
I came here for the pedals, but stayed for the tightness!
It's real nice to hear a guitar player with a real good sense of rhythm.
What a freaking boss! That opening jam was unbelievable
Finally someone doing it with a STRATTTTTTTT ! such a beauuuuty
Dammm! That opening track was absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥And definitely the best demo of these so far!
Thx!
These sound really good. Wish there was a Marshall version with jtm45, plexi, and 800. With the boosts being Rangemaster, ce1 preamp, and ep-III preamp.
I’d be shocked if they don’t do that eventually.
UA stuff is the bomb. Bought the golden verb last year--best digital verb ever. got an OX box--also amazing.

Fantastic demo Corey, you made these shine!
Quick q: did you run the starlight and golden into the ruby or after it? Inquiring minds want to know…
Reverb was after, delay was before in some instances.
The preamp of the starlight sounds wonderful going into the dream 65

Great playing and demo! Why they didn't do a Fender, Vox and Marshall is strange to me.
Marshall Sims from other companies are good enough. Fender and vox needed uad to step in... These are digital pedals. If you are about to buy 3x 400$ pedals, spare yourself the pain and get the hx stomp which can act as an entire rig and has very accurate emulations of every high gain amp in existence.
@@pb25193 Both fender and Vox have their own line of pedals, Vox in particular has 4 different amp modeler pedals besides their other modelers.
Was poking around this morning having coffee. Found this video. Are you running them directly into you audio interface. Would they work in front of an amp? Great video as always. My rig is pretty small and simple, I just play for myself at home. I enjoy watching this type of video and seeing what’s available.
I am going straight into the interface. You can use them with an amp, you'll just want to turn off the cabinet modeling. All the best!
Hi, maybe I missed something; how does the "Dream 65" react to a tube screamer? That would be interesting to listen to. Thank you for this very nice video.
All overdrive and other styles of pedals work well with these modelers.
Thanks Corey ! Great demo . Has anyone done a demo of these pedals in a gig with a live band?
Thanks! Not that I've seen
Damn son. Smokin intro.
thx my man!
AWESOME!!!
thx buddy!
I bought a Dream ‘65 to replace my Fender Blues Deluxe I used to plug into. The clean sounds are great, but I have some trouble dialing in overdrive(s). I use a Keeley D&M boost/OD but I’m experiencing a tone which sounds like digital clipping. Even at modest settings. It adds a top sizzle which I didn’t noticed when plugged into the Blues Deluxe. Any thoughts on how to tame this sizzle? It’s especially noticeable when using in ear monitoring.
Hey man, I'm struggling to find a demo of the Dream 65 that will help me. I love your Boss IR2 video because you're using your 335, which is my guitar style too. I need to hear something doing a Fender Deluxe or Twin Reverb on SUPER CLEAN, because all my drive comes from my dual TS9's (Phish style) and nobody does a demo of the Dream 65 on zero breakup with a 335-style guitar. Do you have anything recorded like that anywhere? I just need to hear that the Dream 65 can go completely clean with no edge-of-breakup in it with a semi-hollow humbucker guitar lol. Nobody does that video!
Excellent video and great performance!
What an incredible guitar gear we are seeing in 2022!!! Which one is your favorite of these three pedals Corey?
Thx! Agreed. We’re in the golden age of gear!
I like the Dream the best
@@coreycongilio I agree with you!☝️
It sounds phenomenal!!!🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Corey, these pedals look awesome. Just for clarity these amp simulators are best going direct to the board, whereas amp in a box type pedals (lovepedal etc) are more suitable for running thru your own amp?
You can do either with these. Yes on running direct. You can turn the speaker off and run it in front of your amp to get the flavor of the amp into your existing amplifier. You can also run it in what is called 4 cable method. This means you'll run it into your amps FX return if it has one. The pedal now becomes the pre amp section of your amp. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
you sound great though ALL of them!!!
Thx!
Corey, of these I think it's a toss-up between the Dream and the Ruby for me, but I'm also curious about your thoughts on (or even a comparison with) the Walrus Audio ACS1, for example, which covers similar ground with respect to classic/vintage Vox and Fender tones (in their way, I know), and adds a Marshall Bluesbreaker to boot. Not a bad trio to work with, I think you'd agree, but after seeing your thoughtful remarks on another commenter's criticism of UA's one amp/one pedal model (exceptional here, of course), I thought it worth asking. Be well, brother.
Thx, Robert. Haven’t played the Walrus. They make great stuff. I know the UA folks well and see what goes into this stuff. It’s very deep and they put years into the R&D. I’ve never been let down by anything they make. Theyd tell you themselves that not everything they make is for everyone. They’re just doing the best recreations they can. That’s kinda their lane. The good thing about this stuff is we can always try it and send it back in most cases if it doesn’t work for us!
@@coreycongilio Thanks again for taking a moment to respond; one other question, for clarity, concerns pedal order: Would you put any of these UA pedals "in the middle," as it were, i.e., OD(s)/wah/distortion etc. first into the UA box of choice, with time based-effects after? Ex: Guitar-->OD-->UA Dream-->Delay/Reverb or some such. Or what would you recommend?
@@robertcarhartjr6234Sure thing. These pedals have a few applications. The biggest is actually replacing the amp all together. If you wanted to use these in a traditional stopmbox OD pedal fashion, you would turn off the speaker emulation and most likely put these pedals later in the chain since they are emulating amps and not overdrive pedals. That being said, there are no rules but, I would most likely try to treat them as an amp.
@@coreycongilio That's the kind of thing I was thinking of, for perhaps a small fly-rig set-up without bothering with an actual amp to save on weight, etc. Guitar into an OD pedal, then, say, into a UA Ruby, out into a TC Plethora X3/X5 (or something along these lines) to handle everything else at the end of the chain (into a board or small mixer, and in stereo!).
nice demo and playing!
would love to hear how they compare to iridium 👂
My iridium is for sale!
@@coreycongilio damn :)
They sound great, like really good, but they can't replace my Iridium until they come out with a Marshall, put them all in one box and give it midi presets.
now they gotta make a marshall, orange and rectifier
WOW You rock!!
Help me understand this: I get one of these pedals….and I put it in front of an amp. Don’t I have an amp simulator being run into an actual *unsimulated* amp? How can this make sense? For example, I have an Orange amp. Now I am playing an Orange amp running a Fender ‘65 simulator? Given that this seems like an obvious problem to me….how should set all my gear up?
Ideally, these pedals take the place of your amp for direct applications like recording or live performance where everyone is running direct. Mind you, UA is a recording company first and these pedals are built in the image of recording at home without live microphones. All the tones you hear in my demo are directly from the pedals to the recording interface. You can turn off cabinet simulation in them if you’d like to try it in front of the real amp to get the pre amp qualities of of the modeled amp. For instance, the colors of the Vox style pedal could be fun to use in a real amp that has more of a Fender tone stack etc.
@@coreycongilio Ah! Of course. You actually said this during the demo, but I assumed that was just for this RUclips production. So I guess the comparable technology in this application is the modeling available entirely via DAW software. I wonder if there is any reason to think external circuits plugged into the DAW are superior to purely software modeling.
Any specific amps ‘Nashville players’ love to pair with the ac30 or Ruby in this case? I bought the Woodrow and wonder which other one of these 3 is best for pairing? Or is it just a matter of taste?
Very nice demo. For the money, they better sound great and accurate. Care to do a NUX amp academy or did I missed it? Thanks
Killer killer!!!
GREAT demo and outrageous playing! Wondering if the Dream would sound good with an Origin Effects Revival Drive compact in front? It would be like overlaying the very amp-like sounds of the Revival Drive over the Dream’s Deluxe Reverb amp, so thinking that might just muddy things up. Also wondering about a J. Rockett Dude pedal in front. Thanks
Thanks! Revival might be redundant. Most other pedals would be great in front of the UAFX
6:55 Dammit Corey.
😂
So what are you playing these “amps” through? If I have a deluxe reverb and I want an AC 30 or marshall sound would it work or is this only for the “quiet stage”? Corey, you’re the best. Thanks for all your help!
Playing direct to the interface. No amp here other than the pedal. You can use these with physical amps however, you’ll want to turn the cabinet modeling off. Thx!
