Thanks all for watching, this was a very extensive demo and I sure gave it my all. Now I need your help naming the intro tune, I was going to call it "Tie Your Mattress Down" (your arm can't hold it) but open to suggestions.
I own vintage AC30s. This is probably the first simulation/emulation I've heard that sounds very very close to my Ac30. I hope UA comes out with a JTM45 or Superlead, and/or a JCM800
Being able to change what the foot switches do is so brilliant. If it’s going to be always on anyways than it really doesn’t need an on/off switch. Super cool you can change it up immediately depending on your needs that day. Another great demo Andy! If your 65 Amps Soho could see you now. 😂
1. Great Demo Andy! Seems redundant to say to Andy Martin but I want to re-state occasionally that Andy has the talent and skill to demonstrate gear like no one else. 2. I love my OX box and these pedals contain so much of what I love about it. I have 2 vintage tweeds, one brown and one vintage DR. I rely on them heavily... I also have a 2007 Vox AC30 which I don't use as much anymore. I'm so impressed with the Ruby, I think I might have to sell the Amp and just get that instead for that one flavor of amp. This demo made it so obvious.
I have vintage AC30s and a CCH head and the Ruby is the first emulation I've heard that comes dangerously close to my amps being recorded. There's still some complex grind in the amps that the pedal doesn't quite nail, but honestly, I could gig with just the Ruby split into a poweramp/clean cab for stage volume and the PA and be satisfied
What Andy didn't demonstrate is how well these pedals react to your own dirtboxes; you'd be hard-pressed to tell a difference. They may be digital, but they're a level beyond Sansamp's analog recreations; the realism is stunning.
I'd love to hear a Timmy into the Ruby to see how it sounds. Or a Zendrive. Both mainstays on my board when playing my vintage AC30s. The timmy is like the "missing" channel of a vox. Just pairs so well.
Coming from the Kemper system, I think these pedals are excellent. They will make a great investment for traveling guitarists especially. Kemper missed the opportunity to do this. Now UA has the floor.
Watching and listening to other players reviews of these pedals the common theme was they were not real fans of the Woodrow. It’s clear from listening to this demo that Andy is totally across how to exploit all the quirky goodness from this amp. That’s why it’s on so many hit records, excellent!!
It would be interesting to compare these pedals to their equivalents in the HX Stomp. You can get a used HX for under $500, so if the sound is comparable you could save $600-700 by getting a used HX Stomp.
That saving is of course based on the idea that you would want all 3 UAD. Personally I'd be happy with one excellent clean /dirty amp. I don't need to recreate every tone known to man. Especially when only guitar nerds would tell the difference in a mix.
The app integration with UAFX pedals seems like a major selling point every time i see these. Usually that stuff is gimmicky to me. Not with these tho. Great demo as always andy
Nice work Andy, I can’t help but think if they were to put out a Marshall based pedal and maybe a high gain possibly Mesa based pedal they would sell more of them.
I disagree. The reason they started with these 3 is all of them make a great pedal platform, which is the demographic they're aiming at. The Marshall/Mesa stuff would be a great addition, but these were definitely the right amps to start with.
@@wheelsdetroit8608 I'd be surprised if they don't. If these amps are a success (which it appears they already are) its a no brainer to add more variety to the lineup. One thing I'd add, though, is with amps that you normally set dirtier, an effects loop would probably be manditory. I have the Dream 65, and it's awesome, but I do wish there was a little more headroom. It's starts to break up surprisingly early.
Great demo, Andy. However, I'm not convinced these pedals are worth literally three times the price of a Strymon Iridium or a Walrus ACS1. I've tried out a few amp pedals (own two of them), and they're great... but they still depend heavily on an excellent speaker. I've played live gigs where I decided I'd plug my amp-in-a-box pedal right into the sound board and just hear myself through the monitor. It was a mistake. You end up at the mercy of the sound guy... and a lot of sound guys don't understand how these things work. To ensure good sound, you need to bring your own powered speaker in addition to your amp-in-a-box pedal. Keep that in mind when you budget for these things. Personally, I advise going with an Iridium and using your leftover money on a good powered speaker.
@@SachaJoffre I use an Alto TS312. Runs about $250-300 but you can also find them used. Very clean sound profile with no added coloration (and that's what you want, since the amp-in-a-box pedal is providing all the coloration.) You could also use an existing guitar cabinet if you own one. But if you go that route, you'll need a separate amp pedal to drive the speaker. (These amp-in-a-box pedals can't do it.) For that purpose look into an EXH 44 Magnum, but remember that pedal can ONLY plug into a speaker cabinet, not a powered speaker like the Alto I recommended above. Hope that's helpful!
They don’t cost 3x the Iridium or ACS1 if you don’t buy all 3 pedals. Most of us have a favorite style of amp that we stick with most of the time, at least for each different band or project that we’re involved in. So I would imagine a lot of people with modeling/IR pedals are often just sticking with one model the majority of the time even if the pedal has several different ones available (unless you’re playing in a cover band or something and trying to closely mimic tons of guitar sounds from lots of different bands, in which case these aren’t made for you). While everyone else is trying to be a jack of all trades, UA is just trying to put the most authentic emulation of an amp into a pedal, and I think they definitely succeeded. Regarding live sound, I don’t think a pedal like this relies any more heavily on a good sound engineer than an amp on stage. In fact I think it’s way more foolproof (you already have a perfectly mic’d amp sound with no stage volume to compete with). This is something live sound engineers, like myself, love.
@@Deaddinoproductions These are fair points. Personally I use both the Fender and Vox settings on my Iridium, but keep both relatively clean. (I stay away from the Marshall setting, which seems to lack definition.) To me, having both those settings is really helpful, and then I add pedals as needed. So that would require 2 of these UA pedals to get the same effect (and thus twice the price). Anyway, I wish more live sound engineers were like you. I twice used an Iridium with no on-stage cabinet. The first time, I could hear myself fine in the monitor, but people in the house reported I was way too low in the mix. The second time, I couldn't hear myself in the monitor at all-all I could hear was the other guitarist, who did have an amp on stage. Since then, I've either brought my own powered speaker or gone back to using my amp head and cab (which sound better than any pedal but are obviously very heavy). But if more live sound engineers catch on to the nuances of these pedals, like you have, they'll become more viable in a live setting, and guitarists won't need to bring their own speaker.
🤯 I feel like I’m being left behind. Wait up guys! Wait up for the old man! Jeeze my old brain cells can’t keep pace. They sounded awesome! Every one of them. It’s just so many choices. I just want to play guitar
I'm sure you can do that but I'd be surprised if you find anything better than the onboard cab simulations. UA simulates speaker response and harmonics as well which an IR cannot do. It's a more a physical model of the actual speaker than it is just a mathematical approximation of the sound of one. They can even simulate age on it. You should check out an OX review for detailed info on what they're capable of in that front.
Was excited about these for silent practice. No headphone jack is baffling. If I need an interface after this with a headphone jack, I might as well have a laptop. If I have the laptop out why do I need this pedal... Strymon wins again!
Why would you expect a pedal to have a headphone jack? I’ve seen several people make this statement, and it makes no sense to me. I don’t use headphones at a gig, and at home I have a number of useable headphone amps in devices that would probably be way better than an internal one on a pedal. Having a delicate headphone plug plugged into a pedal I’m stomping on just seems like a recipe for disaster. Any small mixer, sound interface, laptop, or even a pocket headphone amp would do the job admirably. I use my iPad for this when I’m just playing on the couch or out on the back porch, and this also lets me record any ideas that might pop up unexpectedly. Nobody has any of these types of things available??!!? Also, keep in mind that a headphone amp will up the current required to run the unit if you really want to push the phones (and you probably will). Then the whinging about the pedal power requirements begins….
@@audiohub3961 Strymon iridium=headphone jack. Walrus ACS1=headphone jack. Very few people can play at stage volume all time (or ever). People live in apartments, people have children that go to bed early, people want to play in a hotel room when they're on their world tour. But hey, you keep crank'n it to 11 and rock on dude!
@@audiohub3961 I think the appeal would be that you can have this at the end of your pedalbaord as a DI solution and then use it at home to practice with the same pedals/rig you would use at a gig or in a session. I'm not looking for a headphone solution for when I'm plunking out a few chords on the porch. I wish you a happy life.
PGS Andy is a menace and HE MUST BE STOPPED. Everytime I watch one of his demos, I wind up buying a bunch of gear that will never help me to sound like Andy.
Not a fan of the trem on the Dream. Ruby trem is nice. My instinct is to be into the tweed. I like the idea of being accurate, but if they stuck a spring tank and a harmonic trem in the woodrow, it’d be an insta-buy. I’m not into the high gain sounds on these. I do feel there’s too much high frequency information in the sounds overall. I’ve heard a lot of variety in demos of these pedals in terms of how good the sound comes off. A few sound amazing and a few sound more “flat” like this one, which I don’t understand. Still I’m intrigued.
@@MaximilianMengwasser I think it might drive headphones if you used an adapter from the outputs. Kinda weird considering all the competition have a headphone jack.
@@JayDoge Exactly! I would think the UA product will need to be significantly better at doing the one thing than the other options out there that do several. but hey... if someone really really likes (and only needs/wants) a Vox model, then there probably won't be any better options than the UA product. But for someone who needs a little more out of their $400 amp modeller, there are plenty of other options that would probably be almost as good.
I'm not really hearing it with these pedals..... they just seem to lack a certain sweetness and depth. The Ruby sounds boxy as hell to me, not like any real AC30 I've played through. Think I'll stick to Scuffham S-Gear.
@@viceroyraydeen1796 $400?! that's ridiculous. It's literally just an amp sim in a box. If you want an amp sim, AmpliTube has a free version. This UAFX company basically took a free program, put it into a pedal, and is charging people $400 for it...
I dunno about garbage, but certainly not up there with the best sims currently out there. They do sound a bit plasticky. And there's no excuse for not putting all 3 sims in one pedal.
@@nicknickson3650 I'd love to see a free amp sim that even remotely touches UA. :) UA's plugin version of the Fender Tweed costs several hundred dollars and requires UA hardware costing several, several hundred more in order to run it, so this is a bargain of sorts. :) I am not going to disagree that these pedals are very costly but UA gear consistently sounds superb. I had an Iridium and sold it the instant I saw the Dream 65. Frankly, I'd pay a couple of hundred bucks just to avoid having to hook up an audio interface and pull out a phone, tablet or laptop every time I want to play my guitar.
So, how do any/all of these compare with the Strymon Iridium? None of these have a headphone jack, that’s not so great, but genuinely would love to hear some thoughts, or even see an A/B video. Have/love the Iridium; I go into it after my pedalboard , and run it in to my UAD Apollo Twin Duo MkII, which I also am happy with. Seems like the three amp/three cabs each/nine total variations of the Iridium is kinda hard to beat, but otherwise, any thoughts?
These better blow the iridium and ACS1 away, otherwise you're paying the same amount of money for one of these as the iridium, which does all three amps with three cab options each. And even if they do, was it really not possible to put all three amp types into one pedal?
These also have a boost function plus Tremolo and reverbs . Artist presets opening up other tones plus the ability to run 4 cable method defeating the amp SIM . They are also stereo which means they contain 2 separate modelled amps in each unit 😮👍

Fantastic demo
Kudos: you make these sound far better (fantastic) than the other demos so far!
That Woodrow sounds phenomenal, and definitely a sound I don’t have in my kit. Great demo as usual Andy.
Awesome demo! Loved the opening bit. Restrain Your Parental Unit is such a classic.
I own vintage AC30s. This is probably the first simulation/emulation I've heard that sounds very very close to my Ac30.
I hope UA comes out with a JTM45 or Superlead, and/or a JCM800
100% want a Jcm800
JTM45 would be a dream.
There is an ac30 UAD pedal too check it out!
Well, your wish was granted! Universal audio put out the Lion, which I believe is an emulation of the super lead
yea they released the lion i think is like superlead
Being able to change what the foot switches do is so brilliant. If it’s going to be always on anyways than it really doesn’t need an on/off switch. Super cool you can change it up immediately depending on your needs that day.

I really like that tremolo on the Ruby.
so these demos were all just the pedals ? whoooaaa
I legit would buy all of these
Andy - do you see these more as studio tools or live tools? They sound awesome going into your Apollo which is how I would use them.
They are super helpful studio tools but I can easily see the Dream as a pedalboard amp for many players...just go straight to PA in stereo!
One year later, The Edge is allegedly using the Ruby as a replacement for his Vox and Fender amps during U2's Sphere residency.

11:10 Did I just hear you sneak We Will Rock You’s solo into the demo?
It felt appropriate ;)
How well would the ruby work used as a distortion into an actual vox run clean?
They sound awesome!
But no Marshall though? Guess the Woodrow will get you close.
Love to see Andy playing that vintage Greco. MIJ guitars are often better than 'good enough.'

Am I able to go from guitar to UA pedal directly into a 1x12 speaker cabinet? You know, exactly like an amplifier?
Strat sounding guitar is ❤
I love the concept of these pedals….but how are they useful in a live situation without any midi to change the settings?
That’s where the phone/tablet app comes into play. The pedal responds directly from the app. Just keep the app updated.
Hi everyone, does anybody know what is the guitar used on the woodrow part ? It sounds incredible !
I hope Andy will show his right-hand technique one day.
Can cab sim be turned off - then run the pedal into a power amp to guitar speaker? So a preamp basically
Yes. You can turn off the mic/cab.
My BIG question is, can the Dreams reverb and tremolo be used as stand alone affects without amp + cab sim to front of amp?
Yes
I'm sure you can do that but I'd be surprised if you find anything better than the onboard cab simulations. UA simulates speaker response and harmonics as well which an IR cannot do. It's a more a physical model of the actual speaker than it is just a mathematical approximation of the sound of one. They can even simulate age on it. You should check out an OX review for detailed info on what they're capable of in that front.
Sorry. Actually, you can get rid of the cab sim, but not the amp sim. Hope that helps.
Mind blown.
How do they take pedals in front? Sound good?
Has anyone A/B-tested the Woodrow against UAD's "Fender 55" emulation for the Apollo?
The Victory pedal preamps sound like a much better option.

after listening to these audio samples + Anderton's demo, I can say these sound like garbage. WAY too digital sounding. Muffled, lifeless, synthetic.
lol garbage? thats a reach… these sound great.
Garbage may be harsh, but agree that not even Andy’s playing can make these sound worth $400
@@viceroyraydeen1796 $400?! that's ridiculous. It's literally just an amp sim in a box. If you want an amp sim, AmpliTube has a free version.
This UAFX company basically took a free program, put it into a pedal, and is charging people $400 for it...
I dunno about garbage, but certainly not up there with the best sims currently out there. They do sound a bit plasticky. And there's no excuse for not putting all 3 sims in one pedal.
@@nicknickson3650 I'd love to see a free amp sim that even remotely touches UA. :) UA's plugin version of the Fender Tweed costs several hundred dollars and requires UA hardware costing several, several hundred more in order to run it, so this is a bargain of sorts. :) I am not going to disagree that these pedals are very costly but UA gear consistently sounds superb. I had an Iridium and sold it the instant I saw the Dream 65. Frankly, I'd pay a couple of hundred bucks just to avoid having to hook up an audio interface and pull out a phone, tablet or laptop every time I want to play my guitar.
use a pick plz
If you knew who you were talking to and what it is you were asking, you would not have typed that comment.
@@Jonathandavidk damn straight its fucking andy he IS the pick.
So, how do any/all of these compare with the Strymon Iridium? None of these have a headphone jack, that’s not so great, but genuinely would love to hear some thoughts, or even see an A/B video. Have/love the Iridium; I go into it after my pedalboard , and run it in to my UAD Apollo Twin Duo MkII, which I also am happy with. Seems like the three amp/three cabs each/nine total variations of the Iridium is kinda hard to beat, but otherwise, any thoughts?
These better blow the iridium and ACS1 away, otherwise you're paying the same amount of money for one of these as the iridium, which does all three amps with three cab options each. And even if they do, was it really not possible to put all three amp types into one pedal?
@@FakeGlasses yes, that was exactly what I was thinking.
These also have a boost function plus Tremolo and reverbs . Artist presets opening up other tones plus the ability to run 4 cable method defeating the amp SIM .
They are also stereo which means they contain 2 separate modelled amps in each unit 😮👍
