Universal Audio UAD Ruby '63 Top Boost Amplifier Plug-In

Universal Audio UAD Ruby '63 Top Boost Amplifier Plug-In is the UAD Native software version of the company's amp-in-the-box Dream '65 Reverb Amplifier effect pedal, which you can now use in your DAW—no Apollo required. The plug-in perfectly captures the quintessential British valve-amp tones beloved by artists and producers for over 60 years, from Queen, to U2, to Radiohead.

Push the Limit with Classic Boosts

Ruby '63 packs in emulations of classic boost pedals. Universal Audio included the legendary '60s Dallas Rangemaster germanium treble booster and the preamp of a '70s Maestro EP-3 tape delay.

Just flip the Boost switch for searing layered tones that add even more character to the amp.
