SKU: GPM-RUBY
In 2021, music hardware/software experts Universal Audio launched their first line of guitar effects pedals — aptly-named the UAFX series! Bringing the same class-leading innovation and ease-of-use of its pro audio products to a tactile, plug-and-play stompbox format — the forward-thinking brand has now expanded its UAFX range with three "amp-in-a-box" pedals based on iconic, vintage tone machines from the '50s and '60s.
The UAFX Ruby '63 Top Boost amp pedal emulates a quintessential British valve combo beloved by artists and producers for over 60 years, from Queen to U2 and Radiohead. Built on powerful dual-engine processing and acclaimed UAD modelling, the Ruby '63 is designed to deliver "chimey" cleans, complex overdrive, and classic vibrato — all from a compact unit that easily fits on your pedalboard!
Key Features
- UAFX dual-engine provides the most convincing '60s British valve combo sound ever placed into a stompbox!
- Includes the world's best speaker cabinet, mic, and room tones — derived from the award-winning OX Amp Top Box.
- Features "hot rod" treble booster, preamp boost, and speaker swaps; plus free additional downloadable speaker cabs and mics upon registration.
- Bypass cabinet/mic emulations and use in front of your amp like a conventional pedal, for added tonal flavour and overdrive sounds.
- UAFX mobile app lets you customise footswitches, recall and archive your presets, unlock additional features, download artist presets, and more!
- Timeless UA design and craftsmanship, built to last decades.
Bold, British Amp Tones for the Stage & Studio
The small, lightweight UAFX Ruby '63 pedal serves up the record-ready sounds of a big, impeccably-captured vintage tube amp within seconds. It's incredibly convincing tones make it more than capable of replacing your cumbersome amp rig — letting you connect to a front-of-house system for live performance, or record tracks direct to your studio's DAW.
3 Channels: Normal, Brilliant & Vibrato
Universal Audio's Ruby '63 mimics the 'Normal', 'Brilliant', and 'Vibrato' channels from the original amp on which it is based. This means that you can fly to Ireland, London, or Liverpool with just the flick of a switch! From mellow, to chime and grind — all the amazing "AC" tones are here.
Create a Racket with Classic UK Boosts!
A trio of built-in boosts, based on legendary circuits, let you really push the Ruby '63 to the limit. Namely, the coveted '60s Dallas Rangemaster germanium treble booster and the preamp of a '70s Maestro EP-3 tape delay. Just flip the dedicated boost switch for searing, layered tones that'll always inspire you!
