Product Description
The native Universal Audio UAD Ruby '63 Top Boost Amplifier plug-in gives you the quintessential British valve amp tones beloved by artists and producers for over 60 years, from Queen to U2 to Radiohead. Based on the award-winning UAFX pedal, the Ruby '63 plug-in serves up choirboy cleans, complex overdrive, and classic vibrato effects — just like a prized vintage Top Boost amp. Plus you'll get classic boost effects, room sound, and a collection of perfectly mic'd speaker cabs.
GET LEGIT BRITISH TUBE AMP TONE IN YOUR DAW
The UAD Ruby '63 plug-in gives you the inspiring, album‑ready tone of an expertly miked "golden unit" Top Boost amp, within seconds. Based on the award-winning UAFX pedal, you get all the controls that make this amp a must-have for recording pop, rock, metal, country, and more.
EXPLORE NORMAL, BRILLIANT, AND VIBRATO CHANNELS
UAD Ruby '63 gives you the Normal, Brilliant, and Vibrato channels from the original amp — so you can fly to Ireland, London, or Liverpool with the flip of a switch. From mellow to chime to grind, it's all in here, with the unmatched sound and feel of a truly iconic amp.
PUSH THE LIMIT WITH CLASSIC BOOSTS
Ruby '63 packs emulations of classic boost pedals, right onboard. Namely, we've 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.
