UAFX Woodrow '55, Ruby Top Boost '63 & Dream '65 Amp Pedals | Reverb Tone Report

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.

[kbirridia]

Kudos: you make these sound far better (fantastic) than the other demos so far!

[Martos]

That Woodrow sounds phenomenal, and definitely a sound I don’t have in my kit. Great demo as usual Andy.

[kevinlt]

Awesome demo! Loved the opening bit. Restrain Your Parental Unit is such a classic.

[NuclearDeathWalk]

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

[kirkpedersen]

That absolutely beautiful metallic orange guitar appears to be a Nik Huber Twangmeister, in case anyone else was wondering like I was. :)

[Lightspeed]

Andy allways brings the tones an sound corresponding to the famous originals that we all have in memory from the also famous

[NobleJamsRock]

This is one of the best sounding demos I’ve heard so far. Thanks Andy!

[countstoneula]

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. 😂

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.

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.

[mikegoodwin]

Nice song, perfect use of the classic tones they are known for,

[tommypedaldemo]

Great demo!
I'm always impressed with your performance.

[ndavies]

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.

[JR]

Any way we can hear this pedal through a power amp? Maybe a Fryette power station and a room mic? Would be cool to hear!

[starflyer]

Three grand slam home runs in one demo. Great job Andy!!! ⚾️

[Martos]

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!!

[siavashmassoudi]

11:10 Did I just hear you sneak We Will Rock You’s solo into the demo?

[russmendelson]

Andy, you're the best man thanks!

[pastelcia]

How well would the ruby work used as a distortion into an actual vox run clean?
