• Experience Authentic Plexi Tone Inside your DAW: Get the inspiring tone and feel of three expertly miked "golden unit" 100-watt plexi amp heads. This plug-in offers sonic realism far beyond other emulations, providing all the controls that make this amp a must-have for nearly every genre directly within your Digital Audio Workstation.
• Plug In to Legendary Super Lead Sound: The Lion '68 faithfully captures the bell-like cleans, aggressive kerrang, and soaring distortion of a vintage, hand-picked Super Lead head. It delivers tones that genuinely jump from your speakers and electrify your nervous system, giving your guitar tracks unparalleled presence and impact.
• Get Classic Super Bass Tones: For moments when you need less aggression, a spongier attack, and more clean headroom, the Lion '68's Super Bass mode is your go-to. This jaw-dropping emulation of a classic plexi amp variant was a particular favorite of Jimi Hendrix, offering rich, nuanced low-end dynamics.
• Go Brown for Hot-Rodded Heaven: Achieve the legendary “brown sound” – ground zero for hot-rodded Super Lead tones, famously pioneered by Van Halen. From the sag of a voltage-starved Super Lead amp to the specific blend of a mixed Celestion 25-watt "Greenback"/JBL D-120F 4x12 cabinet, you'll get the aggressive sizzle, softer midrange attack, and pristine string-to-string definition that inspired generations of guitarists.
• Add Authentic Boosts: Take your crunch and searing lead tones even further with tried-and-true boost recipes built right into the plug-in. With the turn of a knob, you can engage inspiring emulations of a Maestro EP-III preamp and a Boss GE-10 ten-band EQ, adding extra character and drive to your sound.
