Universal Audio Ruby Top Boost Amplifier ’63

Description

Inspired by the legendary 2 x 12-inch combo amplifier that powered the British invasion, Universal Audio’s Ruby ’63 Top Boost amp pedal is loaded with jangle and bite! This pedal is an end-to-end emulation of one of the most iconic British amps of the ‘60s, sporting Brilliant, Normal, and Vibrato channels that deliver everything from chimey cleans to all-out crunch. Guitarists  are amazed at how closely the Ruby ’63 recreates the sound of a tube amp recorded in a live room, and this life-like quality comes courtesy of UA’s incredible mic, cab, and Dynamic Room Modeling technology. What’s more, each pedal in the UAFX series allows you to bypass your amplifier’s preamp when the pedal is engaged via the special “4-cable” mode, supercharging your amp with two additional channels. If you’re looking for even greater control, the Ruby ’63 sports Bluetooth compatibility to connect to Universal Audio’s UAFX app for enhanced editing, access to artist presets, and more!

AMP TONES

Ruby ’63 comes loaded with three different channels for a wealth of sonic possibilites. Plus, depending on which channel you’re using, the boost control offers unique way to add some character to your tone!

Normal: Looking for a chimey clean tone? This setting features a high amount of headroom and simplified tone controls. As a nod to the original model, this setting’s only EQ shaping control is the Cut knob — both the Bass and Treble knobs are completely disabled. Turning the boost knob activates a germanium-style treble booster.
Brilliant: The perfect mode for guitarists chasing a ‘60s-style British tube crunch. This setting has the lowest amount of headroom and incorporates an extra tube for boosted treble and gain. In this mode, the boost injects a tape delay-inspired style of preamp gain into your signal.

Vibrato: This setting is similar to the Brilliant channel, but with the addition of a deep, choppy vibrato setting. To keep things smooth and clear, this setting’s boost control adds clean gain.
