The Universal Audio UAFX Dream '65 Reverb Amp pedal provides guitarists with the iconic sound of a vintage tube combo amplifier and spring reverb unit. This innovative pedal, from the experts at Universal Audio, utilizes their groundbreaking Dynamic Room Modeling technology to capture every nuance of a legendary 1x12" tube combo—from the preamp to the power amp to the spring reverb tank and speaker. The result is an incredibly lifelike recreation of one of the most recorded guitar amps of the 1960s that delivers everything from sparkling cleans to saturated overdrive with the stomp of a footswitch.

Three Amp Voicings Provide a Wealth of Tonal Options

The Dream '65 offers three distinct amp voicings—Stock, Lead and D-Tex—each with its own sonic fingerprint. The Stock voicing recreates the original amp in all its glory with lush, crystalline cleans. The Lead voicing has an aggressive midrange punch for searing lead lines. The D-Tex voicing is a Texas-inspired hot-rodded version with increased gain and midrange for a smooth, overdriven tone. A Boost control provides up to 10dB of clean gain to push each voicing into overdrive.

Authentic Spring Reverb and Vibrato Complete the Vintage Experience

No vintage tube combo amp is complete without the lush, dimensional sound of spring reverb and warbling vibrato. The Dream '65's reverb and vibrato effects are modeled from an iconic "golden unit" amplifier to deliver an immersive sonic experience that transports players back to the halcyon days of rock and roll. Adjustable Reverb and Vibrato controls allow you to dial in the perfect amount of each effect.

Dynamic Speaker Modeling Provides Lifelike Tone

At the heart of the Dream '65's incredibly realistic tone are the expertly crafted speaker cabinet simulations. The pedal includes models of three speaker and microphone combinations: a Celestion Greenback 25W, an Electro-Voice EVM12L, and an original Oxford 12K5. Registering the pedal with Universal Audio provides access to additional speaker models for an even wider range of tones. The speaker models are seamlessly matched to the three amp voicings to provide an end-to-end capture of this vintage tube combo's sound.

Enhanced Control Via Bluetooth App

The Dream '65's capabilities are expanded via the Universal Audio UAFX Control app which provides enhanced editing parameters, access to artist presets and more. The app allows you to customize the pedal's footswitches, save and recall your own presets, and unlock additional features. Bluetooth connectivity makes pairing the pedal and app a snap.

    This is exactly what I was looking for. The spring reverb sounds just like the real reverb unit in a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb and the tremolo is spot on as well. As for versatility from clean to overdriven it's got it. It has great headroom and is touch and volume sensitive. STOKED!!!

    I like that I don't have to use all these menus, though you can use an app for more versatility if you want to. I have three Princeton amps and a Marshall 18 watt. I like that I can get a nice overdrive sound with the Dream '65 through my tube amps.

    This thing truly is a "dream" to play. The different amp and cabinet sounds are quite flexible and easy to dial in. I don't miss using a tube amp whatsoever. Playing the pedal through the Fender Frfr sounds so real and feels great.

    Using this to slim down my touring rig. I get all the sounds I want and now won't have to lug around my amps.

    This is the only pedal unit that I have found that sounds like the tremolo channel of the DLX Reverb. It is absolutely great live. It takes pedals extremely well.

    How does this sound when recording directly into a DAW (eg GarageBand)?Can you use the USB-C direct into your computer or do you have to use a 1/4 cable input through an interface (eg Scarlett)?

    A pedal has nothing to do with a recording. It will sound the same as from an amp, if you do it correctly. 2) No, the USB is to update. You need an interface.

    How does this sound through the front of an amp? If I pull the trigger on getting thus, I'll more than likely use 4-cables, but just wondering.

    Can you run the Dream 65 directly into a mixer/PA via 1/4" TS (not TRS) cable or do you need to first run it into an interface or DAW?

    Yes you can. The pedal puts out pretty much what a guitar does and the 1/4" input will accept it.
