The UAD Ruby '63 Top Boost amp plugin gives guitarists and producers the quintessential vintage British tone that defined rock and roll. Based on Universal Audio's award-winning UAFX pedal, the Ruby '63 emulates a prized '60s-era Top Boost amp to deliver everything from chimey cleans to complex overdrive and throbbing vibrato. With legendary speaker cabinet and mic pairings, plus classic boost pedal emulations, this plugin lets you dial in album-ready guitar sounds in seconds.

Dial in Iconic '60s British Tone

The Ruby '63 plugin authentically captures the sound and feel of a vintage Top Boost amp from the golden age of rock. Its Normal, Brilliant and Vibrato channels provide a wealth of tones from mellow and chimey to aggressive grind. The Ruby '63 responds and interacts with your guitar just like the original amp, giving you an unmatched playing experience in your DAW.

Push Your Tone Further With Boost Pedals

The Ruby '63 also models two classic boost pedals to help you cut through the mix. Engage the '60s Dallas Rangemaster treble booster for extra sizzle and bite. Flip on the Maestro EP-3 preamp emulation for thick, saturated tones. With the boost pedals, you can achieve the layered, pushed tones that defined the era.

Mic Legendary Cabinets for a Perfect Studio Sound

The Ruby '63 provides six classic speaker cabinet and mic combinations to capture your ideal guitar tone. Mics like the Shure SM57 are paired with Celestion Blue, Green and Gold speakers. With studio-quality room simulations, these pro mic and cab pairings deliver album-ready sounds in seconds.

Find Inspiration Fast With Professionally Crafted Presets

The Ruby '63 comes packed with genre-based presets to get you recording quickly. Presets span rock, pop, funk, country and more. Tweak the controls to customize the presets to your needs. Or build your own tone from scratch using the Ruby '63's intuitive interface. Whether you want to recreate a classic sound or forge your own style, the Ruby '63 puts legitimate Top Boost tone and vibe at your fingertips.
