    Perhaps it's me?

    Perhaps it's me? .....Maybe I'm just not setting things correctly but I find getting a good sound ( not distorted or strident) when using the app very difficult and limited. Especially compared to the "pedal" version which I also have and works well.

    OK for what it is

    Was hoping for something with more headroom, thats on me. It sounds nice when cranked up. Distortion is smooth. But not the cleans I wanted. Not quite as robust sounding thumpiness as I get on NAM or sims. It has a thinner duller sound to me. Limited IRs are not an issue because you can just load your own. I guess I'm more a Twin guy.

    The Definitive Fender Amp Plug-in!

    Before buying the Dream '65, I had spent years searching for a plug-in that could truly capture the sound of a Fender amp without sounding dull. I was familiar with the original UAFX pedal and its alternatives, but I was a little bummed it wasn’t available in plug-in form. Nothing I tried could quite capture the sweetness of the amp, and they all had a sound I wasn't looking for, even if they still sounded great! As soon as I saw that the Dream '65 was released as a plug-in, I demoed it right away and it immediately blew me away! It’s hands down the best Fender-style amp plug-in I’ve ever used. While I’ve never played a real one, it’s genuinely impossible to make it sound bad, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for that classic tone at the touch of a button!

    Workable amp

    Got a few problems with gain staging and getting a clean, loud sound at first.

    Still, solid amp

    Amazing plugin.

    As someone who has played extensively through an original Fender Deluxe Reverb, I can confidently say the UA Dream plugin nails the tone. The warmth, clarity, and natural breakup feel just like the real amp. What really sets it apart, though, is how it lets you push boundaries—experimenting with cranked-up tones and mic setups that would be insanely loud (and impractical) on the actual amp. It’s the perfect blend of authenticity and creative freedom. Highly recommended for anyone chasing that vintage tone without the volume war.
