Get Legit British Tube Amp Tone in your DAW

The UAD Ruby ‘63 plug-in gives you the inspiring, album‑ready tone of an expertly miked "golden unit" Top Boost amp, within seconds. Based on the award-winning UAFX pedal, you get all the controls that make this amp a must-have for recording pop, rock, metal, country, and more.

Explore Normal, Brilliant, and Vibrato Channels

UAD Ruby '63 gives you the Normal, Brilliant, and Vibrato channels from the original amp — so you can fly to Ireland, London, or Liverpool with the flip of a switch. From mellow to chime to grind, it's all in here, with the unmatched sound and feel of a truly iconic amp.

Push the Limit with Classic Boosts

Ruby '63 packs emulations of classic boost pedals, right onboard. Namely, we've included the legendary '60s Dallas Rangemaster germanium treble booster and the preamp of a '70s Maestro EP-3 tape delay.** Just flip the Boost switch for searing layered tones that add even more character to the amp.

I'm a huge fan of tube amps. UAD Ruby '63 is intuitive, convenient, and sounds incredible... A dream studio tool!

    Amazing

    This is the best gtr amp emulation software for me. Really beautiful authentic sounds. I would have liked a few mic’ing options but it’s not a killer.

    Would be more user-friendly for me if enabled for Unison. I’ve just moved over to silicone Mac but my 2017 iMac would have really struggled with latency

    The best

    I have just about every amp Sim suite, couldn't this one though, and good thing. It is immediately my go to - for both sounds and ease of use. If you are looking for excellent legacy sounds, imo this is the best.

    Truly The BEST AC30 Emulation Available

    For me, the Ruby is the best emulation of an AC-30 available, specifically in that through good studio monitors, it has both the tone and feel of a real amp.

    It’s the first modeler I’ve played that no longer leaves me wanting a real amp.
