Play and Record Through an American Classic

UAD Woodrow '55 Instrument Amp plug-in gives you the legendary tweed amp sounds used by The Eagles to Chuck Berry to Neil Young.* Built on renowned UAD modeling that we’ve perfected over decades, UAD Woodrow '55 gives you the punchy cleans and rich overdrive of an American classic, right in your DAW.

Get Real Deal Tweed Tone

To recreate one of the most coveted guitar amps ever made, we left no stone unturned. Beneath its simple three-knob control panel, we captured the entire circuit — from caps and potentiometers to output tubes and transformer — so you get all the rich harmonics, tube sag, and gritty overdrive of the real thing.

Explore the Greatest Studio Amp Ever Made

The 5E3 tweed deluxe is a legendary studio amp, known for its touch-sensitive overdrive, natural compression, and rich harmonics. Now you can experience the same tones heard on classic albums like Harvest and Exile on Main St. to modern recordings by the likes of Joe Bonamassa, Jason Isbell, and Ariel Posen.*

Easy Reamping, Right Inside Your DAW

Transform your dry guitar tracks with legendary tweed sound — no mics or live room required. With UAD Woodrow '55, simply take your clean DI signal and reamp it through perfectly modeled tube circuits, authentic speaker responses, and expertly-placed virtual mics.

Dial up the Perfect Mic & Speaker Pairing

Go beyond the experience of playing the real amp with six classic speaker setups, perfectly-placed studio mics, and dynamic room sounds.

Find Your Sound Fast with Presets

Choose from a collection of presets from top guitarists and tweed amp aficionados. From crispy country cleans to raunchy overdriven rock tones, UAD Woodrow '55 takes the humble tweed amp circuit and gives you endless possibilities for your modern productions.

What They Say

From big beautiful cleans to exploding fuzz tones, Woodrow '55 gives me a massive range of exceptional sounds that are next level!

Scott Holiday

Rival Sons

It’s rare to find vintage tweed amps in a studio. Thankfully Woodrow ’55 gives me the same classic, biting tones of the amp used on all of my favorite rock and roll albums. What a gift.

Nathan Willett

Woodrow ’55 feels fantastic and the tones are killer. It’s a wicked little amp to have right in your DAW.
