UAD = best great plugins
As a big fan of UAD for many years, it's clear that I won't be switching companies. All the plugins are excellent. Very similar if not the same as the originals - hardware BUT at a very affordable cost vs hardware. And it's practical because you can carry it everywhere. Even on a beach in California or named it. An industry standard.

Fender Twin Reverb sound for a song.
I don't often need the Fender Twin sound but, at the price UAD sells this SIM, It is a steal. And, ot sounds identical.

Just misses the Apollo or Unisson feature
Sounds amazingly well. Just doesn't make sense to implement it a native plugin (with latency) when you have a full size racked Apollo. Please update it (and the Ruby and Lion) with the Unisson feature or as an Apollo plugin at least

An improvement over the Softube version
I own the Softube made Marshall Plexi SL plugin too, and my initial impression is that the UAD Lion is a definite improvement over that version. Although I def love the interface on Softube's design, the amp sits front and center with all the dials. Although, the way the rest of the menu is hidden away, kind of takes away a bit from that, and that's where this version from UAD is superior. Though purely cosmetic, I wish that once you select an amp and cab in Lion, that you could bring it front and center in a big way, WITH the cab. There's just something visceral about seeing an amp in front of you...especially a Marshall. I am aware that you can change the size of the entire window of the plugin, but that's not what I mean, I'm talking about a different visual where the rest of the interface disappears, with just the Amp and Cab remaining in all its glorious worn edges and look, with the light on as you use the plugin, and off when you turn it off. And with the possibility of tweaking the dials, without having to fiddle with the rest of the options such as reverb, gate, and even the cab. Another additional interface, albeit, more cosmetic, and less about function. Just the amp/cab in all its black and golden glory!
The most important thing however, is the sound, and there's a def improvement there too. Whereas Softubes version has harsher Treble notes, they cut, but not always in a nice way, and you can get that on this UAD too, but I like that the icy sharp highs can be managed better here, none the least for the addition of the BOOSTERS which allow you to shape the sound even more. That's a BIG bonus with Lion. It's like getting extra pedals free! From UAD especially, that's more bonus points for them.
The cabs in Lion have been whittled down to a few good options, including going direct, which is also an improvement over Softube which has a huge amount of other cabs, but only as options from a drop down menu. You don't actually always know what the actual difference is, you just have to go by your ears, which takes forever with 99 options. That's where I like this far more focused option from UAD Lion. This adds to the sense of realism as well.
Overall I wanted to give it 4.5 stars, but they're getting 5 since I don't see an option for halves. Really great plugin, I may have to go for the Ruby now...

Ruby needs Unison 63+
Fast and simple to use for workhorse guitar sounds. Easy to keep in the track for adjustments when mixing. There should be a Unison version included.
B. Ward
Lion needs Unison 68+
Fast and simple to use for clean and crunchy guitar sounds. Easy to keep in the track for adjustments when mixing. There should be a Unison version included.

Dream of Unison version 65+
Fast and simple to use for decent guitar sounds. Easy to keep in the track for adjustments when mixing. There should be a Unison version included.

Great Amp Plugins!
The Ruby 63, Lion 68, and Dream 65 plugins are worth your time and money. I am running them in Logic Pro X on a MacBook Air M1 2020 model; I found the tweaks to each nicely done and not overly complex to get the sounds I wanted. I look forward to recording some more with them in the future.

good
very realistic!

Completely useless as a tracking plugin
It cannot be added to a Unison slot, so the latency with record monitoring is super high, even with the lowest buffer size (32). Too bad. If it would have a standalone version it would make sense, but this way it's useless for tracking.

I finally bought the hardware version
Very good sounding plug-in. Unfortunately only native and not for Unison. I finally decided to buy the hardware version of the Dream 65.

A lot of useful guitar tones!
I jumped on the UAD Guitar Amp Bundle and the free year of Spark. I was a little disappointed that the amp models are not Unison amps, but I found the three amp simulations to be very useful when dealing with DI tracks. I find myself using my Quad Cortex for amp tones and then recording a DI as well. Later I can drop the DI into the Ruby, Dream, or Lion and get some great tones that sit perfectly in a mix. I love the flexibility of this workflow, but I would probably skip the QC all together (and maybe even sell it) if I could use these like the Tweed UA amp and and just plug right into them. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Any how, for the price... this bundle was a complete no brainer. I am using the Spark plugins all the time and saving a ton of money off the subscription price. I can't really knock a star off considering that.

Disappointed!
Unfortunately, it's a different league than Softube. The first plug-ins from UA, which for me are simply poor. The sound is plastic and lacks bite. On the other hand, you can play delicate phrases and it sounds quite nice.

Thanks again UA!!!
The work they are doing with guitar amp emulations is incredible! I was previously a fan of another well-known company until I tried Lion and Dream 65. Please UA keep an eye on high gain amps

My new favorite amp emulation
Love the clean tones I can get from this as well as the crunchy and crisp distortion! My new favorite amp emulation
C. Peñaranda
Thanks UA!
For a long time I'm looking for a good enulation of an Fender amp. Without fear of exaggeration I can say that today UA won my heart, I can't let go of my guitar, the feel under my fingers is very addictive and realistic
