The Universal Audio Ruby '63 Top Boost Amplifier Pedal is a stereo amp and cabinet emulation pedal with vibrato, room modeling, multiple speakers, cabinets, and boosts, live and preset modes, and customization with the UAFX mobile app. Get the British Invasion tones that inspired generations!

The UAFX Ruby '63 Top Boost Amplifier pedal gives you the quintessential British valve amp beloved by artists and producers for over 60 years, from Queen to U2 to Radiohead. Built on powerful dual-engine processing and world-class UAD modeling, Ruby '63 delivers choirboy cleans, complex overdrive, and classic vibrato.

Deliver British Tube Amp Tones, Stage and Studio
Whether it's replacing your amp rig and going direct to front-of-house on stage, or recording tracks into your DAW — Ruby '63 gives you the inspiring, album-ready tones of an expertly miked "golden unit" vintage tube combo, within seconds.

Explore Normal, Brilliant, and Vibrato Channels
Ruby '63 is the only stompbox that 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 here.

Push the Limit with Classic UK Boosts
Ruby '63 packs classic boosts, right onboard. Namely, 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 put IR-based amp modelers in the bin.*

Take Your Tone to the Tailor
With built-in mic and speaker pairings from UA’s award-winning OX Amp Top Box, Ruby '63 lets you tailor your classic Brit amp tones like you took them to Savile Row.

    I keep the Ruby on my desk plugged into my interface and I use it almost daily. This is the best Vox amp sim that I used and I like it for clean, jangly stuff as well as the crazy driven Brian May stuff. As with all UA pedals, I really wish this had more presets and MIDI. For most other UA pedals, this would knock my rating down to a 4, but this one just sounds so good that I'm keeping it as a 5.

What We Think

For me the Ruby is the clean tone and foundation tone pedal. It is the "most amp" pedal of the bunch. Maybe because I personally use a British amp as the core of my personal tone, but this pedal has a body that is smile inducing. The cleans can be rich and warm, to bodied and brilliant. Then get a slightly gritty tone from it as a foundation and push the pedal with another pedal (whether that be your favorite rodent, tube screamer, or the Universal Audio Dream pedal). The Ruby is quite flexible. This one as my kind of magic to it.
