Awesome stuff. Telecasters are so underrated :D

Awesome, I’m gonna try it with my tele :). Been a while since I played that one, I’m sure I need to relearn some parts!

All just volume pot and chorus on/off

Sounds great!

Wondering how many people blindfolded would say they are listening to a real Marshall amp. :unsure:

All I know is when I close my eyes I feel like a rock star. Then I try to play like a rock star and quickly have to open my eyes again :). It is very responsive to dynamics though, I forgot to agree with that in my previous post. Even just changing attack can go from clean to gritty. It’s pretty convincing and sounds great.

You are a rock star, bro! Just keep playing. 🤘

Thanks guys. Not the best video visually and some bends over and all.
But the sound has a depth and it really does sound (and feel) like a cranked amp on a big stage. I also think the gate does an amazing job, there is no flutter when dialing back the guitar and it's dead quiet when it's supposed to.

Well done! Apart from you know where it probably sounds better than the original recording. I am not too sure about your stage outfit though... :)

Great example. Sounds amazing. The Lion 68 is my first UA pedal and I’m blown away by it. My 50 watt Plexi has sat for a few weeks without being turned on. I tested it all kinds of ways and like to run it into my line 6 HXFX unit for some sparsely applied effects, out to a couple solid state pedal power amps pushing 3 real cabs - two 112’s and one 212. That’s where it ended up and will stay.

I was watching a video of Ramble On (It Might Get Loud) where Jimmy Page is demonstrating “light and shade“ of dynamics and playing the clean parts of Ramble On with his neck pickup and then flipping to his bridge pickup with guitar volume up and into some great rock gain. I’ve been recreating it with the Lion 68 and it’s all there for me. I just feel like this is the first bit of digital modeling that’s all there for me. Playing the amp and getting a variety of tones and going clean to kerrang! all by adjusting volume and tone knobs on my guitar is the fun of playing Plexi amps. The Lion 68 gets it. I don’t wish I was playing my 50 watt Plexi. It’s got it. This is the biggest complaint I see about modeling, so it’s fantastic that it’s been addressed with the Lion 68. The Presence and TMB tonestack dial in just like my Plexi too. It’s just like dialing in an amp. Great job on the pedal. I have been really satisfied playing mine. All my favorite sounds are there. The linear increase in gain from preamp to power amp is there too for me. I just use the cleanest SS power amp I can find pushing my cabs and let the pedal do all that big sound.

Great demo of clean to mean. It excels at doing that IMO.
