Scary close to the real thing
Having used many early 60's AC30s (Top Boost / modded) in the past, and still owning an all original mid 60's AC30 Treble, well all I can say is this pedal lives up to the hype, to me. If you know old Vox amps you will know the quirks that contribute to the overall magic, and this has all of that, and all that one would expect from the real thing. The cab choices are excellent, so much variety of tones. So don't just stick it on the Blue speakers and leave it at that, try them all. The silver is excellent. They all are. So, the potential complaint of only one modelled amp in a modern sim seems kind of redundant to me. A huge variety of tones here. The Room option is excellent also. I usually very much dislike amp sims in terms of feel 😃. But well, this is quite different, to me. Most importantly: like a good old Vox when you dig in it kind of sinks, like a compression, is bouncy, reacts so well to dynamics when playing. In summary, so far I've used it in a live setting just direct into another clean amp, with and without the cab sim on, both sounded great, also direct into audio interface for recording, even better. Finally - yes if one was able to bridge the Normal and Brilliant inputs for maximum control that would be cool, though not sure how they'd be able to practically do that with a pedal. But that's certainly not a deal breaker to me. I'm still a bit flabbergasted by this pedal. That's my 2 cents. Thanks to Thomann for great customer service also!

Vox (&More) in a Little Box
UA pedals are just the real deal! They are Perfecting the emulation of the sound of ANYthing! It doesn’t get any better and besides appearing expensive, the pedals recreate some iconic sound of music’s history with 1/3 or 1/4 of the price from the original amp!
Bottom line, I can have a Vox AC30 , Fender Deluxe Reverb and a Fender Tweed Deluxe for less than the price of one of the originals , with every aspect perfectly accurate !

Possibly the best of the amp-in-a-box pedals
The best offering from UA, as far as I'm concerned, having also tried the Dream '65 and Woodrow. The Ruby is a well-built powerhouse pedal with a lot of tone shaping ability, and some fantastic tones. It produces a great drive - crisp and well-defined - and pairs with other drive pedals well ('m running a Mythos WW Mjolnir into it, and it roars!). The built in tremolo is a nice touch, too.
The controls can be a *little* tricky to begin; I found the multi-function controls a bit difficult, but soon enough they're easy to master. I'd recommend reading the documentation with this one, to make sure you get the absolute most from this great unit.

Amazing Vox in a box, can you tell the difference?
Another win for UA in the UAFX series, it's like having a AC30 in a pedal... such a great rich sound with lot of combination from the cab models and presets from the app. Look at the review everywhere, usually you have pro/cons vs real amp but it seems this one takes it all to pros!
