The UAD Dream '65 Black Friday deal brings the Universal Audio reverb amp plugin to $49, 67% off, with the offer ending Nov 30, 2026.
UAD Dream '65 Reverb Amplifier is a native amp simulator plugin built on the UAFX Dream '65 pedal. The maker says it captures a "golden unit" 1965 reverb combo amp, the kind of American tube amp heard on records for more than 60 years.
Universal Audio says no Apollo hardware is needed to run it. It works in your DAW as a native plugin.
The maker describes bold cleans and a sweet tube breakup, plus tube-driven spring reverb and vibrato. Those two effects are central to the amp's character, and Universal Audio calls this the only plugin that delivers both faithfully.
You get the essential amp controls inside your DAW, so you can dial in a part without leaving the box.
The plugin includes two mods and a clean boost. Universal Audio ties the drive sounds to artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Steve Lukather.
The idea is to give you variations on the same classic amp, the way players modded studio amps back in the day.
Six cab setups ship with the plugin, each with studio mics placed and dynamic room sound:
That covers dynamic, ribbon and condenser mic pairings across single, double and quad speaker layouts.
A collection of presets across musical genres is included. Use them to get recording quickly, or as a starting point to dial in a sound that suits how you play.
The maker says the amp has been used across pop, rock, country, funk and soul, and the presets are curated with that spread in mind.
