Universal Audio: Fender ‘55 Tweed Deluxe plug-in for UAD-2 & Apollo | Tape Op Magazine | Longform candid interviews with music producers and audio engineers covering mixing, mastering, recording and music production.

The Universal Audio Fender '55 Tweed Deluxe Plug-In is a standout in the realm of amp emulations, showcasing impressive detail and tonal versatility. Its three main controls and unique input options allow for a wide range of sounds, from bright and aggressive to smooth and dark. The meticulous modeling process shines through, giving it an authentic feel that responds beautifully to player dynamics. However, the plug-in's heavy DSP usage may be a drawback for some users. While its price point might deter budget-conscious musicians, the quality and responsiveness could justify the investment for serious players looking to elevate their sound. Overall, this plug-in raises the bar for virtual amplifiers, but it’s not without its limitations.

From the interview:

"I do have an OX. I didn't use it that much, I actually use that right now as a power soak more than anything so I can crank up my old Fenders. On the demos, really the only guitar sound I kept gravitating towards was UA’s ‘55 Deluxe plugin. And it’s an amazing plugin, it sounds just like an old [Fender] Deluxe.

"So what was interesting was I listened to the demos and I really liked the way that kind of amp sounds with these songs, so I went on a hunt for that particular era of Deluxes. I think it’s the 5E3 circuit. It’s very simple but it’s such an incredible sound. There’s a reason Billy Gibbons uses those and so many guys gravitate towards those amps.

“So I found one of those, my buddy Bobby at River City Guitars, I said, “Hey man I’m looking for one of these amps, can you round one up for me?” He found one that was in a studio over in Seattle and it’s pretty much the sound of this record.”
