Universal Audio has introduced a new amplifier effect plugin which aims to bring the sound of Dumble Amplifiers’ Overdrive Special amps. The UAD Enigmatic ’82 Overdrive Special Amp lets users tweak their own ODS circuit and explore 9 classic mic and speaker pairings.
We sourced the best ODS amps available, capturing early Santa Cruz models to later versions heard on famous LA sessions. And now they’re yours to enjoy, without the six-figure price tag.
Whether you favor intricate chord work or expressive lead playing, you’ll instantly find that classic ODS sound that responds to every nuance of your playing and cuts right through the mix.
