Discover Authentic Super Lead Sound
Lion '68 is the only amp-in-a-box pedal that faithfully captures the bell-like cleans, aggressive kerrang, and soaring distortion of a vintage hand-picked Super Lead head, giving you tones that jump from your speakers and electrify your nervous system.
Get Classic Super Bass Tones for your Pedal Platform
Looking for less aggression with a spongier attack and more clean headroom? Lion '68's Super Bass will get you there, with a jaw-dropping emulation of this classic plexi variant — perfect for auditioning overdrives, fuzzes, reverbs, and more.
Go Brown for the Ultimate in a Modified Super Lead
The guitar tone on Van Halen is ground zero for "hot-rodded" Super Lead tones. From the sag of a voltage-starved Super Lead amp to the split Celestion 25-watt "Greenback"/JBL D-120F 4x12 cabinet, you'll get the meaty sizzle, softer attack, and string-to-string definition that inspired generations of guitarists.
Add Authentic Boosts
Only Lion '68 lets you take your crunch and searing lead tones further with tried-and-true boost recipes — including a Maestro EP-III preamp, Boss GE-10 ten-band EQ, and classic Variac and bias adjustments — at the turn of a knob.**
