Better Sounding
Jacky O 13.12.2022
Than mij real tube amps. The app that goes with it is fantastisc. I dial in and save the sound for each of my guitars. Works sooo easy. I gigged with it and it was fantastic. I took this and an Orange Tiny Terror Stamp. Just put the Dream ' 65 in the loop-return of the Stamp and used that as a power amp. And could transport this in my guitar gig bag! Just a gig bag with guitar and amp and a small 10" Raging Cajun speaker cab. Sound was awsome. best buy 'ever'

Actually does what it says on the tin :D
Jonathan Killstring 04.12.2022
Better than the real thing? Eh, who cares: it's delightful, sounds and feels great, and allows for classic cranked California sounds without reaching volumes that will explode household pets.

Reverb sounds right.
Tremolo sounds right.
Feels responsive.
Even has the same overpowering bass response when cranked (cutting lows before hitting the amp is recommended: but the result is a sludgy grunge tone that would make your flannel shirts proud)

It's quite good!

State of the art amp/speaker in a pedal
Mark T 10.08.2022
The Dream 65 is a really accurate simulation of a real Deluxe Reverb. I'm not able to compare it side by side with the real tube amp, but this is good enough for most, if not, all purposes. It beats the Deluxe sound from the Strymon Iridium by a comfortable margin.

The reverb and tremolo are useful, but not quite as versatile as the Strymon Flint. But if you're content with the basic sounds then you have them built in here with the UAFX pedal.

Kemper Killer
Slayerpossie 04.12.2022
Sold my Kemper which I bought almost 10 years ago. This pedal is the perfect amp replacement easily worth twice the money. Extremely versatile, durably built and simply stunning sounding. My tube amps are collecting dust.

this is honestly perfect for me
purpleprose 10.11.2022
Really easy to use, has replaced my amp so gigs are easy. No messing around just plug in and play. My pedal all run through it with no issues. I'm so happy. The sound is just lush, and it's easy to tweak so you can really get the right sound for you.

K
simpele amp sim voor pedalen en clean
Kapser 19.09.2024
Ik had een stereo amp sim nodig voor opnames en oefenen direct in , bruikbaar in combinatie met mijn vele pedalen. Ik koos de (dure) Dream. Hij leek simpel, zou een uitzonderlijk goed geluid hebben, met mooie cleans en geschikt voor pedalen. Bijna een echte amp, werd beweerd.
En dat levert de Dream ook allemaal. In het begin wel even verschieten omdat de volume knop in feite eerder een gain knop is. Deze blijft best op heel laag (eerste kwartier) staan als je cleans wil. Reverb en tremolo zijn mooi. De Dream geeft een mooie heldere definitie aan de ruwe klank. Haalt de modder eruit en maakt de bassen tegelijk vol, de highs prachtig rond. De hoge klanken zijn heel uitgesproken en je kan er die Byrds twelve string jangle fantastisch mee doen zonder dat het schril wordt. De bestaande cabs en mod's van de pedaal zelf zijn al voldoende voor mij. Ik hou van de beperktheid van deze pedaal. De app en bonus sounds heb ik nog niet geprobeerd (app zou slecht werken ? Bij de space echo van UA viel die app wel mee).
Twee minpunten :
1. Sparklegeluiden bij overgang van ckean naar gritty klinken soms raar, als artefacts. Die had ik er liever uit gehad. Bij volledig clean zijn ze gelukkig niet aanwezig. Maar soms als je wat harder slaat in de tussenzone krijg je een rare clipping. Detail, maar toch.
2. Ik mis mid control bij distortion en fuzz. Alles klinkt heel goed maar enkel midscooped. Logisch gezien de amp die hier wordt nagestreefd.

Conclusie : de beste amp-sim voor cleane sounds. Ongelofelijk organisch klinkend, maar wel met inbegrepen midscoop voor heavy dirt. Als je de Iridium of ACS1 neemt zal de Fender - sound niet van dat niveau zijn, maar de mid-regeling bij dirt biedt bij d ACS1 dan wel weer tonesculpting voordelen.
Wat vind je het belangrijkste ? Via een pedaal in feite zo goed als een amp hebben ? Of een goede maar net iets mindere amp sound met tone sculpting en enkele andere ampsounds erbij ? UA of Walrus ?

Solution for option paralysis
gareg 07.07.2023
I've been playing only through plugins. That usually came at the cost of having too many options. This sounds fantastic, easy to operate and to get a good sound from. The amp, with reverb and trem is almost all i need. Pair it with a couple of pedals and you're done

Get a Deluxe Reverb in a pedal
Stratlife 25.03.2024
I use this pedal when I cannot have my Fender amp, and it's perfect to get the authentic Fender sound (adding versatility and control with the cab sims and the app presets...) it worths absolutely every penny!

Great sound.
AE123 13.11.2023
I have fiddled with this one a lot, and almost exclusively leave it on the pseudo-dumble setting at the edge of break up. Cleans up nicely with my strat, and can be puched into harmonically rich overdrive easily when pushed. A bit mid/bass heavy at times if used in a mix. The bluetooth app is difficult to get to work properly.
