Classic British sounds in a pedal

The Ruby '63 is a modelling amplifier housed in the compact format of Universal Audio's UAFX pedal series. The pedal's sub-name, "Top Boost Amplifier", is a clear statement of intent from the manufacturer: To emulate a classic British tube combo that has become known as "the sound of the British Invasion". To be more precise, the pedal incorporates both a Top Boost model from 1963 and an older version from 1961, as well as the corresponding vibrato channel. What is more, the Ruby '63 includes customised boost circuits, the distinctive tremolo effect of the original amplifier, and a matching speaker simulation that allows the player to choose between two variations of the archetype's famous "Blue Bulldog" speaker as well as an additional 12" speaker as preferred by none other than Brian May. Alongside its stereo inputs and outputs, the pedal features a live mode and allows the user to store their settings as a preset. It can also be controlled via the dedicated app, which makes additional functions available.

Three in one

The pedal's user interface comprises six rotary controls and three switches, which provide quick access to a wide range of different sounds. The "Alt" function, for instance, can be used to configure the room simulation and the tremolo effect. Universal Audio is known for its high-quality modelling solutions, and the Ruby '63 accordingly delivers an astonishingly accurate emulation of the rare originals on which it is based, with authentic sounds, convincing dynamics, and a realistic playing feel - true to Universal Audio's mission to deliver sounds that can be recorded and used for live performance. The Normal channel delivers the original's characteristic tone and features a simulation of a sought-after treble booster that was integral to the sounds of Rory Gallagher and Queen legend Brian May, while the Brilliant channel takes that sound and enhances it by adding the preamp sound from a legendary tape echo unit. The Vibrato channel, by contrast, features a neutral boost.

Small, intuitive, and powerful

With the Ruby '63, Universal Audio has packed the sounds of a classic amp into a compact, practical device that is ideal for use both on stage and in the studio as well as in combination with real amplifiers. The pedal is not only suitable for guitarists, however: Its stereo inputs and outputs also make it great for keyboard players, and the configuration is automatically identified based on which sockets are occupied. The direct nature of the controls means that the Ruby '63 is intuitive to operate, and an additional preset can be stored for use alongside the user's current settings. The corresponding app, which is available free of charge, lets the user harness the Ruby 63's enhanced functions and communicates with the pedal via Bluetooth. It is thus possible to select alternative configurations for the two footswitches, access the history of all presets that have ever been stored, and download artist and manufacturer presets which include sonic options that cannot be created using the pedal alone.

About Universal Audio

Few manufacturers can draw upon a wealth of audio engineering experience comparable to that of Universal Audio. The company’s founding father Bill Putnam, along with his friend Les Paul, have an admirable reputation as trend-setting music producers and developers of legendary analogue studio technology. Putnam recorded Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, and Sarah Vaughan, and was Duke Ellington’s favourite sound engineer. He developed the famous 1176 Peak Limiter and distributed the Teletronix LA-2A level amplifier. This earned him a posthumous “Technical Grammy Award” in 2000. In 1999, Putnam’s sons, Bill Putnam Jr. and James Putnam, re-founded Universal Audio, transferring their father’s analogue vision and craftsmanship to the digital music world. Their product range includes audio interfaces, dedicated DSP farms, and a variety of plug-ins, as well as analogue hardware devices.

Vintage amp sounds with digital flexibility

The Ruby '63 is the ideal tool for studio sessions, live performances, and demo recordings, and also provides a perfect safety net during concerts. The pedal can also be combined with real amplifiers (provided that they have an effects loop) using four cables. At the same time, Universal Audio has taken care to ensure that the Ruby '63 works well with other pedals and can be used to good effect in a range of different setups. The pedal's features are nothing short of opulent: Three channels, the same specific controls as the originals, integrated boosters, tremolo, and customised speaker simulations that are based on the popular Ox Amp Top Box's circuitry. Upon product registration, the user also gets three additional matched speaker simulations. Put it all together and you get a highly practical and variable solution with a level of sound quality that is quite astonishing given the pedal's compact dimensions.

In the spotlight: Modelling - made by Universal Audio

Universal Audio is one of the market leaders in the field of modelling-based studio technology and effects units. Even classic tube amplifiers are emulated based on the circuit diagrams of the sometimes rare originals, right down to their individual components - including the specific values and characteristics. This minute attention to detail allows a virtual image of the original to be made digitally, which includes the latter's tonal characteristics and the variations that can be made to them using the controls provided. Simulations of sought-after boosters, the appropriate speakers, and supplementary effects are also included to enhance the basic sounds. And even though you wouldn't think it to look at the pedals, their stereo signal path means that two simulations are independently at work at the same time. It goes without saying, of course, that a master volume control is provided - so that signature tube saturation can be achieved at any volume level.

Ruby Ruby Ruby!
DylanBanus 15.06.2022
In het begin was ik erg sceptisch, want mis vaak in amp simulaties het gevoel alsof je er echt voor staat, of het idee dat het klinkt als een echte amp. They nailed it! Man wat klinkt dit goed, hij reageert als een echt amp, de speaker sims zijn enorm goed (net als in de OX box) en de knoppen reageren zoals een echte vox doet.

Dit is wellicht de eerste keer dat ik het podium op zou durven zonder een echte amp.

Sterke aanrader dus!

YES ! CLEANS !
Kapser 28.12.2024
De Ruby levert op de Brilliant channel een prachtige, heel bruikbare cleane sound in stereo, met net genoeg headroom. Deze klank kan al de nuances van modulatie en delay-effecten mooi naar voor brengen. Pedalplatform approved ! Een pedaal met enkel dit channel in stereo was al genoeg voor mij geweest. Het is de klank die ik zocht.
De andere channels zijn een leuke toevoeging. De Normal channel is donkerder en heeft zogezegd minder gain dan de brilliant channel. Ik vind deze zeker niet minder clean ongeacht een mogelijk gain verschil. De vibrato channel is vergelijkbaar met dat van de Dream : een aparte sound, maar clean is deze niet. Zoals de vibrato channel van de Dream ontstaan er hier ook vervelende clipping artefacten bij weinig of geen gain (volume) als je hard slaat. Voor vibrato zelf werkt het mooi.
Maar de brilliant channel is zodanig goed dat het bij de Ruby me niet stoort. Hierdoor vind ik de Ruby voor mijn noden momenteel beter dan de Dream, tenzij deze ook een cleaner normal channel zou krijgen in de toekomst.
Wat betreft de dirt channels : daar kom je op het eerste zicht wel sneller in een meer cliché hoge toon vox-geluid terecht. Maar dankzij de cut knop en de verschillende channels, cabs en EQ knoppen kan je hier juist enorm veel variatie aan dirt tonen uithalen. Het vraagt even aandacht.
Alternatieven op de markt voor een cleane Vox sound in stereo zijn momenteel :
De Iridium ! ! ! (betere prijs-kwaliteit, maar de gedeelde knopjes voor de drie amp-modellen zorgt voor minder direct werken en meer zoeken)
WalrusAudio ACS1mk2 (duurder)
TC Electronic DC30 (maar dan moet je met twee pedalen gaan werken voor stereo)
Simplifier (maar dan moet je via effects loop gaan voor stereo in).
De Ruby is voor mij momenteel de beste keuze qua geluid en prijs dankzij dat brilliant channel en is makkelijk bespeelbaar.

Fantastic deal for a stellar invention
Jacky O 21.06.2023
A few months back i purchased the Ruby. Was'nt sure of it. I'v already had the Dream and loved it.So i did sent it back. But ...then came this fantastic springtime offer and ordered the Ruby again. It's a dream. Now i'v got the hang of it. The UA Dream & Ruby are among the best pieces of gear i'v bought. Ever. With a small power amp they go in my gigbag
The only other thing i'll carry to my car is a 10" speaker cabinet. Stellar sound and build quality. The app that goes with them works very good once you'v got the hang of it. Remenber to switch on your location setting on y'r phone!!! I'v got plenty of presets dialed in. One for each style of guitar i use with them. Can call 'm up in seconds when gigging or practicing. Sturdy build quality as well. Don't hasitate. Check 'm out!

You won't swap this for a good tube amp :(
Simonkaai 27.08.2022
I'll put my bottom line first here: I was tempted to think this would help me drop my tube amp for gigs and travelling, but it just isn't good enough - so it has gone back to Thomann. There are several reasons why it might work for you though - just depends what you are used to and what you want.

First: I play a lot of clear sounding guitar (Les P, Tele, amplified acoustic) and some valve overdrive sounds for solos, and I wanted a transportable alternative to my Mesa Boogie mini-Rectifier + cab (Celestions). I have never been a big AC30 fan, but the reviews made the Ruby sound pretty flexible.

Operation: let's just say the 6 knobs, with toggle switches to change their function and unintuitive reverse dial effect (maybe the AC30 was like that, who cares...) doesn't lend itself to dialling in your preferred sound easily. After three sessions with it I just about had it worked out, and of course you can save the settings to the app which is not too bad. See other reviews on this, all I can say is it is not easy to operate. This is not a gain/treble/mid/bass/presence/master volume rig...

Sound: I tried via desk monitors and a small PA system; I could get it to an OK sound, close to the clean channel on my mini-rectifier - but the rest of the settings are buzzzzzed, too easily overdriven and all too authentic copy of a small amp being cranked up. Which is maybe what some might look for (the Brian May overdriven preset on the app is sweet) - but I bet you can dial that in with most tubescreamer pedals at 1/3rd the price. So yes, you can probably find one amp sound that you like... but then what? What is the point of the complicated tone adjustment interface, or six cab simulators, you might ask.

Features: no reverb (good choice; don't want one in an amp, my Hall of Fame II goes everywhere) but there is a vibrato/tremolo a la AC30, but it is harsh and only works in one setting - so you need another on your board anyway... Then, no XLR/balanced outputs (that's an issue for something that should go straight to a desk), and since it is a pedal pretending to be an amp, why no headphone socket? And also not clear to me how I would/could use it to split between the desk and an amp on stage.

Build: no complaints. Looks good and sturdy. Design: Would sit comfortably on a pedal board but then again you'd be constantly on your knees fiddling with the knobs? So probably shouldn't be on a board... but then has stomp switches... go figure. Seems they couldn't decide which it was?

So my conclusion : sound not enough to really replace a *very good* tube amp, utility not well thought out unless you were looking for an AC30 sound that you had to have but didn't want a reconditioned vintage, and not really practical in any case to take gigging. A real pity - I had high expectations - but thank you Thomann for the great service!
