The Universal Audio Dream '65 Reverb Amplifier pedal is part of a three-pedal amp-in-a-box addition to the company's UAFX line, according to Delicious Audio, which describes it as an emulation of a Fender Deluxe Reverb¹. The maker calls it "the most authentic emulation of a mid-'60s American tube combo ever placed in a stompbox"².

Delicious Audio reports that the pedal is built on dual-engine DSP and includes spring reverb modeled after the Fender Deluxe and a vibrato whose speed and intensity are controlled through two Alt knob settings¹. It lists three speaker options: GB25 (vintage Celestion Greenback), Oxford (original Oxford 12K5-6) and EV12 (Electro-Voice EVM12L), replaceable with free additional cabinets added through the UAFX Control app: a Two-Rock 2x12 with Celestion G12-65s, a 1966 Fender Super Reverb 4x10 with CTS speakers and a 1968 Fender Twin Reverb 2x12 with JBL D-120F speakers¹. Three amp variations are offered: Stock, Lead and D-TRK, the last described as the SRV mod¹. The pedal has stereo ins and outs and a 4-cable mode that bypasses an amplifier's preamp¹.

Universal Audio says the pedal includes speaker cabinet, mic and room tones derived from its OX Amp Top Box, and that cabinet and mic emulations can be bypassed for use in front of an amp². It cites MIDI over a rear-panel USB connection, Bluetooth control through the UAFX Control app, and up to four onboard presets plus Live Mode².
