Legendary Studio Quality Sounds for Your Tube Amp - Anywhere, Any Volume.
OX is a high-quality loadbox combined with a guitar recording system, giving your favorite tube amp studio-quality sound. OX allows you to use your tube amp at its peak performance - from clean, crunchy sounds to the edge of distortion to the most advanced saturation - at any volume, with full emulation of mics, cabinets and rooms, all at your fingertips.
Featuring UA's revolutionary Dynamic Speaker Modeling technology, OX is the first system to accurately model all dynamic and timbral characteristics of speakers - such as compression, resonance, and even diaphragm saturation threshold - putting it directly at the forefront of loudspeaker attenuators and guitar amp recording systems.

Now You Can
Play and record your tube amp at its optimum sweetspot-anywhere and at any volume
The World's Best Responsive Loadbox
With decades of expertise in analog hardware design, Universal Audio's crack team of engineers set out to design a responsive loadbox that would capture the sound, dynamics and feel of your tube amp - no matter how much it's attenuated. The goal is for your tube amp to "see" OX as a real speaker - with constantly changing impedance and response - so that you don't lose any of the sound and dynamics of your playing.
Dynamic Speaker Modeling
UA's revolutionary Dynamic Speaker Modeling technology faithfully reproduces typical speaker behaviors such as compression, resonance, and even diaphragm saturation thresholds - all elements that contribute to the authenticity of traditional tube sound. By using the Speaker Breakup knob in the OX application, you can influence the complex sound characteristics and harmonics that only occur at certain frequencies and sound levels with different speakers - far beyond an impulse response system - thus reproducing the same sound behaviors that you get with a real guitar amp cabinet.
