UAFX Enigmatic '82 Overdrive Special Amp Pedal

The UAFX Enigmatic ’82 captures more than 30 years of the world’s most coveted Overdrive Special (ODS) amplifiers in a single pedal. From ultra-rare early builds that defined boutique amp history to later circuits heard on countless LA studio sessions, this pedal delivers the unmistakable cloud-like cleans, blooming overdrive, and touch-sensitive response that made these amps legendary.

Powered by UA’s dual-engine processing, Enigmatic ’82 recreates the full signal path of these iconic hand-built tube amps — from the input jack to the speakers and microphones — for rich, three-dimensional tone that reacts just like the originals.

Build Your Own Custom D-Style Amp

Engage Custom Mode to dive under the hood and craft your own ODS circuit. Choose between four classic power tube and supply configurations, select your favourite era of tone stack EQ, and add the famed Hot Rubber Monkey (HRM) mod for the world-famous “D-style” sustain and compression.

Play Essential Rock & Jazz Modes

Effortlessly switch between Rock and Jazz modes to explore shimmering cleans, dynamic chord articulation, and harmonically rich overdrive. Ideal for expressive lead work and sophisticated rhythm playing, with responsiveness that follows every nuance of your touch.

Album-Ready Mic & Speaker Models

Harness UAD’s groundbreaking Dynamic Speaker Modeling with curated mic/speaker pairings taken from the award-winning OX Amp Top Box. Perfect for direct-to-mixer, silent stage rigs, and studio-ready recording without any external gear.
