Universal Audio Enigmatic '82 Overdrive Special Amp

Get the legendary tones that enchanted legends.
The Enigmatic '82 Special Amp lets you experience the heavenly sound of the tube amps that captivated legends like John Mayer, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, Joe Bonamassa, and Carlos Santana.

Perfectly capturing not one, but many specially designed Overdrive Special amps spanning 30 years—with their legendary touch sensitivity, colorful preamp choices, tone stack modifications, and carefully selected mic and speaker cabinets—the Enigmatic '82 is like a hand-built amp, made just for you.

Get your hands on three decades of ultra-rare ODS tones
Universal Audio has gone through its Rolodex to gain exclusive access to many original Overdrive Special amps, spanning three essential eras of these legendary sonic monsters. From the 1970s Santa Cruz models that put ODS on the map, to the 1980s and 1990s LA versions used on countless legendary sessions, the Enigmatic ’82 puts the sound of these legendary amps at your fingertips.

Put the Enigmatic ’82 in Custom mode and go under the hood to craft your own unique ODS voice in the UAFX mobile app. Mix and match a variety of amp modifications, from FET preamp and HRM overdrive voices to the late ’80s Skyliner tone option, output tube bias, power supply stiffness, and more.

Play Essential Rock and Jazz Modes
Defined by the original amps, the Enigmatic '82's Jazz and Rock modes let you enjoy everything from shimmering, cloud-like cleans to creamy overdrive that blossoms with dynamics.
