Overview
The 1992 Peavey 5150 — designed in collaboration with Eddie Van Halen — became one of the defining high-gain amps of the modern era.

ANTI 1992 captures that sound at a more accessible price point than UA's other amp emulators, making it the budget-friendly entry into UAFX big-format amp pedals — without compromising on tone authenticity.

Particularly useful for metal players running into a clean amp or direct to interface, where preserving 5150 tonal DNA matters more than having a real tube head.
