“A entire pro guitar recording chain in your DAW”: Universal Audio launches Paradise Guitar Studio
Universal Audio has launched a new plugin, Paradise Guitar Studio, and it’s designed to make you feel like you’re playing in the studio of your wildest dreams.
It has everything you need for a pro guitar recording chain, offering its acclaimed UAD guitar amp emulations along with classic cabinets and mics, pedals, and studio effects – all built upon its analogue modelling.

Within Paradise Guitar Studio, you get 11 hand-picked vintage and modified tube amps, over 300 presets – spanning genres such as rock, blues, indie, metal, funk, and pop – as well as a generous range of effects like 1176 compression, vintage tape echo, and more.
The plugin also has its own integrated tuner and input gate, as well as an intuitive interface similar to a classic pedal board workflow. It comes in UAD’s Native format and is available to purchase on its own, or it can be accessed with a UAD Spark plug‑in subscription.
The plugin has already received praise from Covet’s Yvette Young, engineer Pete Lyman, and Rush’s Alex Lifeson, who says: “This is a stunning array of guitar tones that are instantly usable. The worst part about Paradise Guitar Studio is I’m not going to get much sleep now!”

Paradise Guitar Studio is available for $199 starting 1 December 2025. For a limited time during the UAD Holiday Sale, you can grab it for an introductory price of $149. Find out more at Universal Audio.
