Universal Audio has introduced UAFX, the company’s first line of effects pedals designed to provide sonically authentic emulations of classic reverb, delay, and modulation circuits.
The new UAFX Golden Reverberator, Starlight Echo Station, and Astra Modulation Machine bring dual-processor architecture to effects pedals, delivering three distinct vintage sounds per pedal. Features include preset/live modes, analog dry-through, stereo/dual mono operation, true bypass with silent switching, additional downloadable effects from the UAD algorithm team, and more.
Golden Reverberator packs decades of iconic reverb sounds into a single stompbox. Spring 65, Plate 140, and Hall 224 effects, each with available modulation, offer an palette of vintage reverb textures.
Starlight Echo Station offers classic delay effects with three delay types — Tape EP-III, Analog DMM, and Precision — capturing hardware of the past 60 years, Starlight offers additional settings for tape wear, modulation, and preamp color.
Astra Modulation Machine is a sonic workstation, designed to provide options ranging from spacey studio flanger tones of the 1970s to gritty bucket-brigade chorus and opto tube tremolo, Astra offers three modulation sounds — Chorus Brigade, Flanger DBLR, and Trem 65 settings — with secondary modes for Vibrato, Doubling, and more.
UAFX pedals will be available in Spring 2021 with an estimated street price of $399 each. Go here for more specifics.
