In this series of videos, Brian and Bradford take an in-depth look at the new line of effects pedals from Universal Audio – the UAFX pedals. These are some of – if not the – best sounding digital effects pedals we’ve ever heard. They have some quirks for sure (the lack of midi and the switching on the Starlight), but overall they are truly top shelf.
There are three pedals in the UAFX line-up: The Golden Reverberator (reverb), the Starlight Echo Station (delay), and the Astra Modulation Machine (modulation). Each pedal contains multiple different algorithms within that effect type, and you can save a preset sound for each pedal and access it with the 2nd button.
