Buy UAFX Compacts at Reverb: bit.ly/3sj5k8t
Universal Audio, the beloved pro audio and pedal brand, expands its UAFX series today with four new compact pedals: Orion Tape Echo, 1176 Studio Compressor, Heavenly Plate Reverb, and Evermore Studio Reverb.
The Orion Tape Echo, based on a vintage Maestro Echoplex EP-III, offers three-dimensional tape delay tones, and enough tweakability to lure you down sonic rabbit holes.
The 1176 Studio Compressor gives guitarists and other musicians studio-level compression in an easy-to-use pedal.
The Heavenly Plate Reverb emulates the sound of the particularly rich EMT plate reverbs of the 1950s.
The Evermore Studio Reverb offers the tones of a different decade-the late 1970s-as found in the early digital units from the likes of Lexicon and its 224 concert hall algorithm.

Andy showing us what great sounds you can get from these pedals, awesome as heck. You’re the G.OA.T.

@abouc 11 ай бұрын

Let's all take a moment to appreciate how much fun Andy was having demoing these pedals, Particularly the Evermore. They're in the same price bracket as Walrus Audio, Earthquaker Devices, and Source Audio which seems appropriate.

I'm honestly surprised they didnt just make a pedal Apolo with stereo in and out. Then they could nickel and dime us on different algorithms instead of on actual hardware boxes that are the same thing other than a paint job and different effect loaded onto the DSP

@pb25193 11 ай бұрын

They want the expensive ones to appear more valuable, by packing less value into these ones. 3 years from now, you will look at the golden as a combo of 2 of these pedals + spring reverb, in stereo.. The point isn't to sell these. It's to sell the golden.

They offer incredible sound quality in a very compact footprint, but these are hideous. They look like the AmazonBasics/Donner/Nu-x pedals of, but cost four times as much. I picked up a used Strymon Volante for the price of the Orion haha. I'll pass!

Reverb need to stop spending their profits from excessive fees on KZfaq videos and instead hire more support staff. And a telephone line. And transfer seller's money the same day, instead of making significant interest on it for 2 days or more. Oh, and not charge the seller Wizard of Oz prices for the joke that is 'payment processing'.

Reverb doesn't spend any internal money on these. They get paid $3K-$5K from these pedal brands to make these videos, which is partially why pedals like these are so expensive

@@AndyDemos that's fine, but they literally put another tape echo, compressor and reverb 2 months ago. Most of guitar players prefer verstatility when it comes to delays, reverbs at this price range and they could totally do it. This throwing away one-mode pedals at premium price tag isn't very appealing. I have UAFX Ruby and it's perfect but again can't help myself thinking they could have put all 3 amps into one pedal or at least include effects loop at given price.

@@milk_bath I'm not sure if you are just being pedantic or somehow think these pedals are angelic and somehow better than others. Wampler and JHS both make extremely high quality budget pedals at the $99 price point. Are you disagreeing with that and feel those are somehow inferior?

@@KevinDarty Great point, let's say they are comparable in audio quality, but that isn't the only metric to judge a pedal by. The $99 JHS 3 Series Reverbs, Delay, and Compressor aren't even close to being feature rich as these. Wampler's $150 offering is a Spring Reverb and there other delay/reverb pedals are as expensive or more than.

@@KevinDarty I'm looking for you to have a nuanced opinion that is formed from taking in a holistic perspective and full context as opposed to your kneejerk reaction to the word "budget". Hilarious that I'm the one that doesn't want to have a "rational conversation" when I am laying out out cost, features, and quality of these pedal and the competitors you mention. If presenting you this data causes you cognitive dissonance then maybe you should reflect on that. If these pedals were $99 dollars, then how much should JHS's $99 pedals be?
