The UAFX Starlight Echo Station is Universal Audio's attempt at recreating some of the most classic delay effects, the Echoplex EP-3 and Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man. In addition, it also has their own Precision Digital Delay and Cooper Time Cube. But how do they actually sound? Let's check it out!

These "no talking" demos are about 50x more useful than ones that spend 20 minutes explaining every single feature without giving us much of a chance to see if we even like the sound. To me, the sound and vibe are ultimately more important than the specs. This one sounds great, thanks for a very good demo. Literally been listening to it on repeat while I work, lol.

This is how all demos should be. Like a visual manual. Tasteful too.

Another great pedal walk-through, thanks Andrew! I love my UAFX pedals including the Starlight. If they had MIDI control they'd be perfect (for live performance). My hope is that they'll add that support at some point using a mini USB to MIDI cable and firmware update.

@AndrewChengGuitar Жыл бұрын

Thanks, Michael! I wish they had MIDI as well, hopefully they do that update! To have access to the sounds of their presets would be great, like the pitch shifting DMM sounds.

@dannyslayer Жыл бұрын

You can have presets with the UAFX control app, kind of annoying as you have to use your cell phone, but still better than 2 presets when it came out. Ua didn't really publicize this new feature.

@fattone Жыл бұрын

Great vid. Is the preamp emulation engaged on the Starlight for the EP-III?

@SunTzuBean Жыл бұрын

I've had this pedal because it's one of the only true stereo pedals I know of (two separate emulations in each channel, the stereo image is WILD). But the major thing that bugs me about this pedal is that when you change the delay time on the Deluxe Memory Man, it adds weird digital artifacts. My guess is the time control is not truly continuous which is why it sounds like the pitch is quantized while you move the knob. Also, the delay time isn't short like the real Cooper Time Cube! It was supposed to be used as an ADT type of echo, since the delay was so short. Same with the DMM, I would've loved to be able to use it as a chorus as it was intended. Plus you get a cool self-oscillation sound being able to change the delay time to so low.

Hello please, advice which delay would you prefer: UA Starlight or Walrus Arp 87?; thank you very much for the tip. I know Starlight, so I'm asking about the comparison 😀

Hey Andrew, great work! Your Kingsley Harlot pushed me into buying one, and I'm worried this demo is going to make me grab a starlight too! Are you using any of the preamps in this demo via the app? Let me know- thanks!

@AndrewChengGuitar Жыл бұрын

Thanks Jonathan, the Harlot is so good! Just used it on tour, so dynamic and beautiful, I could use just the Harlot alone for drive if I needed. I am using the Squire 86 here into the HX Stomp for IR loading, but I’m also pushing it with the Roccaforte telefunken preamp

@jonathangreig5939 Жыл бұрын

@@AndrewChengGuitar Very cool! Sorry, I mean more like, on the UAFX app, you can turn the preamp on or off for the echoplex or DMM etc. I'm assuming they weren't on for this demo, right?

@AndrewChengGuitar Жыл бұрын

@@jonathangreig5939 oh my apologies! They aren’t on in this demo, just didn’t have time to get to it, but they sound great! I especially like the echoplex one. I don’t use them live though, because there is sort of a gap when switching presets between two different algorithms, ie. From tape to DMM. Works great in the studio, though! The tape one really warms it up and gives a light compression.

I basically need two pesets Andrew. 1) A fairly present tape-ish slap. 2) Longer but more mixed back DMM style sounds. Is this unit still a good candidate for that job?

Will work great for that!
