When only the best will do, top artists and studios worldwide turn to Universal Audio for premium recording tools rooted in iconic analog hardware. UA now brings this same obsessive attention to detail, authentic tone and rugged build quality to their elite line of guitar effects pedals. Let’s explore 4 of their latest and greatest, from accurate vintage echoes to plexi tones that electrify. Discover why these UAFX pedals are the ultimate tools for gigging musicians and recording guitarists alike.

OX Stomp: Studio Cabinets & Mics in a Stompbox

UAD’s award-winning OX Amp Top reactive load box lets guitarists attenuate down while retaining an amp’s dynamic feel and touch sensitivity. OX Stomp packs this same game-changing attenuator technology into a rugged floor unit complete with a packed studio’s worth of cabs, mics and effects.

The key is Dynamic Speaker Modeling – UA’s proprietary tech that captures the complex harmonic content, breakup and cone cry of miked guitar speakers with supernatural realism. Gone are the static one-dimensional impulse responses of the past. Stomp engages speaker drive, resonance and room ambience for living, breathing tone.

Choose from a curated list of 57 expertly mic’d cabs to fit any amp or genre. Then sculpt space with multiple room mic options. You can even add studio effects like genuine UA 1176 limiting, plate reverb, delay, chorus and compression. It’s a production playground for tone junkies.

The included UAFX app allows deep editing of presets plus footswitch assignments. Stomp fits seamlessly into any existing ampless, modeler or even preamp rig. For recording direct or playing ampless live, it’s the new must-have solution.

Key OX Stomp Features:

Galaxy '74 Tape Echo & Reverb: Iconic Roland Space Echo Emulation

The Roland Space Echo defined trippy analog delay textures starting in the mid 1970s. From David Gilmour to The Edge, its rich tape saturation and cavernous springs launched guitar tones into the stratosphere. The limited-edition Galaxy ’74 UAFX pedal captures every nuance of this legendary hardware in a road-ready stompbox. Meticulously modeled from an original Space Echo unit, it delivers iconic saturation and self-oscillation that earlier emulations simply can’t touch.

Beyond delay, Galaxy’s faithful recreation of the original reverb tank delivers cavernous, dub-ready ambience. Tweak intensity with the extended Decay control. Individual effect engines give you independent delay and reverb routing for deeper stereo soundscapes.

The UAFX Control app allows deep editing of Galaxy’s many parameters including distortion character, wow & flutter, and more. Tap tempo is available via footswitch along with preset selection and parameter adjustment.

If you crave the endlessly inspire textures of analog delay and spring reverb, Galaxy ’74 delivers with unmatched realism. Craft guitar lines that swim deliciously in space and time.

Key Galaxy ’74 Features:

Lion ’68 Super Lead: Cranked Vintage Plexi Tones

UA’s Lion ’68 pedal puts the coveted roar of a cranked late-60s Marshall Super Lead 100 head into an easy-to-use road pedal. Whether laying down tracks or going ampless live, Lion perfectly captures the aggressive attack, bell-like cleans and unmistakable presence that powered icons like Hendrix, Page and Van Halen in their day.

Lion goes beyond most modelers by capturing not just the preamp – but the complete miked amp sound. Power amp distortion, cabinet and speaker breakup, mic nuance and even room dynamics are all meticulously modeled. You get instant album-ready tone via industry-leading Dynamic Circuit Modeling tech.

Choose between Super Lead, Super Bass and hot-rodded “Brown” amp flavors heard on legendary classic rock records. Kick in analog-modeled boosts like an EP-3 preamp or 10-band EQ for even hotter solo tones. A built-in gate keeps things tidy.

The UAFX mobile app allows you to download artist presets, control the gate threshold, save custom tones and more. At your feet lies the monolithic tube tones that launched an industry over 50 years ago. Feel the inspiration flow with Lion ’68.

Key Lion ’68 Features:

Evermore Studio Reverb: Vintage Digital Ambience

Drawing from their flagship Golden Reverberator plug-in, UA’s Evermore pedal perfectly captures the eerie shimmer and grainy texture of early digital studio racks circa late 1970s. These iconic units were beloved for lush decays and almost synth-like atmospheres.

Evermore provides exacting emulations of the original hardware’s legendary Room, Small Hall and Large Hall programs – each with extended Bass, Mid and Treble shaping compared to poorly modeled clones. Add modulated vintage character via the Mod knob for undulating drones.

The simple control set stays faithful to the original while allowing sculpting ideal for guitarists. Short/Long pre-delay and True/Trails switching keeps Evermore stage-ready. Bask in a secret weapon to launch single-note lines into the stratosphere or pad chords into a towering wall of ambient bliss.

Key Evermore Features:

  • Bit-For-Bit Modeling of Coveted Late 70s Digital Studio Unit
  • Iconic Room, Small Hall, Large Hall Reverbs
  • Vintage-Style Bass/Mid/Treble Decay Filters
  • Lush Modulation & Extended Decay Tail
  • Rugged Build & Simple Control Set
