Using the processing and analog modeling know-how that UA has developed in its world-leading UAD plugins, each of the new UAFX pedals employs best-in-class emulations of classic effects and studio gear.

And from $199 to $219, every pedal is priced far below the cost of their original inspirations.

  • 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.
