It has no effect on the sound quality, but these are also probably the best looking of the UAFX pedals yet. Multiple compression algorithms can even be stacked with the UA preamp to get some truly wild tones and textures. You can choose between the UA 1176, Teletronix LA-2A and DynaComp compressors, which cover everything from gentle tube squeeze to lo-fi crush. Lastly the Max combines emulations of several iconic compressors with a recreation of Universal Audio's own 610 preamp. UA claims it's "the most authentic emulation of the classic mid-'70s Roland Space Echo hardware", but I'm sure Roland would beg to disagree. There's even a tape age parameter for dialing in just the right amount of lo-fi grit. That includes its much loved preamp and spring reverb effect. Galaxy on the other hand, goes all in on specifically modeling the Roland Space Echo. The other side houses a tape echo emulation, an analog bucket brigade delay (BBM) and clean digital delay. One half of the pedal lets you pick between a spring reverb modeled on a "60s American guitar amp" (presumably a Fender Deluxe), a vintage German plate reverb or a late 70s digital reverb. The Del-Verb Ambience Companion combines delay and reverb into a single pedal. The company says some minor changes were made to the knobs and packaging, and that the feature set is actually slightly simpler than past pedals, which allowed it to shave $50 off the price. Universal Audio is one of the few companies actually lowering prices. The only immediate difference between the new members of the family and the original six is the price. The form factor is the same as the rest of the UAFX pedals - so you get two foot switches, six knobs and stereo ins and outs, enclosed in a beefy aluminum enclosure. ![]() These $349 pedals aim to capture the sound of several classic effects with powerful digital emulation. ![]() And now the company is adding three more units to the lineup: the Del-Verb Ambience Companion, Galaxy ‘74 Tape Echo & Reverb and Max Dual Preamp & Compressor. It quickly capitalized on its initial success by introducing three amp simulators in pedalboard-friendly formats. ![]() Universal Audio only got into the hardware guitar effects game about two years ago with the Golden Reverberator, Starlight Echo Station and Astra Modulation Machine.
