Universal Audio Flow Tremolo
Universal Audio · pedal
The Universal Audio UAFX Flow is a compact vintage tremolo pedal that emulates classic tube-powered amp tremolo, delivering the woozy, pulsing sound of vintage Fender amps with impressive fidelity. It offers three modes: 65, modeling the optical tremolo of mid-1960s amps like the Deluxe and Twin Reverb; Square, a harder-edged choppier waveform; and Dharma, a harmonic tremolo voiced after late-1950s and early-1960s Fender amps. Its range spans gently pulsing throb to machine-gun chop, and the harmonic mode adds a lush, phasey movement many players find unexpectedly rewarding. Simple to use yet richly authentic, it is an affordable, great-sounding choice for blues, surf, indie, country and vintage-flavored tones in a small true-bypass enclosure.
