Universal Audio Starlight Echo Station

Universal Audio · pedal

The Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station is a delay pedal offering three distinct voicings: a Tape EP-III mode emulating the Echoplex EP-3 tape delay with adjustable wow, flutter, and noise that can be driven into saturation for fat, modulated repeats; an Analog DMM mode recreating late-1970s and early-1980s bucket-brigade analog delay character with extended delay times up to a full second for a lush, gritty, vibey sound; and a Precision digital mode delivering clean, crystal-clear repeats with extensive modulation options layered on top. Six hands-on controls and dual footswitches give real-time control over all three engines. It suits players who love the weird, warped character of vintage pre-digital delay units as much as pristine modern digital echo.
