Universal Audio UAFX OX Stomp Dynamic Speaker Emulator
Universal UAFX OX Stomp Dynamic Speaker Emulator Pedal
The little brother of the OX Amp Top Box
The Universal UAFX series is already well known for first-class, nuanced studio-quality effects. The new UAFX OX Stomp fits seamlessly into the UAFX family in terms of quality. Based on Universal Audio’s award-winning OX Amp Top Box, the OX Stomp Dynamic Speaker Emulator Pedal arrives as a fully packed pro studio with authentic-sounding guitar cabinets, microphones, room modelling and studio-quality effects — all in a very handy format. You don’t have to spend a fortune to get that perfect studio sound.
Award-winning speaker and room emulation
Universal Audio’s groundbreaking Dynamic Speaker Modeling goes beyond capturing impulse-response systems and faithfully emulates speaker break-up, drive and cone cry, making the sound of the OX Stomp indistinguishable from that of a cabinet miked in the studio. The harmonic-rich, incredibly complex sound will amaze you. In addition to professionally placed condenser, dynamic and ribbon microphones on the cabinets, the UAFX OX Stomp is the only effects pedal equipped with a comprehensive selection of room microphones with Dynamic Room Modeling. That gives you the goosebump-inducing feeling of a recording session with a cranked amp in a top-tier studio.
Huge selection of studio effects
Alongside the excellent Dynamic Room Modulation and speaker and microphone simulation, you can also look forward to a carefully chosen selection of studio effects from Universal Audio, including real 1176 compression, plate reverb, chorus, flanger, three delay types and a four-band equaliser with high- and low-pass filters. With the UAFX Control App you can easily swap cabinets and microphones, fine-tune effects, save your own RIG presets and configure footswitch functions to switch sounds or effects at the push of a button — the Universal Audio UAFX OX Stomp lets your imagination run wild.
Six microphones, 22 speakers, endless possibilities

Pioneer in audio recording for more than 50 years
Founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., Universal Audio has long been synonymous with innovative recording equipment. As the favourite engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and others, Bill was a passionate innovator who is regarded as the father of modern audio recording. Many of his legendary studio and equipment designs are still in use today. B. Putnam was the inventor of the modern mixing console, the multiband audio equaliser and he was the first engineer to use artificial reverb on commercial recordings. Alongside his friend Les Paul, Bill was also involved in the early development of stereophonic recording.
Putnam, known as a driven entrepreneur, founded three audio product companies during his long career: Universal Audio, Studio Electronics and Urei. All three companies built devices that were widely adopted after their introduction and would shape the studio sound for generations. The boutique compressors LA-2A and 1176 and the 610 tube console are among these legends. Artists such as Sinatra, the Beach Boys and Van Halen recorded their studio albums on the 610 console.
Universal Audio was re-established in 1999 by Bill's sons James Putnam and Bill Putnam Jr. The plan was twofold: on the one hand to faithfully reproduce classic analogue recording gear in their father's tradition; and on the other to bring the sound and spirit of vintage analogue technology into the new digital recording tools .
By now impressive effects pedals for guitarists and specialised guitar-recording tools such as the Universal Audio OX are also part of the range and are extremely popular with fans of outstanding tone.
