Studio-ready sounds at the touch of a button
With the ANTI you get the authentic sound of that famous 120-watt tube behemoth that spawned the aggressive "scooped" guitar tones, combined with perfectly matched speaker cabinets to unleash crushing riffs, searing leads, crystal-clear cleans and everything in between. The powerful UAFX Dual-Engine delivers the most authentic recreation of an amplifier ever found in a stompbox. The ANTI 1992 gives you album-ready tones at the push of a button with an integrated noise gate, TS-style overdrive and preamp boost. Play presets compiled by the guitarists of Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Tetrarch and The Black Dahlia Murder, or create your own in the UAFX Mobile App. There's no limit to your creativity.
Finally: Universal Audio goes High Gain!
After testing numerous other UAFX pedals, our Olli is especially pleased that there's finally a Universal Audio high-gain amp pedal. Of course the ANTI 1992 wasn't safe from Olli for long—he grabbed the new pedal straight away and dragged it in front of the camera. You can watch the result in the video on the right. Enjoy!

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.
