Universal Audio UAFX Golden Reverberator
Glorious reverbs
The Reverberator is a compact pedal that focuses on a curated selection of time-tested reverb effects. Universal Audio uses the same component-based modelling algorithms in this effect that are already used in the manufacturer's DSP plugins in recording studios worldwide. The pedal provides three authentically simulated reverb types: Spring 65, Plate 140 and Hall 224. The originals are a tube-driven spring reverb, the EMT140 plate and the reverb algorithm from the Lexicon 224. Registering the pedal also unlocks the Lexicon 224's Chamber and Plate algorithms. Each effect type offers three variations and one preset slot.
DSP power in the pedal
Unlike the plugins, the Golden Reverberator doesn't require computer control; it features a directly accessible control surface with six high-quality knobs, three miniature switches and two footswitches. Bass, treble and mod can be adjusted directly on the pedal. Fine-tuning is done via the Decay, Predelay and Mix controls. A dual-core signal processor and efficient modelling code deliver the outstanding-sounding reverb algorithms. Via the app connection, settings can be saved, loaded and shared with the community worldwide. For efficient cabling, as with all pedals in the UAFX series, the stereo inputs and outputs are located on the top.

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.

Die Soundqualität des Golden Reverberator ist bestechend. Ich kann es mir nicht besser vorstellen. Auch die Variabilität ist großartig. Was definitiv fehlt ist Midi und einen ticken kleiner könnte das Teil schon sein, würde sich auf meinem Board besser machen. Unterm Strich aber ein ganz großartiger Hall. Bin gespannt, mit was UA demnächst um die Ecke kommt, nachdem ja Dream und Partner absolut klasse Sound abliefern.
