    Universal Audio, the beloved pro audio and pedal brand, expands its UAFX series today with four new compact pedals: Orion Tape Echo, 1176 Studio Compressor, Heavenly Plate Reverb, and Evermore Studio Reverb.
    The Orion Tape Echo, based on a vintage Maestro Echoplex EP-III, offers three-dimensional tape delay tones, and enough tweakability to lure you down sonic rabbit holes.
    The 1176 Studio Compressor gives guitarists and other musicians studio-level compression in an easy-to-use pedal.
    The Heavenly Plate Reverb emulates the sound of the particularly rich EMT plate reverbs of the 1950s.
    The Evermore Studio Reverb offers the tones of a different decade-the late 1970s-as found in the early digital units from the likes of Lexicon and its 224 concert hall algorithm.

    Let's all take a moment to appreciate how much fun Andy was having demoing these pedals, Particularly the Evermore. They're in the same price bracket as Walrus Audio, Earthquaker Devices, and Source Audio which seems appropriate.

    I'm honestly surprised they didnt just make a pedal Apolo with stereo in and out. Then they could nickel and dime us on different algorithms instead of on actual hardware boxes that are the same thing other than a paint job and different effect loaded onto the DSP

      They want the expensive ones to appear more valuable, by packing less value into these ones.
      3 years from now, you will look at the golden as a combo of 2 of these pedals + spring reverb, in stereo.. The point isn't to sell these. It's to sell the golden.

      @@AndyDemos that's fine, but they literally put another tape echo, compressor and reverb 2 months ago. Most of guitar players prefer verstatility when it comes to delays, reverbs at this price range and they could totally do it. This throwing away one-mode pedals at premium price tag isn't very appealing. I have UAFX Ruby and it's perfect but again can't help myself thinking they could have put all 3 amps into one pedal or at least include effects loop at given price.

    Reverb need to stop spending their profits from excessive fees on UA-cam videos and instead hire more support staff. And a telephone line. And transfer seller's money the same day, instead of making significant interest on it for 2 days or more. Oh, and not charge the seller Wizard of Oz prices for the joke that is 'payment processing'.
