Check out the Golden Reverberator here! imp.i114863.net/uafxgolden
I’ve watched a lot of videos for this pedal and what makes this one the best one I’ve seen is you don’t just demo the features of the pedal and play through, but you explain the use of the effects, where to use them and their practical application (with very clear and audible examples)!
Much appreciated!
Why no one has done lessons like this showing HOW players can use a certain effect?! This would have saved me so much time when I was learning how to use effects years ago, but all guys did on YT was review the pedal, not talk about ways to use it. Great concept, Corey.
THanks so much. This is my exact purpose behind demos! Your comment means a lot.
Thank you, Corey, for this very pleasant, and "in-depth", "splashy," demo, of this AWESOME" SPRING REVERB EFFECTS BOX!... I'LL BE ORDERING ONE, ASAP!!!
Great that it's not just a demo. It was very educational! Fantastic playing, Corey!
Thanks so much!
If this video doesn’t sell a thousand Golden Reverberators I don’t know what will!!! And I mean that as a compliment 😉
Haha, thanks! It's a great pedal for sure
well it definitely sold one of them. I've been trying to keep myself under control for a month or so, but I watched this video about 20 minutes ago and sadly only managed to keep strong for about 5 minutes after it ended and have now ordered one. I'm rewatching from the start again now just to up the excitement (like it needed it).
I feel you! It’s definitely on my „want“ list
UA must be very happy with your excellent deep-dive into their Reverb pedal. You just sold another one for them!
Best reverb pedal on the market hands down.
Agreed
Great demo, Corey! Thanks
As opposed to cheaper pedals (or e.g., the older Strymon pedals like the Blue/Big Sky), the UAFX Golden Reverberator (GR) keeps the overall signal quality intact. I recently tested the Big Sky and it made everything sent through it mellow or even dull. People tend to underestimate pedals such as the GR because it doesn't offer much in terms of reverb modes. Usually, there are a couple of well known algorithms like Shimmer one can find on even much cheaper pedals. The GR just goes for the classic reverbs of the past but does it on a very high level. IMHO, the 224-mode on the GR is tough competition for the Chase Bliss CXM 1978 (which costs almost 1000 $).
Hey Corey! Watching this again way after the fact since I'm considering getting a Golden! Just wanted to say this is an amazing video, exactly what I want from a demo. It's as much of a lesson as it is a demo, in the best way possible! Incredibly thorough and informative, love your content!!
Love to hear that! Thanks so much. Feel free to use the link in the description if you want to purchase the pedal. The link helps the channel out a bit. Appreciate it!
@@coreycongilio Definitely learned a lot, not just about gear but application as well! Great video as always!
Also man, I ended up grabbing a Golden from my local shop, they were running a sale I couldn’t pass up, otherwise I would have grabbed one here! Do you have other similar links for other pedals for the next time I wanna grab something? Would love to support the channel.
@@ParkerDeBaryshe Hey Parker. That's awesome. Gotta support local too. I can shoot you a link for anything on the Sweetwater Site! You can use this too. Just hit me up! imp.i114863.net/sweetwaterhome
@@coreycongilio thanks Corey!! I’ll have to hit you up next time I’m buyin off Sweetwater! Again love your content and would love to support the channel, you do some of the best lessons and demos on here!
@@ParkerDeBaryshe That'd be great and thanks so much for the support!
Outstanding demos, Cory
Subscribed! This is one of the best reviews I’ve ever seen on a guitar pedal!
Wow, thanks!
Agreed. 10/10
Thanks for an awesome breakdown! I'll be able to get so much more out of this pedal after learning from you.
My pleasure!
Wonderful demo. I thoroughly enjoyed your explanations and your playing. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
That's a pretty sweet reverb!! Love me some Plate. And it's a really good lesson on how to use reverb. It was great to hear your style change with the different reverb types, just a little bit of a versatile guitarist!! Thanks Corey.
Ha! Thanks for that. Much appreciated!
@@coreycongilio dang I cannot get the spill over sound to linger as long as yours does in this video once I click back over to live mode, I wonder wtf im doing wrong
Great demo! I've never really understood "pre-delay" - but now the meaning seems so obvious 🤦♂️
The "bright" "Spring 65" setting sounds more like the old Fender 6G15 outboard reverb units. They dripped, unlike built-in Fender amp reverb (I found that out the hard way, years ago, after getting a Deluxe Reverb, expecting surf drip, but still just getting the same non-drippy verb as my other Fender amps). Just putting this in here so someone might not make the same mistake I did. I ended up getting a DIY 6G15 kit, but this pedal drips just as hard, and is much more portable/versatile.
If you want drip, you won't get it from an amp, but you will with this pedal! 🤙🤙
Thanks for the review…and being humble…wonderful pedal but wish they would have made the mod knob be a spring reverb drive for the spring setting…like when your spring reverbs character changes as you crank your amp
Plate: 16:18
Hall: 21:11
In case Spring ain't your thing...
Hey thx for that!
Really nice explained. Thank you. I like this pedal for a clear original sound of my instrument.
Best review of this pedal out there. Thanks.
My pleasure!
Awesome lesson Corey. Thanks, I'll use it in church.
Great demo, I have the Golden and Starlight and I am in love with them. best sounding reverb pedal i have heard and the starlight is the closest you can get to a vintage Deluxe Memory Man
Couldn't agree more!
OK. Other than the fact you sold me on this pedal, thank you for TEACHING me some things I didn't know. Hey man, seriously. Thank you for that.
Glad to help!
Well you sold me this pedal. Great channel with great content!
Man, I absolutely love the style. Your vids are the best although Im new. I enjoy and learn here. Thank you Brother. Cheers 2023!
Hey thx!
Amazing demo! Just bought one.
Thank you for your video! I just got this pedal and your video helps a lot!
Excellent review, thanks Cory. Between this and Joe Gore's review of the pedal in Premier Guitar, great take on what this pedal can do.
Appreciate that!
Sounds amazing Corey. Looking forward to hearing the other UA pedals.
More to come!
This video is incredible. I have the UA Golden on the way and while waiting I have watched quite a few, but your playing / composition and recorded tone (and voice volume matching) are PERFECT. I now realize this pedal is not only going to be kick ass for my live rig, but it will be essential for recording. SUBSCRIBED!
Wow thanks so much!
What a great vid! Best one out there. Do you give guitar lessons online? Man would love to take lessons from ya. Subscribed
Been getting into guitar and came across this pedal recently, this is a great review of its capabilities. Thanks so much!
My pleasure!
Perfect! I have one but didn't know how to use it correctly with my J-Mod 100 & the effects loop. Thank you :)
Wicked video. Best one for me. Great explanations ! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
13:06 CC really likes the AKG studio reverb from the reverbrator - I too : )
Great video as always, Corey
I appreciate that
Thanks so much, this was incredibly helpful - before as well as after I bought the pedal. Love it!!!
Glad it helped!
Great advice
Getting a Fender Deluxe Reverb sound from a pedal in this price range costs a lot less than buying a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. Just when I thought I knew everything about reverb, I learned some new terminology. Another great lesson by Corey.
Yeah but a Deluxe Reverb is only like $700 more and then you, you know, own a Deluxe Reverb.
@@ericc1138 A Deluxe Reverb reissue currently costs $1,599.99 USD. So the you'd have to pay $1,200.99 more, and even then it would be the PCB version.
@@scottlowe8657 A 68 reissue was $1099 when I bought mine and is $1299 now. You can find used ones for $800. Not sure where you're getting your price from.
SO good, man! Killed it!
Thx VK!
Excellent demo, I really wanted to get this pedal but as many have said here already you managed to highlight the effects not your playing (though excellent), can't wait to pick mine up tomorrow from the shop.
Glad it was helpful!
Superb demo - just bought one and am really enjoying it. Makes me sound like a much better player :)
Haha that’s awesome!
This video convinced me that UAFX Golden is my next reverb pedal. No, I don't mind the absence of MIDI since I don't use it. And I'm perfectly fine with a good spring reverb + one favorite I can recall when ever needed. Thanks Corey, this video killed other demos/reviews of Golden. Sorry Henning, Andertons, Pete and others ;)
Oh wow!
Agreed. This is the best video I have found on this pedal. Outstanding explanation on everything. Hopefully Corey does a review on the Starlight as well so I can keep emptying my wallet
You won’t regret it. Did you end up getting it. Best reverb I’ve played
I love the sound
Corey you are a
🎸Rockstar 🎸
Your Amazing
Thx so much!
just came back from picking up this reverberator after viewing this video twice & a couple others. I almost pulled the trigger on some other reverbs last week & this week but this reverb has got the goods. pure detailed sound quality. thanks for your demo Corey!
PS, also might trade my Timeline & Mobius for the Echo & Astra pedals as well...
Glad you enjoyed the pedal and demo!
Thanks for this awesome video. It should be very cool to do same presentation for Astra and echo pedals which are also fantastic pedals ! Thanks again ! 😎😉🙏
Appreciate it! If I only had the time!
Excellent playing man, you are a killer player! Checked out this video after purchasing one of these baby’s, so excited to use it
Killer! Thx!!
Great video!! I can skip reading the instructions now 😀
Glad it was helpful!
So, the Mix knob is essentially like the "Reverb" knob on an Amp? Or is it slightly different?
I got this pedal to have the most, best options, but I'm totally thrown by options like Decay, Predelay, and Mix. Going into this video, my main question was how do I learn enough about this pedal and reverb in general to start somewhere safe and practical, and then be able to dial in from there? It seemed as if no matter what, I would end up with a crazy loud reverb by spinning the knobs on my own. And even when I tried something safe, like reading the manual and turning everything to noon, it still sounded crazy. Despite wanting a little wet, I was getting so much wet that I began to prefer dry.
So thank you for this video. You apparently do the legwork of thinking about your audience and making these lessons that are helpful for anyone. I appreciate this because it feels as if every video just assumes that I know about studio effects and everything about reverb in general. I totally want to learn that stuff, but in the meantime I just want usable reverb tone out of this pedal, which I feel more confident that I can do now. Maybe I'll realize that this pedal isn't for me, but I'm under the impression that this is a pedal I should be able to use just like amp reverb for playing live or at home or recording. So, best of luck to me I guess, haha!
Thanks!!
Mix is like a blend control. As you turn in up clockwise, it “mixes” in more reverb with your guitar signal. At noon, you would hear a 50/50 mix of both guitar and reverb etc. My videos are all about teaching! Just did a livestream today on Delay! Check it out!
@@coreycongilio Thank you for the response! I'll definitely check out that livestream; I was just taking a couple hours to figure out my DD-7 the other day lol.
The PRS!! One day I will own one!! So beautiful
YOU!!!! Are a tone MONSTER!!! OMG!!!!!
🙏🏻😂
I know it should have more presets and it’s expensive but it’s worth it. This reverb sounds so good.
I actually like the lack of presets and what’s going on under the hood adds to the cost. Sadly, they can’t really “show” that but, it’s a mini computer in there.
@@coreycongilio great vid. Taught me what all the controls really do. Just got my pedal. Absolutely love the tone.
Just got mine, sounds amazing
Nice!
That chair gives you an awesome Carlos Santana-mullet..👍
Btw;
Great pedal too!!!
Ha! How do yo know it’s not my actual mullet?!
@@coreycongilio
The hat is missing.
😂😂
Great video! Please do this with the Astra too. I need help with the flanger and doubler!
Thx! yep, will do!
You and that pedal have a great sound
Thx!
Just sprung for this pedal (pun intended), great overview!
Thx! It's great. Any chance you used one of links? Just curious. Enjoy, it's a lot of fun!
Hey Corey: Great video. Please do one on the Starlight.
Thx! It’s on the list!
VERY cool, Corey, thanks.
Sure!
You are giving me courage!
Speaking of reverb...the greatest Fender Wet Reverb sound of all time is 'Pipeline' by the Chantays plus anything by Dick Dale. imho.
That droning trick with the 'spill-over' and infinite reverb, is that only possible in stereo?
Love the video! Off topic question: is that a DGT? Seems like it, but you've got the plain truss rod cover on there (which I like).
Thx! Yes it is a DGT. I just reversed it 😉
@@coreycongilio thanks, man!
thanks corey
Great review man! If you have the Starlight please do one for that too; I'd really like to hear your thoughts on that.
Will do! Thanks!
Hi Corey, thx for the demo and your whole work ! I'd like to know what you think of the UA reverberator vs the Source Audio Ventris, as i hesitate between both. The ventris seems more versatile but i especially love plate reverbs and would like to know how they compare.
Thx again !
Both are great. The Ventris is more versatile when it comes to presets and deep diving. The Golden is simpler but, sounds spectacular. I have both and use them for different situations.
@@coreycongilio thx for the answer Corey !
Great explanation ! Thanxzz :-)
Great playing bro.
Thx a bunch!
So good!!
I will be getting this pedal - but I think I also need that guitar! Plz let me know the model / year / color. Looks & sounds killer!
Ha! The guitar is a PRS DGT in champagne gold metallic. Custom order in 2020. If you happen to purchase from Sweetwater. You can use this link. imp.i114863.net/uafxgolden
Great video!
Thanks!
What part of Italy is your family from Corey? Outstanding playing and tone btw.
Thanks! I'm mostly Italian in last name only. My DNA test came back as 60% German and only 10% Italian.
@@coreycongilio thanks for the response. KILLER player. 👍🏻
Need you to teach us about UA's echo pedal!
Soon! I promise!!
Quality content
Thx!
Whoa! What pickups are in that prs?!? Sounds amazing!
Stock!
Great video! Did you split the signal stereo directly from the pedal? Any out of phase concerns with the two amps?
Yes. No phasing issues
Great demo, thank you!!
My pleasure!
I have the golden. I’m trying to connect with it. I’ve been a boss rv-6 user for a long time. I’ll keep with it.
Question, what model is your PRS. Are they stock pickups? It sounds so good.
It’s a DGT. Stock pickups
Corey fantastic playing and tone and info. that guitar is awesome !What model is it?
Thanks! That’s a PRS DGT!
@@coreycongilio looks silver , even cooler than the gold on Dave’s
has this pedal analog dry through or is digital
how does this compare to the Ventris Dual Reverb ?
Not as many options but, I prefer the sound of this pedal. I have both and still use the Ventris. Like the golden more
I wish you would use a Fender or Gibson.... not a fan of PRS....but I guess there are other demos I can watch.
Wow really. I've got a Gibson Custom shop R8 and a Custom shop Tele and guess what's the better guitar, sounding and play wise, the DGT! It wouldn't have mattered what Cory used you would have got a great demo, review, and all you need to know about to make a decision on this killer Reverb. I personally think he made a great choice on what guitar to use.
Can this cop some eventide blackhole modulated stuff?
How did you find out which units they were modeled after?
I’ve been told by the developers and they’ve spoken about it in livestreams
Thanks!!
Hello Corey, can you get a similar type of room sound with the "room" setting like that Ox studio room mic sound? Thanks!
yes in my opinion. I did it with the Plate and 224 Small Room setting
@@coreycongilio Oh that´s great, I hoped for that, now I´m sold :) Thank´s a lot for your fast reply and your opinion my friend!
5-Stars! ★★★★★
So my big question is…. Do I get a strymon or this?
Both have their pros and cons!
I think to buy the Golden for the pedalsteel guitar. Do you think this works?
A lot of Steel players use the Strymon but I want something different.
I think it would be great with pedal steel!
@@coreycongilio a big thanks from the Netherlands. 👍
oh my... when you stuck the Gladio in front of it. B L I S S
Can you get a 100% wet signal if you tur the mix knob up all the way?
Yes
@@coreycongilio It has awesome tone with straight-forward features. Glad there's no menus to scroll thru. I want to get one. But....$400? Really?
What color is the gold on that Prs? Seems different than the other goldtops I’ve seen them release
It’s a custom color. Champagne Gold Metallic
Great VDO, Just wonder that what kind of earphone and system that you use to get sound from the pc/laptop ?
I'm coming out of my recording interface. A Universal Audio Apollo
Hi there! Do you prefer the golden in front or fx loop of an amp?
Thanks!
I pretty much put everything in front. Thx!
@@coreycongilio thanks for your quick reply! Also when you use a cranked amp? Tnx👍🏽
Yeah, I just deal with it!
@@coreycongilio 😆👍🏽👍🏽

It’s wonderful but 400 big ones. If you play for a hobby explain that to a wife.If your doing it professionally ok.Your making money with it.
I can't believe how many people complain about the price. $400 is not alot of money if you really think about it.
Ich hasse Videos wo so viel geredet wird. Nicht reden, reden, reden, Sondern einfach spielen!!! Ich will den Klang von der Pedale hören, nicht dich!!!!!!!!
Then leave leave leave and don’t watch watch watch! You might actually learn about the the pedal, the reverb and maybe pickup a lick or two. I guess your 5 year old attention span got the better of you.
