Product Overview

Decades of World-Class Studio Ambience Under Your Boots

Universal Audio has long been revered as the industry leader in studio-grade processing and algorithmic reverb design. The Universal Audio UAFX Golden Reverberator distills that uncompromising legacy into a road-ready, heavy-duty stompbox. This pedal is designed for musicians, ambient soundscape creators, and studio producers who refuse to settle for flat, static digital simulations.

At the core of the Golden Reverberator is a powerful dual-engine UAFX processor. It runs independent stereo instances of each reverb type simultaneously, generating massive three-dimensional spatial fields, rich decay paths, and complex acoustic environments. Whether you want the physical, splashy bounce of a late-'60s tube guitar amp spring, the lush, velvet decay of a legendary German studio plate, or a pristine, crystalline 1980s digital hall, the Golden Reverberator responds with unparalleled audio fidelity and organic musicality.

Product Description

Three Definitive Reverb Engines and Custom Preamp Voice Profiles:

The Golden Reverberator comes equipped with three masterfully modeled reverb machines, with a fourth available immediately upon hardware registration:

• Spring 65: A flawless component-level emulation of three distinct custom guitar amp spring tanks from the mid-1960s. It captures the physical "boing," spring rattle, and splashy harmonic tube response of a vintage spring unit. The A/B/C variation switch lets you select between three completely different spring-tank setups, complete with the highly coveted tube-driven preamp saturation of the original circuits.

• Plate 140: Recreates the velvety smoothness and organic decay of the world's most famous German studio plate reverb captured at The Plant studios in California. This mode provides three distinct plate voicings (A, B, and C) ranging from bright and metallic to warm, dark, and pillowy, ideal for adding dense acoustic weight to clean guitars, vocals, or synthesizers.

• Hall 224: A goldmine of late-1980s studio luxury. This bit-for-bit digital algorithm captures the exact decay curves, lush chorused modulation, and iconic bass/treble split controls of the definitive studio digital rack unit. It features Room, Small Hall, and Large Hall programs that bloom with immersive, vintage high-fi ambient texturing.

• Bonus Chamber & Plate (Free on Registration): A stunning emulation of a classic 1970s acoustic studio chamber and digital plate system, perfect for tight, organic spatial depth and short slapback ambiance.

Advanced Controls, Live/Preset Modes, and Spillover Trails:

The physical control interface provides instant access to crucial sound-shaping parameters. The Bass and Treble controls let you fine-tune the high and low-frequency behavior of the reverb tail, while the Mod knob dials in dedicated pitch-modulation depth or chorus accents inside the reverb reflections.

The dual-footswitch design enables seamless operation on stage. The right footswitch acts as a dedicated Preset recall switch (or can be reconfigured for tap tempo/modulation behavior), while the left switch engages the effect. With Live/Preset modes, you can toggle between your current physical knob positions and a saved favorite preset instantly. Thanks to the massive internal processing overhead, switching between modes happens with dead-silent relay switching and full effect spillover/trails, ensuring your ambient trails never snap off unnaturally when you bypass the pedal or swap patches.

Modern Connectivity and App Integration:

The Golden Reverberator features true stereo input and output ports with automatic detection, ensuring a massive stereo field or perfect routing into a wet/dry/wet live amplifier configuration. It retains an analog dry path to ensure your raw guitar tone remains completely uncorrupted.

Equipped with a built-in Bluetooth chip and a rear-panel USB-C port, the pedal connects effortlessly to the UAFX Control mobile and desktop app. The app unlocks advanced under-the-hood global settings, provides programmable MIDI clock sync synchronization, changes bypass routing (True Bypass vs. Buffered Trails), and lets you customize the dual footswitch behaviors.
