The Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station belongs to the series of the first three guitar pedals ever released by the US company, a dominant force in the pro audio peripherals but also in the DSP-powered plugins market. That kind of expertise must have come in handy when working on stompboxes that simulate classic analog effects.
The Starlight is a Tap-Tempo enabled, Stereo, digital, 3-mode (plus 1) delay/echo pedal with 3 variations for each mode. It also offers preset capability, and features six knobs controlling Delay, Mix, Feedback, Subdivision, Color, and Modulation.
Here’s the list of modes:
- Tape EP-III: Voiced after three tape echos from the ’60s, with settings for tape age and preamp color
- Analog DMM: Simulates the classic, gritty analog “bucket brigade” delay with enveloping modulation modes and subdivisions
- Precision: Offers three crystal-clear digital delays with endless trails and optional modulation, derived from the UAD plug-in library
- Bonus Effect: A free Cooper Time Cube delay, downloadable at registration
The pedal seems to have just one input and one output but can be configured in stereo/dual mono operation – we assume – through a single stereo out.
