New UA Stomp Boxes

Post by dante »

Upcoming (preorder) from NAMM : These guys look cool but a bit expensive ?

e.g. For the same price as the UA Starlight Echo Station you can get a Strymon Volante which has more knobs and reputation :lol:

Well pedals overall seem much more expensive these days than when I last used em in '90s To me, a chorus is a chorus but now you can have 'Super' chorus (?) What is that - quadraphonic ?

A long assed infomercial with a dorky guy running the show. (Technical difficulties with the video conferencing LOL.....amateurs!)

I think these will give Strymon a run for the money. Yup about 300-400 seems the median for a good quality multi function stomp box these days.

Cheaper than other SHARC DSP Based boxes like Strymon and Neo.

I’m already tired of Scope’s Reverb.
Regret selling my Fireworx so probably get a TC or Lexicon from Craigslist/eBay/Reverb.
The older models, even using their analog I/O still have a great sound.

I’m back to wanting a splash of a good room algorithm.
Just to add some presence on a carpeted stage.
My Strymons have great Caves, Canyons and Cathedrals but not good for small spaces or stage ambience.

I’d try one of the UADs but they’re pretty much the same as every other SHARC DSP based effects pedal/PCs.

Likely due to power requirements these aren't Sharc based - so maybe ARM or FPGA (speculation).
