pedal in the signal chain will be ‘ live ’. Turning all UXFX amp pedals off will take you back to your actual amp ’ s pre-amp . This feature is exceedingly cool !
While there are some other groovy features , those are the ones that really stuck out to me . So , with that box checked , let ’ s talk about the pedals !
STARLIGHT ECHO STATION In addition to models of the EXH Deluxe Memory Man and Echoplex EP3 delays , you also have the option of coloring your direct signal with the preamps of these iconic delays , which is uber-cool . Suggested starting place for worship guitar players is the EP Smash Comp Tape2 preset .
’ 63 RUBY Based on the aforementioned AC30 , this is the other home where we like to hang our jangle hat . Lots of great speaker cab and drive options on this one including the Rangemaster Treble Booster made famous by Brian May . Suggested starting place for worship guitar players is Derek Wells ’ The Situation Is Dire ’ artist preset , with the Volume dialed back to 9:00 .
ASTRA MODULATION MACHINE Besides the incredible audio fidelity , what makes this pedal most cool is the stereo options it delivers , especially for the model of the MXR Phase 90 which is traditionally a mono pedal . Suggested starting place for worship guitar players is the Double Dual Chorus Imaging preset ( you ’ ll need to push this from the app ).
’ 55 WOODROW While the Edge is most often seen with an AC30 , the only signature amp he ’ s done is the Fender Edge Deluxe . If you ’ re looking for jangle , this is where it all started . The ability to dial the Mic input a bit hotter than the Instrument input adds just the right amount of body . Suggested starting place for worship guitar players is the Spanky Strat Funk preset .
’ 65 DREAM In addition to featuring a number of great takes on the Deluxe Reverb , I love the fact that they included a S-Verb cabinet which is based on a 4x10 speaker configuration from a Super Reverb . Suggested starting place for worship guitar players is Studio Rhythm Chunk preset with the Treble backed off to 10:00 .
GOLDEN REVERBERATOR In addition to UA ’ s amazing Plate 140 presets ( based on the EMT 140 at the now defunct The Plant studios in San Rafael , CA ), the bonus Plate 224 preset ( based on the Lexicon 224 ) is my jam . I literally pull it up every time I track in Pro Tools , amazing sound . That said , my suggested starting place for worship guitar players is the 224 Lg Hall B Spacious preset .
Whether you ’ re a modeling fan or analog fanatic , the UAFX pedals and OX Amp Top Box deliver world class tones and features with outstanding form and function . Simply put , tone for days … and days !
