A Bit About UAFX
UAFX are a branch of Universal Audio, who are massive in the plugin industry, producing mixing and mastering software based on extremely high-end, and often, rare hardware units.
They are used by a huge number of professionals around the world and are regarded as second-to-none in quality.
And this is why their first foray into guitar effects pedals has made so many people, including myself, extremely excited.
So, let’s take a look at the Golden Reverberator.
What is it?
The Golden is a high-end digital reverb pedal, and the sounds are based on vintage units.
The types of reverb on offer are the three classics of: Spring, Plate and Hall.
Also, on registering the pedal you receive access to a fourth: Chamber and Plate 224.
What it’s not:
And here is one of the main points that you do need to think about. The Golden is not intended for massive ambient swells, there is no ‘shimmer’ reverb, there is no reverse reverb, there is very limited preset functionality, there is no midi.
However, if you’re after a reverb pedal that sounds absolutely incredible, which has beautiful, realistic tones that inspire you to play, then this could well be the unit for you.
Let’s take a closer look.
