Over the course of three years, Universal Audio?s leading engineers embarked on a mission: to put sonically-perfected emulations of famed tube-driven spring, studio plate, and vintage digital reverbs into an effects pedal. Harnessing powerful UAFX dual-engine processing for unprecedented levels of sonic authenticity, Golden Reverberator packs decades of classic reverb effects into a beautifully crafted stompbox that?s built to inspire for decades. Universal Audio auditioned over two dozen spring reverbs, ultimately handpicking and modeling three tanks from a trio of vintage amps. This “whole amp” approach faithfully captures each reverb circuit’s unique tube clipping character, resulting in all the drip, clang, whistles, and overtones of real tube-driven spring reverb. The sound of late-1950s studio plate reverb is integral to more than 60 years of classic recorded guitar tones. Golden’s three uniquely voiced plate effects emulate the actual studio plate reverbs from The Plant recording studio in Sausalito, California. Plus, users can easily inject additional modulation for added texture. Since the 1970?s, digital studio reverb has allowed progressive guitarists to venture deep into atmospheric exploration. Golden Reverberator’s Hall 224 effect gives users the exact, bit-for-bit algorithms of a studio staple digital processor, with all of the lush, grainy trails and modulation textures. Golden Reverberator’s powerful engine runs separate stereo instances of each reverb effect. This dual-engine processing results in a stereo spread of complex, awe-inspiring spatial textures for an immersive, three-dimensional playing experience. With modern, high-powered features like studio grade conversion, dual processing engines, Live/Preset modes, analog dry through, and selectable true or buffered bypass via the UAFX Control app, Golden Reverberator radiates pure reverb perfection in a beautiful stompbox that’s built to last decades.
