Universal Audio Starlight Echo Station: Explore a Universe of Delay Sounds
The Universal Audio Starlight Echo Station isn't just a delay pedal; it's a sonic gateway to a universe of echo effects. After three years of meticulous research and development, UA's engineers have captured the essence of legendary delay hardware, cramming it all into a single, beautifully crafted stompbox.
Unveiling Iconic Delays
Starlight Echo Station houses three meticulously recreated delay types:
-
Tape EP-III: Experience the definitive emulation of classic early-70s tape echo units. From the warm, musical preamp to the warble and flutter of tape, every nuance of the original hardware is here. Starlight even lets you tweak the character of your repeats with selectable "New," "Used," and "Worn" tape machine settings.
-
Analog Bucket-Brigade: UA meticulously captured the soul of vintage American bucket-brigade delays from the late 70s and early 80s. This faithful emulation delivers all the classic bucket-brigade hallmarks - the unmistakable "whoosh," vibrant chorus and vibrato textures, and a touch of haze.
-
Precision: For pristine, modern delays, Starlight's Precision mode offers a goldmine of sonic possibilities. Craft shimmering studio-grade flange and chorus effects, or pepper your parts with rhythmic ping-pong delays, adding movement and depth to your sound.
Immerse Yourself in Stereo Space
Starlight's powerful UAFX dual-engine processing takes your delays beyond the ordinary. This innovative technology runs separate stereo instances of each delay effect, essentially replicating two delay units running simultaneously. The result? A breathtakingly wide stereo spread, complex and awe-inspiring spatial textures, and seamless transitions between delay effects.
