UA Starlight Vs Classics & Our Delay Pedal Faves – That Pedal Show

Universal Audio has made a stellar new delay, but does it stand up to the classics?

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the show! The veritable recording legend that is Universal Audio has raised its gaze from the mixing desk and put its considerable know-how into an all-new range of guitar effects pedals.
The Starlight Echo Station is the first in our sights, so in this video we compare it to a real tape echo (albeit not the actual one it is modelled on) and an original Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man to see what’s what. For good measure we add a couple of perennial modern faves for interest.

Please note: Yes, we know the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo is not an EP-3. But it’s the closest thing we have. As we mention many times in the video.

Enjoy the show!
