In 2021, music hardware/software experts Universal Audio launched their UAFX line of guitar effects pedals — bringing the same class-leading innovation and ease-of-use of its pro audio products to a tactile, plug-and-play stompbox format. The range has been expanded with the addition of the Galaxy ’74 Tape Echo & Reverb, which captures the warm, warped, relentlessly-analogue effects of the iconic mid-’70s Roland Space Echo hardware for a crayon box of lush textures, right at your feet!

Swim In Warm, Gritty Delay Textures

Get iconic tape textures filled with the musical “wow”, flutter and saturation of the original Space Echo unit, and use the multi-head design (along with doubled delay times and tap tempo) to create rhythmic subdivisions not possible on the original hardware. You can even bend minds in realtime with self-oscillation for crazy, runaway delay effects!

Get Lost in Cavernous Spring Reverb

Universal Audio boldly believe that only their Galaxy ’74 gives you the authentic, dub-heavy effects of the original’s spring reverb. Along with a Dwell control for even wilder sounds, the Galaxy ’74 hurtles your tone into the cosmos, with textures that leave other emulators of this hallowed hardware behind in a puff of space dust!

Dual Stereo Effect Engines

The UAFX Galaxy ’74’s powerful engine runs separate stereo instances of each reverb and delay — for stunning three-dimensional stereo depth that is practically unmatched by any other stompbox.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Delay — Delay is an effect that records the guitar signal and plays it back after a short period of time, creating an echo or repeat. By adjusting the time, feedback, and level, delay can add subtle depth and space or produce rhythmic, expressive repeats that enhance lead lines, ambient textures, and overall atmosphere.. Echo. Reverb — Reverb (short for reverberation) is an audio effect that simulates the natural reflections of sound in a physical space. When you play in a room, hall, or cathedral, the sound waves bounce off the walls, ceiling, and floor, creating a sense of depth and ambience. Reverb pedals and processors recreate this effect electronically, allowing guitarists and producers to shape how “big” or “live” their sound feels. From short, springy echoes that mimic vintage amp tanks to lush, atmospheric washes used in ambient or shoegaze music, reverb adds dimension and realism — turning a dry, flat tone into something immersive and expressive..
