Universal Audio

Universal Audio’s roots go back to Bill Putnam Sr.’s recording equipment work in 1958. The company now makes studio hardware and software alongside UAFX pedals that bring classic recording processors and amplifier sounds to a guitar rig. The line includes the 1176 Studio Compressor, Dream ’65 Reverb Amplifier, Starlight Echo Station, Galaxy ’74 Tape Echo and Evermore reverb. JustPedals carries several UAFX models, including Dream ’65, Starlight, Galaxy ’74 and the 1176. The range suits players looking for detailed, studio-inspired compression, amp tones, delays and reverbs in pedalboard formats.

Pedal Amps & Headphone Amps

Pedal-format amplifiers contain a power-amp stage, headphone driver or both, allowing a pedalboard signal to drive speakers or headphones directly. Output power and minimum speaker impedance are critical for power amps; headphone impedance, cabinet simulation and auxiliary inputs matter for silent monitoring. Some designs also provide preamp voicing, effects loops, balanced outputs or USB recording.

Amp Simulator

Recreates the gain structure, tone controls, compression and frequency response of a guitar or bass amplifier. The simulation may model only a preamp or extend through power-amp behaviour, allowing the result to range from clean amplification to dynamically responsive breakup.

Reverb

Builds a dense tail of reflections around the original sound. Early reflections establish apparent distance and size, while decay, diffusion, damping and modulation shape the density, brightness and movement of the later field. Pre-delay separates the dry attack from the ambience, and mix controls their relative level.
