Golden Reverberator
Harnessing more than 20 years of reverb modeling expertise, UAFX Golden Reverberator puts a trio of iconic reverbs right at your feet. The tube-driven spring reverb of classic ’60s guitar amps. The dense and haunting sound of ’50s studio plate reverbs. The endless algorithmic wonder of early digital reverb hardware. Built upon powerful UAFX dual‑engine processing and unprecedented levels of sonic authenticity, Golden Reverberator is a flagship, no‑compromise reverb unit, built to inspire you for decades.
Now you can get the unmistakable drip of three “golden unit” spring reverb tanks, pulled from classic ’60’s American guitar amps, quickly access sounds with Live/Preset modes, and play with silent switching, and true or trails bypass with spillover and sculpt huge, three-dimensional tones with exact, bit‑for‑bit vintage digital reverb algorithms.
Spring 65: A Trio of Authentic Vintage Amp Reverbs
The tube-driven spring reverb from classic ’60s American guitar amps is a heavenly sound like no other. But no two spring reverb tanks sound alike. So we auditioned over two dozen tanks, ultimately handpicking and modeling three tanks from a trio of vintage amps. Unlike other spring reverb emulations, UA’s “whole amp” approach faithfully captures each reverb circuit’s unique tube clipping character. The end result is all the drip, clang, whistles, and overtones of real tube‑driven spring reverb.
Plate 140: A Classic Palette of Rich Studio Plates
The dense, haunting sound of late-1950s studio plate reverb is integral to more than 60 years of classic recorded guitar tones. Golden Reverberator’s three uniquely voiced plates — sourced from The Plant recording studio in Sausalito, California — frame your tones in hazy ambience as warm as the midday sun. Plus, you can easily add ripples of rich analog modulation to add texture.
Hall 224: A World of Late-’70s Vintage Digital Ambience
Introduced in the late 1970s, digital studio reverb allowed progressive guitarists to venture further into atmospheric exploration — fueling the platinum pop and alt‑rock guitar tones of the ‘80s, ‘90s, and beyond. Golden Reverberator’s Hall 224 effect gives you the exact, bit-for-bit algorithms of a studio staple, with all of their lush, grainy trails and mesmerizing modulation textures.
Specs
Knobs
- Decay
- Adjusts the reverb tail time. The result from changing the Decay knob varies depending on the active effect.
- Predelay
- Adjusts the time before reverb onset. The result from changing the Predelay knob varies depending on the active effect.
- Mix
- Adjusts the level of reverb that is mixed in with the dry signal. When you rotate this knob fully clockwise, the signal becomes fully 100% wet — you only hear the reverb signal and the dry signal is muted (kill dry).
- Bass
- Adjusts the low frequency response or decay for the reverb tail. Set Bass in the middle for the default sound. Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to reduce bass content, or rotate clockwise to increase bass response. The result from changing the Bass control varies depending on the active effect.
- Treble
- Adjusts the high response or decay for the reverb tail. Set Treble in the middle for the default sound. Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to reduce treble response, or rotate clockwise to increase treble response. The result from changing the Treble control varies depending on the active effect.
- Mod
- Adjusts the amount and/or rate of modulation added to the selected reverb. The Mod control function varies depending on the active effect.
- Effect Type
- Push this switch up or down to change the reverb model. When you push the switch repeatedly in the same direction, the pedal cycles through all available effects.
- Store
- The STORE switch saves the current sound as the preset.
- Variation A/B/C
- Each reverb model (Spring 65, Plate 140, Hall 224, Chamber & Plate 224) includes three effect variations that are selectable with the A/B/C switch. These variations are unique voicings within each reverb type. Use the A/B/C switch to select variations within the selected reverb type.
- Left Footswitch
- Press to toggle the Live mode effect on/off with current knob and switch settings.
- Right Footswitch
- Press to toggle the preset on/off with stored settings.
