A Stompbox Filled with Classic Studio Reverbs

Universal Audio’s stunning emulations of classic studio reverbs have become indispensable tools in the production arsenals of artists and engineers alike, including those of us at Sweetwater. Now, with the Universal Audio Golden Reverberator pedal, guitarists can take those breathtaking ambient reverbs out of the studio and place them on their pedalboards. Packed with three reverb types — Spring 65, Plate 140, and Hall 224 — the Golden Reverberator pedal can instantly go from splatty and splashy to lush and atmospheric, and anything in between. While the Golden Reverberator is built on the classics, it leverages its powerful DSP to expand the capabilities of the original units, delivering several modulation options, stereo and dual-mono operation, and the ability to switch between presets while allowing the effects to spill over and keep their tails intact. Have you always wanted to bring your favorite studio reverbs onstage? Don't delay in checking out the Golden Reverberator from Universal Audio!

Spring 65

Because of its dynamic nature, spring reverb is notoriously difficult to emulate. That’s why Universal Audio spent over three years developing the Spring 65 to capture every detail, nuance, splash, and drip of physical reverb tanks. With three unique variations of tube-driven tanks to choose from, Spring 65 will astound you with its uncanny accuracy.

Plate 140

An indispensable part of the larger-than-life studio recordings of the 1970s, plate reverbs are unmatched for their lush sound, shimmering tails, and ability to slip into a mix without muddying up the works. The Golden Reverberator’s Plate 140 provides three distinctive plates to fuse your guitar lines with epic atmospherics. Add new dimension to a singing solo or bathe strummed chords in a warm, reverberant wash for immersive soundscapes, among other applications.

Hall 224

One of the earliest professional-grade digital reverb units, the 224 was highly renowned for its crystal-clear reverbs and detailed tweakability. The Hall 224 provides a tasty alternative to the Spring 65 and Plate 140, with a modern edge suited for experimental and ambient guitar work. Choose from small, medium, and large hall settings to find the perfect environment for your guitar parts to sit, and independently control the decay of the high, mid, and low frequencies to tailor the reverb’s sound to any setting.

Two additional free effects: Plate 224 and Chamber 224

Along with the three stunning stock effects, Universal Audio adds a bonus in the form of offering two additional 224 effects when you register your Golden Reverberator — Plate 224 and Chamber 224 — which can be loaded onto the pedal via USB. Plate 224 boasts a sweet, bright top end that's perfect for clean guitars; Chamber 224 is echoic and brooding, making it ripe for ambient arrangements.

UAFX Control app for even more control

Download the UAFX Control app for iOS or Android and expand your sonic options. The app lets you switch between true bypass and trails bypass on your Golden Reverberator.

Rated 5/5
Excellent Reverb
I never liked spring reverb before, and then I played this. Now I love spring reverb. The ambient spring in particular is great, and it's not a spring sound you'd ever get in an amp. The lexicon emulations are incredible as well. All the reverbs have their own distinctive tone, and add their own harmonics to the signal, besides just making it sound far away. The controls are just enough to give you control, but not in a way that's what overwhelming. Best reverb I've heard.

Exceeds expectations!
When making my decision I had two considerations. One was keeping my tone intact and two, quality spring reverb. With pedal on and MIX turn completely down, tone remains intact, something I've only seen before with Strymon.
The spring reverb is amazing, especially with three tank options plus bass, treble and wow & flutter controls. The room and halls are fantastic as well.
I like having two presets to choose from and the app is very handy. I'm so happy I got this pedal. Highly recommend!

Golden is Right !
Since receiving my Universal Audio UAFX Golden Reverberator, I have been in reverb heaven. The depths and clarity of each effect is so much better than I had anticipated. I am still in the learning curve for creating and storing presets, mostly because I plugged it into my pedal board and can't stop playing with it. I also can't wait to try it out in my DAW. I also want to shoutout to my sales engineer, Spencer Kennedy. The day I received this pedal, I had a question. I called Spencer and he answered my question immediately. He has also called me twice in the last week just to make sure that everything is working properly and to see if I had any more questions. This is the kind of customer oriented service that makes Sweetwater rise to the top of all the online music stores. So thanks Spencer, and thanks Sweetwater!

Best Spring Reverb I've tried
I was a bit underwhelmed at first. On initial setup I plugged this into the effect loop of my amp and it just didn't really live up to all of the hype. For kicks and giggles I tried it in front of the amp and holy smokes what a difference. The spring reverb still has a little bit of a digital vibe, it does not sound exactly like a tube spring tank, but it sounds absolutely gorgeous. It is probably the best spring reverb tone I've ever gotten. There's a lush sparkle that just makes chords sing beautifully. It does it's own thing remarkably well. When you add in the portability and the intuitive control interface, this pedal is a total no brainer authentication price point. If your just looking for the best spring tone this is a great option. That's not to speak of the plate reverb which is every bit as good as their plug-in versions. I use the spring for lush clean tones and a plate for lead playing. Being able to switch back and forth is very convenient.

Gold Standard Reverb
I'm not the biggest expert in the world or anything, but this reverb sounds amazing to me. I specifically got a non reverb amp because I wanted to just get a top quality reverb pedal. After much research I went with the UA Golden Reverb and I'm very satisfied.
