The Starlight Echo Station is UA's flagship delay pedal. It covers tape echo with selectable New, Used and Worn tape machines, bucket-brigade analog delay with the colour and haze of the original hardware, and clean studio digital delays. A Cooper Time Cube delay unlocks on registration.
Players who want tape, analog and digital in one stereo pedal get presets, silent switching, spillover, optional preamp colour, tap tempo, true or buffered trails bypass and MIDI control through the UAFX Control app. If you mostly want tape echo, the Orion and Galaxy '74 are worth comparing.
