Classic Delay Machines Reimagined for Your Pedalboard
The Universal Audio Starlight Echo Station isn’t just another delay pedal — it’s a showcase of Universal Audio’s world-class sound design and decades of analog modeling expertise. Built on UA’s UAFX dual-engine platform, Starlight gives guitarists the most authentic recreations of history’s most sought-after delay effects, packed into a rugged stompbox that’s equally at home in the studio or on stage.
From warm, saturated tape echoes to rich analog bucket-brigade repeats and pristine ’80s digital delay, Starlight captures every nuance of the original hardware units that defined entire eras of music. With flexible stereo I/O, real-time modulation, and app-based control, it’s the kind of delay pedal that feels like having three legendary machines under your foot — plus the reliability and power of modern technology.
Three Legendary Delay Voices in One Pedal
-
Tape EP-III – Modeled after a vintage Echoplex, this setting nails the organic warmth, tape saturation, and subtle modulation of a true tape echo. Perfect for slapback, classic rock tones, or ambient layering.
-
Analog DMM – A spot-on recreation of the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, delivering lush, dark repeats with natural degradation that melt into your playing. Add modulation for chorus-like textures.
-
Digital 1980s – Based on a high-resolution ’80s studio delay, this mode gives you crisp, hi-fi echoes with precise repeats that can stretch into infinity without losing clarity.
