Universal Audio Galaxy ’74 Tape Echo and Reverb Pedal

Universal Audio Galaxy 74 Tape Echo and Reverb Pedal Overview

Explore the Outer Limits of Analog Space and Time

Built upon award-winning UAFX dual-engine processing and one of the most sought-after studio tape delays ever made, the Universal Audio Galaxy 74 Tape Echo and Reverb Pedal from Universal Audio delivers the authentic, warmly warped sound of the classic Roland mid-’70s Space Echo multi-head delay. This pedal includes the genuine character of a vintage Space Echo box, including multiple tape heads, a fat analog preamp, and the lush spring reverb sound of the original, while also delivering updates for even wilder sounds, like dwell control, a self-oscillating tap tempo delay with double the length of the original machine, and the same dual-FX engine on all UAFX pedals that lets you run two separate stereo instances at once.
Organic tape sounds are present on the Universal Audio Galaxy 74 that will provide all the iconic Space Echo sounds you could want, such as wow, flutter, and tape saturation. You get plenty of control over your sound thanks to two dedicated footswitches (on/off and tap tempo), six knobs for controlling echo rate, feedback, echo volume, input volume (or tape age), dwell (or bass), and reverb volume (or treble) as well as two switches for selecting tape heads and alternate, secondary controls. You can also adjust footswitch settings, and effects, and customize unique oscillation sounds through the UAFX Control app via wireless Bluetooth.

Swim in Warm, Gritty Delay Textures

Get iconic tape textures filled with the musical wow, flutter, and saturation of the original Space Echo unit, and use the multi-head design—along with doubled delay times and tap tempo—to create rhythmic subdivisions not possible on the original hardware. You can even bend minds in real-time with self-oscillation for crazy runaway delay effects.

Get Lost in Cavernous Spring Reverb

Universal Audio Galaxy 74 gives you the authentic dub-heavy effects of the original’s spring reverb, along with a Dwell control for even wilder sounds, hurtling your tone into the cosmos. Enjoy lush, ambient shimmer or spacious, mind-bending tones for everything from the classic to the experimental.

Traverse the Cosmos with Dual Stereo FX Engines

Galaxy ’74’s powerful engine runs separate stereo instances of each reverb and delays for stunning three-dimensional stereo depth.

Personalize Your Pedal with the Mobile App

With the UAFX Control app, you can tweak footswitch settings, adjust real-time effects, and customize unique oscillation sounds to blast your tones into the stratosphere.

Convenient Connections

Stereo 1/4″ Hi-Z I/O provides you with lots of options for connectivity, just like all UAFX pedals. Connect either mono or stereo inputs and outputs, or use the 4-cable method to connect to both your amplifier input and effects loop at the same time as well as compatible multi-FX processors.
