Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station Delay Pedal – Used

Quick Product Summary

The Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station is a premium stereo delay pedal designed to recreate some of the most celebrated tape, bucket-brigade and studio digital delay sounds in a rugged pedalboard format.

This used example is in Good condition, with cosmetic signs of previous ownership and normal pedalboard use. Its Tape EP-III, Analog DMM and Precision engines cover everything from warm, worn tape echoes and rich analogue repeats to pristine modern digital delay, while stereo processing, tap tempo, modulation and preset functionality make it equally capable for straightforward rigs and sophisticated ambient setups.

What Makes the UAFX Starlight Echo Station Stand Out?

Tape EP-III

The Tape EP-III engine recreates the character of classic early-'70s tape echo hardware, including tape wear, wow and flutter, saturation and the character of the original preamp circuitry. Three variations provide different machine and tape conditions from cleaner to increasingly worn and warbled.

Analog DMM

The Analog DMM mode captures the warm repeats, modulation and distinctive character associated with classic bucket-brigade analogue delay hardware. It can move from smooth vintage echoes through to chorus, vibrato and self-oscillating textures.

Precision Digital Delay

Precision provides clear, studio-style digital repeats with extended delay times and modern modulation options. It is ideal for rhythmic delay, wide stereo textures and clean atmospheric sounds.

Stereo Dual-Engine Processing

The Starlight uses powerful dual-engine processing to create separate stereo instances of its delay algorithms, providing a wide spatial image when used with a stereo amplifier or recording setup.

Preset & Live Modes

Live mode follows the physical knob settings, while Preset mode allows a favourite sound to be stored and recalled from the pedal.

Who Is It For?

The Starlight Echo Station is ideal for guitarists who want high-quality vintage and modern delay sounds without relying on a large multi-effects processor.

It particularly suits ambient, indie, alternative, progressive, blues, rock and studio guitar work, while its stereo operation, tap tempo and MIDI capabilities make it equally attractive for more advanced pedalboard systems.

Power Requirements

The Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station requires an isolated 9V DC centre-negative power supply capable of providing at least 400mA.

A suitable isolated supply is important because the Starlight is a high-performance digital effects processor and requires considerably more current than many traditional analogue pedals.

No power supply is included with this used pedal.

FAQs

What type of pedal is the UAFX Starlight Echo Station?

The Starlight is a premium stereo delay pedal featuring detailed recreations of tape, bucket-brigade analogue and studio-quality digital delay sounds.

What delay types are included?

The three main effects are Tape EP-III, Analog DMM and Precision.

What is Tape EP-III mode?

Tape EP-III recreates the character of classic tape echo hardware, including tape saturation, wow, flutter and different levels of tape wear.

What is Analog DMM mode?

Analog DMM recreates a classic bucket-brigade analogue delay with warm repeats, modulation and the ability to move into self-oscillating textures.

What is Precision mode?

Precision provides cleaner, high-fidelity digital delays with modern modulation and extended delay times.

What is the Cooper Time Cube effect?

Cooper Time Cube is an additional delay algorithm available after registering the pedal, inspired by the unusual studio delay device of the same name.

What is the longest delay time?

The standard Precision engine reaches up to 1500ms, while the Cooper Time Cube bonus effect extends to 2500ms.

Does the Starlight support tap tempo?

Yes. Tap tempo is available through the right footswitch.

Are rhythmic subdivisions available?

Yes. The Division control provides quarter-note, dotted-eighth, eighth-note, triplet and dual-delay subdivision options.

Does it work in stereo?

Yes. The Starlight features stereo inputs and outputs and uses dual-engine processing to create wide stereo effects.

Can it create ping-pong delays?

Yes. Certain Division settings create stereo ping-pong delay patterns.

Can I save a preset?

Yes. A favourite sound can be stored and recalled using Preset mode.

Does it support MIDI?

Yes. Current firmware provides MIDI-over-USB, including parameter control, preset changes and MIDI clock functionality.

Can it synchronise to MIDI clock?

Yes. MIDI clock synchronisation is supported with compatible equipment.

Does it have Bluetooth?

Yes. Bluetooth is used with the UAFX Control app for configuration and additional control.

Does it have true bypass?

Yes. The pedal can operate with true bypass or be configured for buffered/trails bypass.

What does trails bypass do?

Trails mode allows existing delay repeats to continue naturally after the effect is switched off.

Is the dry signal analogue?

Yes. The Starlight uses analogue dry-through in its normal modes.

What power supply does it need?

It requires an isolated 9V DC centre-negative supply rated at 400mA or greater.

Is a power supply included?

No. No power supply is included with this used Starlight Echo Station.

What condition is this example in?

This example is graded Good, with cosmetic signs of previous use consistent with a pre-owned effects pedal.
