Did UAD release any new pedals today?

[Jarick]

I couldn't tell.

I couldn't tell.

I’ve unsubscribed to that “group thread,” as it’s extremely annoying when a new product is released. There are channels that are much more subtle at it (usually days or weeks later), which I prefer.

Is that 1176 digital? Because if it is, then I might as well just buy the analogue Origin Effects Cali76 offering instead

Hmm. Different price point mind you. But... nahhh, don't care: I'd still get the more expensive analogue pedal haha

That 1176 just makes me wish I had a Cali 76 again.

If you're gonna sniff cork, sniff the best cork.

I had the Golden and the Starlight, the former longer than the latter. The Starlight sucked, IMO. Really disappointed by it. I dug the Golden though; I like the BlueSky better, but the Golden was good.

I guess I'll watch one of the 100 videos on these, to see if anything sticks out. Certainly impulse buy territory.

I still have the Golden. It sounds great.

Not convinced by the other stuff and not interested in their other pedal offerings where they constantly attempt to ham-fistedly cram functionality into the same form factor and number of knobs / switches that they originally chose (presumably for the Golden), when it doesn't make any sense. Really annoying!

Yeah it's weird; I'd totally re-buy the Golden, for example I'm thinking of a smaller, way more portable board that it'd work well on. But I've got zilch interest in anything else, and nothing in the new stuff.

In what world is £200 "affordable" ?!

3 of these = 1 Stomp with a billionty more effects.

I don't get these. They're just really expensive for barebones digital pedals no matter how great they sound.

The Orion Echo is 239 € incl. Finnish 24% VAT. A Strymon Brig is 298 €. For 59 € more you get a fully MIDI/expression controllable, stereo input/output pedal with presets.

While e.g Origin Effects Cali76 is 110 euros more expensive, it is also fully analog vs the digital 1176. With the UA pedals having about 3ms latency that's not necessarily great for things like compressors.

UA has had a pretty good run of releasing stuff I don’t have the slightest bit of interest in.

This company continue to prove they don’t know their own market.

 

[JiveTurkey]

They should partner with EHX

Excited for JHS to re-launch the brand in a couple decades.

2021: Users: "These delays and reverbs are nice, but we'd like modern digital pedal features please!" UA: "We have nothing to announce at this time."
2022: Users: "These amp sims are nice, but we'd like a Marshall amp sim pedal!" UA: "We have nothing to announce at this time."
2023: Users: "We'd like UA OX in stomp box form!" UA: "We have nothing to announce at this time."
2024: Users: "Surely we can get some of the above?" UA: "We have nothing to announce at this time."

You hated this shit then, but you’ll love it now!
