Yeah that seems to be the case, unfortunately.
They must be selling, so they may not care tbh.
I’ve wanted to try a couple of these, but I just can’t pay the ransom knowing I’d find the feature set lacking.

Whaaaat!? Am I reading this right? 
Looks like there isn't even a single saved preset switch on the new Galaxy pedal (like there is on the earlier UAFX pedals).
I'm feeling that JT's "spite" analysis is spot on!

Running with that thought: did anybody ever find out why UAFX insist on 500 Kilohms input for mono operation instead of 1M?
That's totally half of what I want and irritating AF!

I’m kicking around the idea, but I could basically just repost what I did for the last group of their pedals!

They seem to have really doubled down on the FU this time around though!

Still no UA Recto/5150/high gain variant pedal
I’ve come to the realization all of these companies focus on the same Fender/AC30/Plexi tones because the people designing them are old farts, making the pedals for themselves. (Or fellow old farts)
Disclaimer, I’m half joking, and this is said as a non-old fart, thinking of buying an old fart amp to use as my primary rig in a pedal/clean platform, making me a non-old fart, old fart.

In that case they could at least come up with some Dumble.

Their Dream '65 Reverb pedal has a Dumble mode.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

They'll probably call it something like "Cream '68" if they stick to the current naming convention they've got for these.
Assuming it will be based on a 68 plexi because that's basically the yardstick. Or they could go for '59' and confuse the hell out of everyone by mistaking 1959 for a year.

Time for Dylan to show up with a headless Kiesel. That'll teach them.

I dunno, I hear Friedman already trademarked "Cream 69" for use with guitar amplifier products and UA might be worried a out getting too close to that...They'll probably call it something like "Cream '68" if they stick to the current naming convention they've got for these.

While I can agree with that, those three amps cover about 90% of sounds most people need, especially on boxes meant to be paired with other pedals. I can understand wanting something that is more dedicated to high gain models though as that's a category not very well covered by these sort of units. Strymon Riverside + Iridium + the right IR does do that stuff pretty well I reckon, but at that point it's basically a HX Stomp size thing.I’ve come to the realization all of these companies focus on the same Fender/AC30/Plexi tones because the people designing them are old farts, making the pedals for themselves.

For UA pedals, I feel like they designed one of them, then tried to figure out how to make the rest work. The Golden works well enough for its concept - it's not like you need a huge ton of different reverb options footswitchable. The Astra totally fails when put into that same setup because the average user would want more than two different modulations while at the same time its labeled controls in 90% of the cases don't do what is printed on it.
In the same way the Dream '65 works within its design concept. It gets really, really weird for the Ruby though when its treble/bass controls only work in the Brilliant channel mode. Like...why? Authenticity? But digital can do much more, just have it be "authentic with those knobs at min, max or noon. It's what made me wonder if these pedals are just machine learning models underneath it all because the behavior is very much like that - only the controls on the real amp and never deviating from that.
