TAKE A LISTEN
Swim in Warm, Gritty Delay Textures
Get iconic tape textures filled with the musical wow and 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 realtime with self-oscillation for crazy runaway delay effects.
Get Lost in Cavernous Spring Reverb
Only 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, with textures that leave other emulators of this hallowed hardware behind in a puff of space dust.
Traverse the Cosmos with Dual Stereo Effect Engines
Galaxy '74's powerful engine runs separate stereo instances of each reverb and delay — for stunning three-dimensional stereo depth that is unmatched by any other stompbox.
Personalize your Pedal with a Mobile App
With the UAFX Control app, you can tweak footswitch settings, adjust realtime effects, and customize unique oscillation sounds to blast your tones into the stratosphere.

It's the real deal
I owned a Roland Space Echo and played it live and in studio for years. This thing is as close as I've ever heard in getting the pure vibe that the SE could get in digital pedal form....

It's the real deal
I owned a Roland Space Echo and played it live and in studio for years. This thing is as close as I've ever heard in getting the pure vibe that the SE could get in digital pedal form. That includes the Boss pedal releases (although those sound damn good too in my opinion). The sound and feel of this pedal is SO cool. Tons of vibe, just like the real SE. Sonically, I don't think it gets more 'tape' than this can get.
Only downside I can list is that there is a LOT of interaction between the input volume, feedback and echo volume. Just like the real thing.. you can get SUPER subtle with this pedal. but you can also get "WAY TOO FAR". I have the UA Golden Reverb also and it takes a second to actually dial it in to what I want.. but once you dial it in. It's perfection.
The Galaxy is similar... Once I figured out the interaction between input volume and echo volume.. The thing is simply magic.
