Description


Unmatched Authentic Vintage and Modern Delay Effects.

After three years of R&D, Universal Audios leading engineers emerged with the most sonically-authentic versions of classic tape, bucket-brigade, and digital delay hardware ever put into a pedal.

Introducing Starlight Echo Station. UAs flagship stereo delay pedal harnesses powerful UAFX dual-engine processing for unmatched vintage and modern delay effects, built to inspire for decades to come.

Tape EP-III
Perfectly Captured Tape Delay and Preamp
Starlight Echo Station's Tape EP-III delivers the most complete circuit emulation of classic Early-'70s tape echo. From their incredibly musical preamp right down to the wow/flutter randomness and tape splice, every trait of the original hardware is here. Plus, users can tweak repeats with New, Used, and Worn tape machines for added color and texture.

Analog DMM
Iconic Bucket-Brigade Effects
UA hand picked multiple units of vintage American bucket-brigade delays from the late-'70s/early-80s. A faithful emulation of the entire circuit, right down to the colorful preamp and unpredictable clock rate dumping, Starlight delivers all the startling "whoosh" effects, vibrato and chorus textures, and haziness of classic bucket-brigade delay.

Precision
Hi-Fi Delays, Inspired Modulation
Featuring pristine repeats with shimmering modulation effects, the Precision effect is a goldmine of modern delays. Users can easily craft with hi-fi studio-grade flange and chorusing textures and pepper their creations with ping-ponging repeats, adding movement and interest to parts.

Dual Stereo Delay Engines for Endless Creativity
Starlight's dual-engine processing powers separate stereo instances of each delay effect. It's like having two tape or bucket-brigade hardware units running simultaneously, giving users a full stereo spread of complex, awe-inspiring spatial textures, and seamless delay effect transitions with trails.

Expand your Effects with MIDI Control
Using its rear panel USB-to-MIDI connection, Starlight Echo Station fits right into your programmable MIDI rig, receiving preset changes, BPM clock sync, and more. Its the fast ticket to live performance heaven. Requires a compatible USB MIDI host, controller, or interface.

Powerful App Control with Hardwired or Bluetooth Connection
The UAFX Control app is key to deep tone shaping letting you customize, save, and manage your effects. Plug right in with a direct "hardwired" USB connection to your smart phone, or enjoy rock-solid control over Bluetooth.

If you don't need presets, this pedal is fantastic. The delay tones you can get out of the Starlight are fat and vintage warm. I does a great job of replicating a wide veriaty of different delays from real tape delays to Strymon /Eventide type delays. It sounds awesome in stereo and the division knob is a super fast way to go through different time values to a given tempo. It's like a high end rack delay in a pedal.

If you love vintage tape and analog delays, the Starlight is for you. The bonus delay is very good too. The Precision digital delay is good, but not the quality of the tape and analog. Built like a tank. Love it. Replaced a Timeline.

I Own it. Works as advertised. Love how it echoes with my guitar sounds - sounds - sounds! Click. Sorry about that. Anyway the quality and range of sounds makes it versatile
for a range of material. From tight slap back (ouch) echoes to
longer speciousness. I love it.

So I get all the ideas put into it, but having three different types of delay, THEN making all the knobs work differently with each make it a lousy "live" pedal, as adjusting on the fly simply sucks. The sounds themselves are great, but in real time, its a pain to function. Tried to love it for two weeks, but I'm off to replace it today with a Strymon.

Beautiful pedal both sonically and esthetically. A bit on the pricey side, but after watching multiple online reviews and videos (JHS Pedal Show in particular) I absolutely had to pull the trigger and try it for myself. I was blown away how easy it was to use right out of the box without knowing what all the knobs do. Had to download the "control maps" PDF.doc from UAFX com made it simpler to understand the knobs which I just printed out and placed on my music stand for now. From old school 70's worn out/ trashed tape delays to futuristic infinite spacial echos (Flanger mod), this pedal seems to do it all. So far, I'm in love with the Tape EP-III settings! I have yet to get familiar with the "store/ recall" option, but I can already tell it's going to be absolutely necessary especially when switching from Tape to Analog or Precision (knobs work differently in different modes)

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
