All About the Universal Audio Xmas Raffle
Universal Audio Volt 2 USB Recording Studio, UAFX Orion Tape Echo and UAFX Heavenly Plate Reverb Up for Grabs
Christmas has finally arrived. And that means the last GEARNEWS XMAS raffle has started (free to enter, of course). We look back on the last few weeks’ competitions and the fantastic response from you, and say thank you to you, our readers, with these promotions!
This week we have a big package from Universal Audio under the Christmas tree. It includes the Universal Audio Volt 2 USB Recording Studio audio interface and the UAFX Orion Tape Echo and UAFX Heavenly Plate Reverb effects pedals.
Universal Audio Volt 2 USB Recording Studio
Universal Audio’s Volt 2 USB audio interface is designed for singers, songwriters, guitarists and content creators who want to make professional audio recordings quickly and easily. The 2-in/2-out USB audio interface delivers impressive sound quality inspired by UA’s legendary tube preamps used to record Ray Charles and Van Halen. The vintage mic preamp mode delivers a rich, analogue sound that makes voices and instruments sound warm and full.
Volt 2 integrates into any environment – Mac, PC, iPad or iPhone – for recording at home or on the go. It features minimal latency, rugged, durable metal construction and a sleek, vintage-inspired design. It is easy to use and gets you up and running quickly: microphones, guitars or synthesizers are easily connected, and speakers or headphones provide latency-free monitoring sound.
Volt 2 comes with an extensive software bundle that includes Ableton Live Lite, virtual instruments such as the UJAM Virtual Drummer and plugins from renowned developers such as Softube and Celemony. Classics such as the Marshall Plexi Classic Amp and the Ampeg SVT-VR Classic are also included.
You can even use an iPad or iPhone to record and edit beats, vocals, instruments and simple samples on the go. The combination of classic UA sound quality and modern technology makes Volt 2 a versatile tool for music production, podcasts and livestreams. So if you want a powerful, compact audio interface with legendary sound and a great software package, enter our Christmas competition here.
UAFX Orion Tape Echo and UAFX Heavenly Plate Reverb
To complete the Volt 2 package with additional hardware effects, Universal Audio has gone one step further. The UAFX Orion Tape Echo and the UAFX Heavenly Plate Reverb are also included. Awesome!
Universal Audio’s Orion Tape Echo emulates the legendary sound of the Maestro Echoplex EP-III tape echo from the 1970s. It combines warm analogue tape delay effects with the legendary EP-III preamp, which adds punch and characteristic saturation to the sound. Three different types of tape – mint, worn and old – plus the Wonk control offer organic modulation and versatile sound options, from clean repeats to experimental textures.
The Heavenly Plate Reverb Pedal brings the sound of 1950s studio plate reverbs to any pedalboard in a compact package. Based on the award-winning algorithms of the Golden Reverberator, the pedal delivers dense reverb textures that faithfully capture the character of vintage German plate reverbs. Three different plate voicings – vintage bright, vintage dark and modern full – allow for warm, subtle rooms as well as spacious, floating reverbs. Pre-delay, EQ, modulation and rate controls allow you to quickly adjust the reverb sound. The sound is always authentic, regardless of the size or intensity of the reverb.
Both compact pedals feature true/trails bypass, rugged construction and flexible switching options. On stage or in the studio, these pedals are perfect for any setup.
