The Universal Audio Galaxy ’74 Tape Echo & Reverb pedal is an expertly crafted emulation of a lauded ‘70s-era Japanese tape reverb/delay unit, with an all-encompassing slew of upgrades that arguably make it an upgrade over the vintage original. Every nuance of the original’s wow, flutter, and gritty preamp are perfectly replicated, offering full modeling of the multi-head tape delay mechanism, tap tempo, and twice the repeat time. This results in an exceptionally warm, rich analog repeat with rhythmic possibilities that were simply impossible on the original unit. And while the ’74 Tape Echo sports a robust control section to dial in your sound, a quick flip of the Alt switch unlocks secondary functions on the bottom three knobs to further tweak your tone. Finally, pairing your Galaxy ’74 with the UAFX Control app allows you to swap the footswitch functions between Effects/Performance mode and Delay/Reverb mode, unlocking everything from feedback swells to echo rate ramps to bog-standard bypass options.

Wow, flutter, grit, repeat

Galaxy ‘74’s uniquely warm, atmospheric, and somewhat rough nature is inspired by one of music history's most beloved tape echo units. This pedal begins with that tone as a foundation, then surpasses it. Along with your typical Rate and Feedback controls, the Galaxy ’74’s delay section controls boast a 3-way Head Select switch and a Tape Age knob to crank up the old-school character. And while the original unit was primarily designed as a delay and reverb unit, the preamp’s unique response has become equally sought-after over the years. Thankfully, Universal Audio equipped the Galaxy ’74 with a nearly indistinguishable sonic clone of that very preamp design to fully capture the vintage vibe of the original

The springy reverb sound of the ’70s

There’s no better effect to pair with a tape-style echo than a splashy spring reverb. Luckily, the Galaxy ’74 sports a cavernous wash of spring-style echo to layer your soundscapes! This reverb is a spot-on re-creation of the original unit’s true spring reverb tank, complete with a dwell knob for enhanced atmosphere and wild, dripping tones. Plus, Music Experience guitarists appreciate how the Galaxy ’74 can be configured for either trails on or off operation, allowing your reverb to decay naturally even when you disengage the reverb section.

UAFX Control app for enhanced adjustability

Compatible with any iOS or Android device, Universal Audio’s UAFX Control app opens up a whole new realm of sonic possibilities. Pair up your Galaxy ’74 with UAFX Control to access versatile footswitch control configurations, real-time effect adjustments, oscillation options, and many other sound-sculpting features.
