Authentic Analog-style Echo No Tape Required

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 originals 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 74s 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 74s 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 preamps 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.
