Universal Audio Astra Modulation Machine Effect Pedal

Always wanted the sound of Universal Audio plug-ins at your feet? The UA Astra features their popular chorus, flanger, tremolo, and phaser effects.

The Astra Modulation Machine is a flagship, no-compromise guitar effect pedal that establishes a benchmark for classic modulation effects, with sonic authenticity far beyond all other stompboxes. The Astra Modulation Machine features 3 legendary effects, Stereo/Dual Mono operation, True Bypass with Silent Switching, an optional Buffered Bypass via software, Analog Dry-Through, and a Preset Mode to recall stored settings.

Chorus Brigade

Based on the classic CE-1, the Chorus Brigade tone emulates every inch of this legendary pedal, expertly capturing its legendary bucket-brigade circuit.

Flanger/DBLR

Perfectly emulates the prized MXR studio flanger's colorful, almost lo-fi-sounding "bucket-brigade" circuit - offering subtle thickening to whacked-out sci-fi effects.

Trem 65

Captures the balanced, warm tones of classic Fender blackface opto tube tremolo (called "Vibrato" on the amp).

Bonus X90 Phaser & Dharma Trem 61 effects

Based on the classic MXR "script" and "block" Phase 90 effects, plus a unique "Dharma" Dynamic Harmonic Tremolo tone - available free at pedal registration.

This pedal covers a lot of ground, built like a tank, great packaging...but most of all, just top shelf effects all built in one unit. Chorus, Flanger/Doubler, Tremolo all doing exactly what you expect but less noise than the old units. Very impressed with achieving my goal of the old blue face MXR!
