Universal Audio UAFX Brigade Chorus and Vibrato Pedal

The Universal Audio UAFX Brigade is an analogue modulation effects pedal designed to deliver the warm, iconic chorus and vibrato tones associated with classic 'bucket-brigade' circuits from the 1970s. It captures the lush, swirling modulation that defined the sound of numerous iconic bands, providing guitarists with a versatile tool for adding texture and movement to their signal. The pedal functions as both a chorus and a vibrato unit, with controls allowing you to blend between these effects or use them independently. Key features include an authentic analogue signal path that replicates the warmth and character of vintage modulation units. The pedal offers a true/buffered bypass switch, which preserves your guitar's natural tone when the effect is disengaged while providing a clean, consistent signal when activated. A dedicated preamp boost circuit adds sustain and punch to your overall sound, making it useful as a standalone tone enhancer. The unit includes a USB Type-C port for firmware updates, ensuring it can evolve with future software enhancements from Universal Audio. The Brigade is well-suited for guitarists seeking classic modulation sounds ranging from subtle chorus thickening to pronounced vibrato warble. Its compact stompbox format makes it practical for both studio use and live performance, easily integrating into existing pedalboards. The intuitive control layout allows for quick adjustments to speed, depth, and effect blend, making it accessible for players of all levels. Its robust construction ensures reliability during regular use, while the analogue circuitry provides the organic, responsive feel that digital emulations often lack.
