And it’s not just a matter of EQ I think, it’s the voicing, the musicality, the vibe. At least hearing it from here. Did you guys feel this way in the room?

[@johnhowardnardine6815]

Perhaps that brightness the Starlight has is why UA put an 'always-on' preamp switch on the back of the Orion?

[@KickyRent]

Excited to watch this one! I actually moved the Starlight on after comparing it to the MXR Echoplex and the ARDX20 I already had on my board! I used some of the funds to get the Amaze1 for the ARDX20 and have not regretted it at all. I think Mick's oft-repeated add-age about the simpler the pedal, the more creative it allows you to be, holds true here. Not that the Starlight is complicated, really! It's just complicated *enough* to get me out of playing, and messing with knobs and different modulation settings and blah blah blah. I did add the Chase Tone Secret Pre to the end of my board when I swapped the Belle Epoch Deluxe out for the MXR, so I'm getting the EP preamp with another pedal. That should be noted! The MXR really is a fantastic tape delay pedal, though, and I think so much of that has to do with ease of use! It just is pretty much impossible to make it sound bad with the controls made available to the user. I have left it on the same setting for over a year, lol!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Nice one Ricky. Mick here. ARDX20 man. It’s just spectacularly good!

[@KickyRent]

@@ThatPedalShow It's just so good, it's dumb. I resisted buying it for a few years because of having to wait, and having the DM-2w that I also love, but it is just so damn good it is entirely in it's own league. The slap on it!!!!!! Holy shit!!!!!

[@ebeep]

I've owned a pile of EHX DMMs, still own two, been through so very many delays, and the Walrus ARP-87 wins the delay/echo spot on my board. It doesn't mess with the dry signal, no input impedance weirdness, tone control for repeats, tap tempo for anyone who cares (not me), and most importantly, magical musical washy 3D tape-like repeats. There are things I'd love to change about it: it doesn't have 100% wet as an option as well as no self-oscillation, and for a digital delay it should have no noise whatsoever but adds audible pink noise wether bypassed or not. That said, I still can't beat it, and boy have I tried.

[@miguelteixeira1979]

EPIC! After the Lego tape delay show you guys made, it has become clear that what makes a delay musical for me is the compander. The "almost reverb" like drag that the analog man has is exactly that. And that is what most digital emulations miss to do well. My love for the memory man continues to grow. Please, please please compare that specific analog man with more recent ones and even the memory boy and good digital solutions that are available.

It seems to me the Starlight isn't quite there yet, though the stereo image is excellent. It Would be nice, for example, to be able to put mod effects into the feedback loop. Maybe that option will come at a later date via the app and if you own the modulation pedal. Lack of Midi and presets is definitely an issue for me on delay pedals though.

[@Ram44]

I have no use for MIDI so the Starlight is right up my alley.

[@johncruz9357]

The issue here is no EP3 sound the same. I’ve heard other comparisons where the Starlight sounds spot on. The other issue is everyone wants a darker delay when there playing by themselves. In a band or lively room, that dark delay is going to get lost…

[@simonmastromatteo5692]

I see the Starlight more as a pedal that you would use in a studio environment, where the template is so neutral and crystal clear, it allows you to shape it the way you would want post production, In terms of EQ and in terms of gain structure.

I appreciate all that both of you say and play when it comes to delays. Mick: I just got a DD500 - and I will probably use less than 10% and it will be a new way to do what I have always done with delays, but I also know a may eventually midi up to the DAW and use it for other things there. But anyway, great show. Fun stuff and always a highlight of the week for me. Uncle Larry on Tone Talk tonight, btw. I'm sure that it'll be a hot mess of awesome.

Dan/Mick, did you ever come back to the Starlight after the preamp became available? Wondering if the preamp setting improved the warmth of the sound.

[@jonathanyork3636]

Awesome show guys- this is one I've been hoping for ever since I saw the Golden on your board a few weeks back. You guys do a great job of not just saying "it's great" but fairly putting the pedal up against real tape and esp. the DMM. I own a DMM, and have been gigging it for over a decade. I also have a lot of digital delay modeling pedals- including the Strymon and a few TCs and Catalinbreads. Some of these are great, and offer cool controls (volante) but non yet capture the feel of an actual analog device (I'd say Catalinbreads are closest as they do have preamps) - which you guys are very honest about- you gotta have those preamps. It will be very interesting to see what UAD does with preamp models and if that factor pushes these to that extra bit of magic. Now- what I'm really interested in is the UAD golden. I've decided to buy a "new" "modern" reverb pedal, and there are now a slew of choices offering "hi fidelity" modern verb - I've narrowed this down to the Golden, the Meris Mercury 7, or the Walrus R1. One thing I don't fully understand is if these newer "hi fi" verbs are actually higher fidelity than say slightly older pedals- like is the R1 actually higher bit depth/ sample rate than their older pedals like the fathom- or is this just marketing? LOVE to see you guys do a modern, hi fi reverb shootout. Thanks!

[@zaqintosh]

Great show folks, I’ve been waiting for this one! I got the Startlight on launch because I’m obsessed with getting a “simple” tape delay simulator pedal with tap tempo.

Mick is right... I use the timeline for its tape & analog settings... the rest of the pedal is under-used. I purchased the Starlight. It sounds 1,000% better than the timeline modes for tape and DMM, especially within my stereo rig. I have my Starlight preset to toggle on the DMM when needed. Its a great pedal. I am selling the timeline to offset the cost of the Starlight. A bit frustrated with UA for not delivering the interface APP & the pedal at the same time.

Great video guys! Appreciated all of the comparisons. Throughout the course of the video my mind kept changing about what I liked best/ what would work best for me. The real tape sounded amazing but how often would I use that sound? The memory man had a magical quality about it. Yet the starlight seemed to cover both bases with extra clarity which might ultimately make it more useable. I agree with Mick though, to be able to darken the tone of the repeats would probably make it indispensable.

[@steveclay6620]

The Xotic EP Booster is a very good "EP-3" preamp, and it has internal switches to setup EQ and add warmth. It might be worth trying the EP Booster in front of the Starlight, to see if it could warm it up a bit?

[@ThatPedalShow]

Certainly worth a try. Mick here.

[@justinmarrington8039]

That’s what they were doing with the APE, exactly. It’s an EP-3 pre-amp circuit, with some extra features, but they were just running it in front. Unlike the Xotic EP it’s running at 22V internally, too. I think there’s more required for warming up the delays in the UA than just putting the ‘right’ preamp in front, at least by what I was hearing in these comparisons.
