Man it's never been a better time to be a guitar player. When I first started playing 25 years ago there wasn't much at all to choose from. I had a Marshall Shredmaster into the front of my Trace Elliot and that was pretty much it. New players are really lucky to have such amazing gear available to them at this point.

The more I hear the Golden, the more I think the strength of it is not the interface, but the algorithms, which are really some of the best sounding reverbs I’ve ever heard in a pedal. The choices of spring, plate, and hall, and the variants of each are really well-considered, and even though the Golden doesn’t offer the control and flexibility of something like the Boss RV-500, I think the Golden may well be worth the premium price, just because of the sheer quality of the sound, especially considering the footprint, compared to the RV-500 or the Strymon BigSky. For that price, however, I really wish they’d used metal jacks.

Whoever does the design work at ua is a genius. It would be cool if they made a special pedal that let you upload their plugins into it, and converts it to analog with their converters. I also want them to make a new thunderbolt iPad dock for the new iPad Pro. If they had a dock that was like the avid dock, but with a built in x4 or x8, with faders and knobs, it would be the perfect mobile recording rig. All in one console with a 120hz xdr touch display, faders, knobs, unison preamps, a bunch of inputs and outputs. The iPad Pro is just as powerful as a MacBook Pro or an iMac now so it’s literally having an entire in the box setup in one little dock. Plus it would probably look beautiful like everything else they make.

Digital effects are often to "hi-fi". Real world reverb or echoes, etc... don't return an exact duplicate of the original sound. Some frequencies are reinforced more than others, there's phase delays introduced, etc... To me that's why analog effects work better. The colorations actually make them sound more "right". These pedals, from what I can hear on the vid, seem to capture that "real" effect.

Love the sound of the golden i just get. Really keep the guitar signal intact, still a lot of punch, dead quiet compared to my true spring unit, for more flexible, easy to use and understand. My only concern from now is you are not able to see how the knobs were setup on the preset. I mean If you just want the same sound on your preset but with a touch of more mix knob, you can't !! You have to write it somewhere down, or take a picture as a reminder. I really hope UA will give the possibility to show how the preset is setup via the app fo example. Same for more presets in the futuure or usbc controller if that possilbe. Otherwise, amazing reverb !
