Universal Audio UAFX OX Stomp Dynamic Speaker

The Universal Audio OX Stomp Dynamic Speaker relies on dynamic speaker simulations rather than static impulse responses, offering 22 speaker types ranging from 1x10" to 4x12" along with six microphone options for each configuration. Speaker distortion, room ambience, tone shaping, and dynamic processing can all be added to fine-tune the sound and create a more realistic playing experience. Six preconfigured rigs are accessible directly from the pedal, with quick control over dual mic levels, microphone selection, speaker saturation, room sound, and overall output level. Two footswitches allow easy switching between presets, while the UAFX Control app unlocks deeper parameter access and comprehensive rig management.

Few manufacturers can draw upon a wealth of audio engineering experience comparable to that of Universal Audio. The company's founding father Bill Putnam, along with his friend Les Paul, have an admirable reputation as trend-setting music producers and developers of legendary analogue studio technology. Putnam recorded Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, and Sarah Vaughan, and was Duke Ellington's favourite sound engineer. He developed the famous 1176 Peak Limiter and distributed the Teletronix LA-2A level amplifier. This earned him a posthumous "Technical Grammy Award" in 2000. In 1999, Putnam's sons, Bill Putnam Jr. and James Putnam, re-founded Universal Audio, transferring their father's analogue vision and craftsmanship to the digital music world. Their product range includes audio interfaces, dedicated DSP farms, and a variety of plug-ins, as well as analogue hardware devices.
