Chorus Brigade: Legendäre japanische Modulation
Bei seiner Veröffentlichung im Jahr 1976 veränderte diese legendäre graue Bucket-Brigade Stompbox den Sound der Musik mit ihrem dicken, üppigen Chorus und dem wellenförmigen Vibrato. Der Brigade Chorus Modus von Astra bietet Dir die vollständigste Schaltungsemulation dieses bahnbrechenden Geräts — einschließlich der Preamp-Sektion für authentisch dicke, satte Sounds — und lässt Dich mit subtilen Wellen analoger Texturen und Klängen malen, die allem, was Du spielst, Zähigkeit, Schimmer und Bewegung verleihen.
Flanger/Doubler: Ein Rackmount-Studioklassiker
Dieser klassische Rackmount-Studioflanger/Doubler ist vollgepackt mit Technik der späten 70er Jahre und berühmt für atemberaubende Whoosh-Effekte, organisches Andicken und eine Reihe wilder Sounds, die weit über typische Flanger-Boxen hinausgehen. Der Flanger/Dblr-Effekt von Astra ist die einzige durchgängige Schaltungsemulation dieses ultraseltenen Geräts, die seine ursprünglichen Eigenschaften genauestens einfängt und Dir ein unglaublich dichtes, komplexes Flanging/Doubling direkt zu Füßen legt.
Trem 65: Authentisches Tube Amp "Shake"
Nur wenige Dinge lassen sich mit dem optischen, röhrengetriebenen Tremolo der amerikanischen Verstärker der 60er Jahre vergleichen. Tief, wabernd und die Essenz des Vibe, ist Trem 65 eine originalgetreue Emulation dieser klassischen Schaltung. Von schimmernden Wellen bis hin zu abgehacktem Chaos ist jedes dynamische Detail im UA-Stil eingefangen, bis hin zu den komplexen Interaktionen zwischen dem Lichtquellen-Fotoresistor und der 12AT7-Treiberröhre. Außerdem kannst Du mit variablen Sinus- und Rechteckwellen-Einstellungen Deine eigenen Trem-Texturen kreieren.
Dual Stereo Modulation Engines für endlose Kreativität
Astra's UAFX-Engine betreibt dank des einzigartigen Dual-Engine Processings separate Stereo-Instanzen jedes Modulationseffekts. Es ist, als hätte man zwei Hardware-Einheiten, die gleichzeitig laufen — oder sogar zwei Tremolo-Schaltkreise — und man erhält eine volle Stereobreite an komplexen, atemberaubenden Texturen.
Eine State-of-the-Art Stompbox
Mit modernen, leistungsstarken Funktionen wie Wandlung in Studioqualität, Dual-Processing Engines, zusätzlichen herunterladbaren Effekten bei der Registrierung, Live-/Preset-Modi, True/Buffered Bypass,* und Silent-Switching besitzt Astra Modulation Machine Deine Klangfarben — jetzt geh hinaus und male Dein Meisterwerk.

Incredible Sounding Pedal
The Astra is jam packed with features and sounds that inspire me every day I plug into it.
I would love to have a full on Uni-Vibe option, that would take this pedal over the top.G. Saginario

C. Cochran
Awesome sounds, needs more functionality.
The stereo chorus is worth the price of the pedal, absolute magic. I wish there was a mode with depth and rate controls though. L The flanger is a PITA to use, I really really wish it was an Electric Mistress instead of the MXR. The trem and phase 90 are great as well.
C. Jones
Least interesting of the initial 3 UAFX pedals
I have the Golden Reverberator and Starlight as well. In comparison, this one leave a little to be desired. The chorus is great but simple. Would love an update with a rotary option and maybe a tape doubler like the Strymon Deco. There's so much potential for this to be an incredible pedal since they could in theory add more algorithms.
M. Hakenson
Good pedal but it needs more effects for the price
This is a good sounding pedal but it lacks enough effect variety for the money. You alrady own dytronics tri-chorus & the dimension D. Add them. A Uni-vibe or Leslie would be great. I owned it for a few days but returned it and bought something with more features & effects. Sorry. I’d buy it again because of the sound quality if it only had more choices.
B. Vavra
Good but needs wow factor.
Pedal sounds great and holds true to those vintage sounds. Dharma trem adds something new to the already laden landscape of modulation multieffects pedals.
I think this pedal would be a game changer if it included a more versatile chorus option. The brigade one knob sounds fantastic, but adding something like a tri-stereochorus algorithm would make the pedal something I couldn't ever sell.P. Ghignone
Phenomenal Sounds - all it needs is presets or MIDI or preferably both
The sounds in this pedal really are sublime, I honestly can't make one complaint about them. The chorus is incredible, the 65 trem is spot on, and the fact no one talks about the uni-vibe in the Dharma-Trem is insane to me, it's that good. I also like the fact that the sounds are expandable as well, keeps me excited for the future of this pedal.
Really, the only thing lacking from this pedal is the lack of Presets (1 only) and MIDI functionality. Some people complain about the knobs having different functions for different effects, but this honestly would not be an issue if more presets were available, you could just dial in all your favourite tones and save them, and barely need to use the knobs again.
The issue is that for a pedal at this price point, being limited to just 1 preset is simply not up to the standards set by its competitors. MIDI functionality would also be standard. It can be marketed as a studio tool first, but it's a pedal, not a rack unit, and it needs to be treated as such. I truly hope they add these features in the future, and they wouldn't be the first company to do it either.D. Morisset
I want more modes and presets.
I spent the night playing the Astra with headphones, using the Walrus Audio ACS1 Amp and Cab Pedal.
The Tones are superb.
What I would like, is a Univibe and Rotary Modulations, in stereo. Since the Phaser X90 and Dharma Trem 61 are available online, I guess the template for more Modulation Downloads already exists.
Secondly, I would love to be able to store more presets, at least 1 preset per Modulation, in addition to storing the last dialed in parameters for each Mode.
EXH does this with the Oceans 12 and having these features would make the pedal more Pedalboard friendly.
I don't record in any studio, but I do jam sessions and play guitar at church, so the less noodling with the board the better.
That being said, this is the First Flanger Setting that I have tried that I like. Very, Very nice without the harsh swirling tones I associate with Flangers.
The Chorus setting is simply sublime.E. Bass
Great on guitars - also on synths
Really impressed with this so far, the thing sounds fantastic.

The Best Modulation
I have owned a lot high end modulation pedals and this one tops them all.

Mod to the Max
Being in possession of some vintage classics, purchased Astra mainly to enable to have the mod sounds in one unit. Astra went beyond expectations. Upon first placement on my pedalboard, I have to say the depth and character of each sound is stellar. The build is superb but the effects are the real star here. The research that went into this must have been phenomenal. UA has captured the mojo of the best and this unit outshines my "standard" and now weary classic pedals. Thank you UA

Extremely tasteful
The Good: Sounds here are extremely tasteful, stereo is outrageously lush. This pedal will knock plenty, if not all, of your modulations off your board effortlessly. Every setting is spectacular, usable and inspirational. A painful kind of love can be felt that went into this.
The Sad: Nothing gets wild or remotely experimental, a missed opportunity to add innovative new parameters with the wealth of extra knobs at hand. Toggle switches can be awkward to access. Price, well what did you expect?
