UAFX 2.0 Firmware Update
Launching November 11, 2025, the UAFX 2.0 firmware update delivers a major performance upgrade to Universal Audio’s two-button pedals, unlocking deep MIDI integration, enhanced footswitch control, and streamlined app connectivity. Players can now select from four new footswitch modes—Live/Preset AB, A/Bypass + B/Bypass (Tour Mode), A/B–C/D, and Boost + Live/Preset—ideal for live “channel-switching” workflows. The update introduces 128 recallable presets via MIDI Program Change, real-time parameter control through MIDI CC messages, and MIDI beat clock sync for time-based effects including the Starlight Echo Station, Astra Modulation Machine, Galaxy ’74 Tape Echo & Reverb, and Del-Verb Ambience Companion. Bluetooth connectivity has been rebuilt from the ground up for increased reliability, while a new wired USB connection enables direct app control from iOS or Android devices. USB MIDI support further enhances expression, preset switching, and clock sync capabilities, making it easier than ever to integrate UAFX pedals into modern performance rigs. All updates are free and compatible exclusively with dual-footswitch UAFX models.
The Universal Audio Starlight delay effects pedal offers an unparalleled palette of delay effects in a powerful yet intuitive pedal. Boasting three iconic delay types—Tape EP-III, Analog DMM and Precision delay—emulations of classic tape echo, bucket-brigade and digital delay, the Starlight delivers luscious, spacious echoes and vivid soundscapes. With dual Stereo and Mono operation, your delays will envelope you in glorious analog warmth. True-bypass switching ensures your tone remains pure when the effect is off. Save your favorite settings in the three Preset Modes for instant recall.
