Wow, flutter, grit, repeat
Galaxy ‘74’s uniquely warm, atmospheric, and somewhat rough nature is inspired by one of music history’s most beloved tape echo units. This pedal begins with that tone as a foundation, then surpasses it. Along with your typical Rate and Feedback controls, the Galaxy ’74’s delay section controls boast a 3-way Head Select switch and a Tape Age knob to crank up the old-school character. And while the original unit was primarily designed as a delay and reverb unit, the preamp’s unique response has become equally sought-after over the years. Thankfully, Universal Audio equipped the Galaxy ’74 with a nearly indistinguishable sonic clone of that very preamp design to fully capture the vintage vibe of the original.
