And OX Stomp is a vital liberate as it has the possible to take just right amp modelling and make it nice inside a pedalboard. 

The attenuation and cargo field purposes of the OX Field are dropped right here and the road stage best OX Stomp’s focal point is on speaker, mic and room emulation on the finish of your sign chain, with the added scope of studio 1176 compression, plate reverb and extend that may prevent a pedal or two to create space for it too. Theoretically, it additionally boosts the opportunity of your pedalboard as a recording rig with more than one emulated mic, speaker and room setups.

The UAFX Regulate app takes essential function right here in dialling within the sort and deeper parameters for some of these emulations, with Room, Speaker and two Mic ranges then to be had along 5 selectable Rig preset slots at the unit itself. We will dig into how this all works in our evaluation coming quickly.

Out of the field you can have get admission to to 22 speaker cabs, six antique mics with UA’s confirmed rep for shocking plate reverb, along stereo extend (twin, crossover and ping-pong) and UA 1176 compression.

“Once we launched the unique OX Amp Best Field, we had been overjoyed to look the call for from guitarists who liked the sonic authenticity of our modeling,” says Tore Mogensen, Senior UA Product Supervisor. “On the identical time, some guitarists did not want the reactive load field characteristic of OX — they only sought after the cupboard, mic and room emulations. OX Stomp hits that nail at the head and permits them to take their tone to the following stage.”

However for all of the possible advantages right here, the OX Stomp drops the ball on one characteristic for me already; there is no headphone output. It is one thing I lamented with the in a different way superb Dream ’65, Ruby ’63 and Woodrow ’55 amp emulator pedals, and would have made this a superb opportunity for house gamers to experience their pedalboards with UA’s end-of-chain processing for quiet apply classes. XLR out for blending desks could also be absent. 

In spite of this, the 14th pedal liberate for the corporate has the possible to be UA’s maximum universally interesting piece of guitar {hardware} but for pedalboards.
