Good to know
- UAFX pedals need an isolated 9 V DC, centre-negative supply with a 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug; Universal Audio lists 400 mA for its full-size two-footswitch UAFX pedals. A power supply is not listed as included.
- The cabinet/mic emulation can be switched off when you play into a real amp.
- Firmware updates and registration use the UA Connect app on a computer over a USB-C cable.
FAQ
Does it come with a power supply?
Universal Audio does not list a power supply as included. Use an isolated 9 V DC, centre-negative supply with enough current for this pedal.
Can I use it with my guitar amp?
Yes. Universal Audio says you can bypass the cabinet/mic emulations and use it in front of your amp for added tonal flavour and overdrive.
Can I change presets over MIDI?
Yes. The rear-panel USB-to-MIDI connection receives preset changes and realtime control of boosts, EQ and more (a compatible USB MIDI host or controller is needed).
