As a lot as I really like analogue gear, the guts of my at-desk rig is definitely a UAFX pedal – the Anti. It’s the road’s emulation of a Peavey 5150, and comes with a built-in gate and increase – due to this fact is ideal for all-in-one heavy tones, and proper now it’s $50 off at Sweetwater. Try the deal:

The Anti is characteristically brilliant-sounding, as UA is a dab-hand at digitally emulating tube amps and actual cabs. The 5150, after all, is the spine of so many basic heavy tones – and so the Anti has been parked beneath my desk for the higher a part of a 12 months now, as I’m desperately making an attempt to be taught extra Gojira gallops in order that I’m not simply trapped taking part in the identical 4 Black Sabbath riffs time and again.

Like the entire different UAFX pedals, the Anti has simply gotten a serious improve, too, because of UAFX 2.0. This implies 4 consumer presets at your toes, MIDI management, direct USB connection to your smartphone and an entire lot extra. $350 for all of that ain’t dangerous!
