Clocking in at a compact and pedalboard-friendly size, the Universal Audio Heavenly Plate Reverb sports a studio-grade trio of celestial-sounding plate reverbs inspired by UA’s Golden Reverberator pedal. Vintage Bright, Vintage Dark, and Modern Full: Heavenly’s three plate reverb voices offer a distinct flavor of 1950s-style studio plate reverb, with ultra-authentic tails and extraordinary sonic depth. And while this pedal is packed full of studio-quality reverb sounds, the Heavenly is built for straightforward operation — reverb-standard Decay/Mix/EQ controls allow for instant sonic sculpting, while the Predelay knob and Modulation section give you the means to tweak your tone from a touch of echo to lush and ethereal soundscapes. Finally, the Heavenly also boasts two top-mounted switches, including a Bypass mode to swap between trails mode and true bypass. In contrast, the Mod Rate switch gives you enhanced control over the Heavenly’s modulation section.
Endless sonic possibilities
Heavenly delivers a sweeping range of ways to shape your reverb tone, and it all starts with a trio of 1950s-inspired studio plate reverbs inspired by UA’s Golden Reverberator pedal. Vintage Bright and Vintage Dark grant you two decidedly old-school takes on studio plate reverb, supplying a shimmering wash of cavernous ’verb. In comparison, Sweetwater guitarists find that Modern Full provides a slightly more transparent sonic signature, but its sound still dwells well within the classic 1950s plate reverb realm.
