Add Three Desert Island Reverbs to your Pedalboard
From the tube-driven springs of an American mid-'60s combo to the haunting sound of a German plate reverb and the lushness of an '80s digital studio classic, Del-Verb gives you the same reverb algorithms found in Golden Reverberator, the TEC Award winner for Best Effects Pedal in 2022.*

Get Lost in Legendary Delay Textures
Whether it's the warm repeats of a '70s Maestro EP-III tape echo, the thick color of an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man, or UA's modern-sounding Precision Delay, Del-Verb's suitcase is packed with the definitive effects found in UA's mothership — Starlight Echo Station — for easy access to killer sounds in a flash.*

Dual Stereo Effect Engines for a Trip to Remember
Del-Verb Ambience Companion's powerful engine runs separate stereo instances of each reverb and delay — letting you creatively combine effects with stunning three-dimensional stereo depth that is unmatched by any other stompbox.
