    Excellent Sounding Delay with Some Quirks

    Absolutely incredible sounding delay pedal! No need to be constantly fiddling to get good sounds as it just works. I bought it significantly marked down in a sale as it made the value much more compelling. The phone app can be a bit glitchy at times with renaming presets but overall works well. Would love to be able to access the exclusive parameters that are incorporated into the factory presets, input a specific bpm on the app or even have extra delay modes added like a reverse delay. It does accept higher level inputs so I can use it as an outboard delay when mixing which has been fun. While it is by no means perfect, overall, the quality of the sounds and the ease of use makes it worth it for me.

    My absolute favorite delay pedal I’ve ever owned

    I’ve lost count how many delay pedals I’ve owned in the last 40 years but I know the Starlight is by far my absolute favorite I’ve ever owned. It’s simple to use, sounds amazing and has the primary delays I use 99% of the time.

    I wasted so much time dialing in other “more advanced” delays instead of creating or playing. What do they call that, options paralysis? The Starlight is so simple that I actually read the manual just to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

    You can find the rest of my delay pedals for sale on Gear Exchange! Thanks UA… awesome product.

    Not buy if you have put some money in your tone

    I have invested some money in pickups, cables, amp and Pedals, so I can have the tone that I want. Just get starlight and put it in my effects loop, the first thing O notice is that the starlight removes some frecuencies of my tone even if the pedal is off and in true bypass setting

    The BEST delay I've ever used!

    I have owned a lot of delay pedals and modeling units over the years, but this one is by far the best. The pedal itself is solidly build and the sounds are incredible! Each model has been expertly crafted and the attention to detail is truly incredible. I have been an avid fan of the Deluxe Memory Man for years and this is the best emulation of it that I have ever heard: the preamp, the modulation, the warmth it's all there. I agree with one of the other reviewers, adding UA's Kord SDD-3000 plugin to the pedal would be amazing. The Precision delay is cool, but it's the least exciting of the three and having the Korg SDD would give another flavor of preamp with the digital delay and the Korg's unique modulation. Also a reverse delay would be icing on the cake. This is already a tremendous pedal for the price, but those new models would push it over the top. Either way thank you!

    Superb Delays!

    UA delays are top notch. Can nail Electro-Hamonix, too. Read my Golden reverb for these pedals details. Bottom line: great set-and-forget. Only 1 preset favorite. Other settings must be memorized. Buggy setup for updates using one software and control app being different and over bluetooth. Connections sometimes wonky. I do not like the blinking delay led. Give you epilepsy and I can’t really tell if Im using the preset of the pedal is OFF. Too cheap for $300+ to use another switch. Or LCD. Or combine like H9 so you can save on board space and looking for a ton of 500 mA connections! They give you no cords. Their instructions are worse than those on Sweetwaters page who finally got me figuring out registration, update, etc. But if you can deal with frustration for a superior delay sound, this is your baby. It works for me. Thank goodness I don’t need many presets for live gigging. They need to create a multi-effect floor unit. They’re profiting from insanely expensive single pedals that require too much space & power. And now they are silent on support/updates. Makes me think they will abandon this for something else bc they just dropped the prices by a lot.
