What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Universal Audio Del-Verb Ambience Companion for its exceptional sound quality, delivering studio grade vintage delay and reverb effects. The lush Plate reverb and warm Tape delay algorithms are consistently highlighted as translating the renowned UAD plugin experience into a rugged stompbox. Users find the three effect layout intuitive for quickly dialing in classic tones. While the sonic performance is universally lauded, some express minor frustration with the mono input limitation. Additionally, deeper parameter adjustments necessitate using the companion mobile app, adding a layer of complexity. Despite these minor operational points, the consensus confirms the Del-Verb is a premium unit that justifies its cost through authentic, professional grade ambience.
Know before you buy

The app allows you to access deeper customization options, such as setting tap tempo, adjusting custom voicings, and managing your presets beyond what is available on the pedal's physical knobs.
The Del-Verb utilizes analog dry through, meaning your original guitar signal remains untouched and purely analog as it passes through the pedal, ensuring no loss of tone or clarity.
Yes, the pedal supports both stereo and dual mono operation. You can easily connect it to a single amplifier or a full stereo rig depending on your specific needs.
