Universal Audio stepped into the amp modelling world in May 2022, much to the excitement of guitarists and producers alike. Since this time, 4 hugely successful pedals have been released in this range: the Woodrow 1955 Tweed style preamp, the Lion 68 Super Lead, the Ruby 1963 AC30 style preamp and the Dream 1965, a faithful recreation of the classic Deluxe Reverb. It’s arguable then that there has been a place for UAFX to cater towards the modern metal player, those with a thirst for the beloved High-Gain American amplifiers of the 80’s and 90’s.
August 2024 saw UAFX unleash the ANTI 1992, offering a faithful emulation of the classic block letter 5150 amplifier which was, and continues to be a staple of so many of today’s modern metal luminaries. It seems only right then, that UAFX top engineers pay tribute to metalheads other favourite all-American high gain amplifier. ‘Knuckles 92 Dual Rec Amplifier’ is a stereo amp and cab emulation pedal, packed with six iconic mic/speaker pairings, integrated boosts, live and reset modes and deep hands-on customisation via the UAFX mobile app.
Gone are the days of lugging around your expensive (and often fragile) dual rec amplifier on your way to the studio or your next gig, with Knuckles ’92, UAFX have put the genre-defining sound of one of the world’s most ferocious high-gain amps into a sleek and very classy looking pedal. This is hands down the most authentic emulation of this amplifier ever placed inside a stompbox. Whether you’re a new-comer to the dual rec or a long-time fan, with Knuckles ‘92’s host of hugely practical mic and cabinet pairings, the choice to switch between power tubes and solid-state or tube rectifiers, this is a perfect opportunity to explore one of the most important and iconic high-gain amplifiers of all time.
