Tone Tailors: Your Source for Universal Audio Guitar Gear

At Tone Tailors Guitar Shop, we believe your tone is your signature. It’s what sets you apart. We are obsessed with helping you discover your unique guitar sound, which is why we proudly partner exclusively with industry leader Universal Audio to offer you the very best in guitar effects, amp modeling, recording equipment, and more.

For over 60 years, UA has pioneered game-changing pro audio tools for recording studios worldwide. Now, they’ve turned their focus to the discerning guitarist. Let’s explore why Tone Tailors chose to partner with UA, and see if their premium guitar products are the missing link in your rig.

UAFX Pedals

UA accurately replicates legendary gear unattainable for most guitarists. Using a proprietary DSP platform called UAFX, their premium guitar pedals feature exclusive analog modeling technologies that capture every subtle nuance.

Gone are sterile, harsh digital effects. Instead, UAFX algorithms factor in clipping diodes, fuzz transistors, tube circuitry, and other components that shape your tone. This brings back all the warmth and vibe of vintage units costing 10X more.

With robust aluminum housing, premium switches and connections, UAFX pedals are built for touring. No more zip-tying junkers to your board!

Stars like John Mayer, Zakk Wylde, Pete Thorn, and David Crosby utilize UA. It’s easy to dial in rich, responsive effects right for your style using the intuitive UAFX interface. Our staff is well-versed in every pedal’s capabilities and can suggest the perfect match for your needs.

We currently stock the full flagship UAFX line:

• UAFX Ruby ’63 Reverb
• UAFX Astra Modulation Machine
• UAFX Golden Reverberator
• UAFX Starlight Echo Station
• UAFX Dream ‘65 Reverb

UA Audio Interfaces

To capture inspired guitar ideas or record final tracks, you need responsive conversion and stellar preamps. Apollo and Volt interfaces from UA provide studio-grade sound quality so you can track in confidence.

We especially recommend Apollo Twin recording interfaces for guitarists wanting world-class tone in a portable 2×4 unit. Discover enhanced detail in your playing. Add richness and air around each note. The pure analog path preserves the integrity of your signal so nothing gets lost in translation.

A key difference is UA’s SHARC processors enable Realtime UAD plug-in processing as you track, free of latency. This means you can monitor through Neve preamp models, classic EQs, compressors and more to inspire your best performances.

We have Apollo Twin models in stock to experience this game-changing workflow. Hear your tone processed through classic gear exactly like your favorite records. It will change how you write, practice and compose.

When portability is key, Volt interfaces provide top-notch sound in bus-powered designs. Volt features next-gen mic pres, hi-Z instrument input, headphone amp and more so you can record anywhere inspiration strikes. We have Volt models available to demo.

It takes premium AD/DA conversion and preamps to fully capture the subtle articulate tones of a fine guitar. UA is the industry leader, trusted by top studios worldwide. Visit Tone Tailors to hear the difference UA makes.

We genuinely hope this overview gets you excited to experience Universal Audio’s award winning tools hands-on at our shop. UA unlocks creative potential for all guitarists, from writing to recording to live sound. We’re confident UA has the missing piece to take YOUR tone and inspiration further.
