Universal Audio Astra Modulation Machine – Pre-Owned

Explore Classic Chorus, Flanging/Doubling, and Tube Tremolo Effects

Built upon our powerful UAFX dual-engine processing and unmatched levels of quirky analog realism, Astra takes you deep down the rabbit hole of classic analog modulation, giving you the most sonically authentic bucket-brigade chorus/vibrato, studio flanger/doubler, and tube-driven tremolo effects ever placed into a single stompbox.

Create with Iconic Japanese Modulation

Upon its release in 1976, this legendary gray bucket-brigade stompbox changed the sound of music with its thick, luxuriant chorus and wavy vibrato. Astra’s Brigade Chorus mode gives you the most complete circuit emulation of this landmark unit — including its preamp section for authentically thick, saturated sounds — letting you paint with subtle ripples of analog texture and tone, adding chewiness, shimmer, and motion to everything you play.
