In my previous review of UAFX stomp boxes, I mentioned how Universal Audio was bringing the sounds of classic studio gear to the stage. 

The company's new OX Stomp pedal also brings studio-quality sound to the stage, but this time around, UA has adapted modern software processing instead of classic hardware, harnessing the power of the company's outstanding Dynamic Speaker Modeling technology in a stomp box format. OX Stomp also provides effects like 1176 compression, reverb, delay, modulation and more to provide complete, studio-polished sounds.
