YAMAHA UD STOMP EFFECTS PROCESSOR IS GUITARIST'S "DREAM
BOX"
—Provides the Ultimate in Modulation and
Delay—
ANAHEIM, CA—In the tradition of technology that includes
the acclaimed DG Stomp and AG Stomp, Yamaha Guitars will debut
the latest addition to its line of compact, innovative "stomp
box" products—the UD Stomp guitar effects processor—at
Winter NAMM 2002. Designed for analog and digital environments,
the UD Stomp provides the ultimate in modulation and delay for
studio or gigging musicians without the inconvenience of carrying
multiple processor units or racks. The Yamaha UD Stomp will
be available in February.
The unit features a total of 180 sound programs (90 Preset/90
User) and eight bands of individual delay, with up to 700 milliseconds
of delay available when set in Series, and up to 5.5 seconds
in Parallel. Delay parameters include Time, Loop Filter (Hi/Lo
Cut), Feedback, Tap, Pan, and Level. Patches were programmed
by prominent producers and guitarists, including fusion virtuoso
Allan Holdsworth, who calls the UD Stomp his "dream box."
"The UD Stomp, like other Yamaha stomp box products,
is a logical extension of 'all in one box' technology,
and that should be appealing to both guitar players and dealers,"
states David Bergstrom, director of marketing, Yamaha Corporation
of America, Combo Group.
The UD Stomp allows real-time control for parameters, with
four built-in footswitches and control knobs which change patches
in Group/Bank/Number format and also control Effect On/Off and
MIDI programs, making it the perfect addition to any live performance
rig. In the studio, the MIDI IN/OUT transforms the UD Stomp
into a powerful MIDI pedal board. Other features include: an
expression pedal input for additional effects control; balanced
1/4-in. stereo outputs (XLR to 1/4-in. adapters included) for
hotter signal/noise ratio; a headphone output for practice—or
additional stereo output; and a digital output for clean, direct
recording from the digital circuitry (44.1 kHz output in Coaxial
format) to a digital recorder without signal degradation.
"Another 'first' for the Yamaha stomp box family,"
states Gary Cook, product manager, Guitar Products. "The
UD Stomp is like having eight of the world's greatest rackmount
delays in one rugged package."
Constructed with a sturdy metal stomp box design, the UD Stomp
features an angled top, which keep the user's foot from
getting in the way of knobs and controls.
