Universal Audio ANTI 1992 is a 120 watt high gain tube head emulation in a stompbox, delivering the scooped tones behind decades of thrash, metal and punk through an end-to-end model. It carries a classic boost and a built-in noise gate to keep the signal clear at high gain, with cabinet and microphone emulations derived from the OX Amp Top Box.
Scooped, tight and gated, which is what high gain actually needs.
UAFX pedals come out of the same modeling work as UA's plug-ins. The company measures specific units rather than product categories, which is why its descriptions name a particular amplifier or a particular tape machine rather than a style. The dual-engine processing in these pedals is what allows that detail to run in a stompbox rather than on a computer.
The cabinet, microphone and room emulations come from the OX Amp Top Box, UA's reactive load box. That matters because those emulations were built for a product whose entire job was replacing a miked cabinet, not added to a pedal afterward.
The UAFX Control app handles what the four knobs cannot. Footswitch behavior, preset recall and archiving, additional downloadable speaker cabinets and microphones, and artist presets all live there. Current pedals support MIDI over USB along with Bluetooth and hardwired connections.

Which Amplifier Is ANTI 1992 Based On?
One of the most popular 120 watt tube heads ever made, modeled end to end. Universal Audio describes the result as the rich scooped tones that have fueled thrash, metal and punk bands for decades.
Why Does It Have a Built-In Noise Gate?
Because high gain amplifies everything, including the noise floor, hum from single coils and the sound of a hand leaving the strings. At these gain levels a gate is not optional, and building it in means one less pedal and one less connection in the chain.
Can I Use It in Front of a Real Amp?
Yes. The cabinet and microphone emulations bypass, which leaves the amplifier emulation running into a real amp as a preamp and overdrive stage. That is a common way to use these pedals when there is already a good amp in the room.
What Does the UAFX Control App Add?
Footswitch customization, preset recall and archiving, free additional downloadable speaker cabinets and microphones on registration, and artist presets. The pedal supports MIDI over USB along with Bluetooth and hardwired connections, and the app enables footswitch modes carrying four onboard amp presets.

Why Universal Audio?
Universal Audio was founded in 1958 by M.T. "Bill" Putnam, the engineer who built the first recording console with integrated equalization and effects sends, and who designed the 1176 and the 610. The company was revived in 1999 by his sons and now does two things: it still hand-builds analog hardware in California, and it licenses and models the classics from Neve, API, Manley, SSL, Lexicon, Studer, Ampex and others rather than emulating them without authorization.
