This was my first UA purchase. I really love the spring reverbs on this thing. I can't stop playing it. I've messed around with the Plates and the 224 a bit as well but I end right back on the spring reverbs. Something super musical about them and very cool.
I'm running in a mono w/d setup at the moment but now I'm wanting to create a w/d/w setup. I run my Golden post a few different Kingsley preamps (some quite hot in output) in front of a small tube amp. No issues with that, the Golden takes the level just fine (something I was worried about).
Anybody try any of the other UA pedal offerings? I think I'm going to have to explore more of these after how much fun I'm having with the Golden.

Damnit...that doesn't help me not want it. I got the Starlight...first blush, I didn't completely love it, but the more I've figured it out the more I really like it. I've been looking for a Reverb pedal - mostly for spring - and was hoping I wasn't going to have to pay $400 for it.
Wonder how the Strymon Blue Sky compares?

Can I just say - I’m an idiot. The Starlight is pretty freaking amazing. Sonically, it doesn’t get any better. Compared it to a few others and it’s lights out.

And now you return the favor and have me lusting for the Starlight! lol. Actually the Astra has been calling my name. I'm trying to resist. Seriously trying to resist.
Afer a few weeks with the Golden I'm still quite happy with it. I've branched out some from initially just falling for the Springs to now enjoying the Plates and Hall quite a bit. I'm still only running it in a w/d guitar rig and not as an hw effects return. I moved it off my guitar pedal board and it sits next to my desk so I can mess with the controls more. That way I can screw around with settings a hair more than the pick a spring I like and forget about any tweaking (if I left it on my board). In that respect I do semi wish these had more presets I could fire up with midi and my GiGrig G3.

I actually bought the golden. Pretty killer. The Astra looks great, but I wanted a rotary so I went with the Möbius.

Well I can report that I still like the Golden. Killer for my needs. The more I mess with it the more I like it. I did add the Starlight, and instantly bonded with the DMM. Blown away good. I also added the Astra as I really liked the CE-1 emulation. That alone sold me on the pedal. I've been exploring more of the tremolo's as well. Very pleased with these pedals.

I’ve had this before my Mobius for a while. Just switched the Mobius before the starlight and then the Golden last…and I swear it’s a revelation. Unless it’s all confirmation bias and it’s not.
