Vintage 1982 Ibanez UE405 Effect Processor

Step into the warm, expressive world of 1980s Japanese analog engineering with the Ibanez UE405, a legendary multi-effects rack unit prized by guitarists, studio engineers, and tone collectors alike. Built during the golden era of Ibanez electronics, the UE405 combines four fully analog effects—each based on some of the brand’s most iconic stompboxes—into a single, elegantly designed 1U rack system. At the heart of the UE405 are its beautifully voiced, bucket-brigade-driven circuits that deliver the unmistakable depth and richness only true analog gear can produce. The lineup includes: Analog Compressor – Smooth, musical, and highly responsive, perfect for adding sustain and evening out dynamics without sacrificing character. Chorus – Lush, dimensional, and shimmering, this chorus is derived from the classic Ibanez CS-series design that defined countless studio recordings. Parametric EQ – Exceptionally flexible tone shaping that adds clarity, punch, or warmth with surgical precision. Overdrive – Warm, amp-like drive with sweet harmonics and a dynamic feel, ideal for everything from bluesy crunch to pushed rock tones. Each effect can be switched independently, allowing players to craft tailored signal chains without sacrificing simplicity. The UE405 also features rugged metal construction, intuitive front-panel controls, and the unmistakable vintage Ibanez aesthetic—making it as reliable as it is inspiring. Whether you're building a retro rig, recording analog-rich guitar tracks, or adding a rare collectible to your studio, the Ibanez UE405 delivers unmistakable 80s tone with modern-day usability. It’s a true piece of guitar history.
