Uni-Vibe Pedals

Colortone RoundHouse Multi-Mode Tremolo

From our North American vintage point, Australia almost feels like a separate world as far as pedal releases are concerned - and we are sure that pedal builders based in Oceania wish they were just a little closer to us. Luckily, Melbourne-based YouTuber Brett Kingman keeps us up to date…Click on the title for more

KingTone Vibe 1968

The KingTone Vibe 1968 is a constantly sold-out, fully analog, dual-channel take on the 1968 Honey Vibe by a Californian company that's building a solid reputation for uncompromisingly sound pedal engineering. The concept is very simple but extremely well executed: you have two Uni-Vibe channels on the left and on…Click on the title for more

MXR Uni-Vibe

The MXR Uni-Vibe is a bread-and-butter but great-sounding 3-knob stompbox with chorus/vibrato switch in a compact case. It delivers the classic pitch-modulated sound of a vintage Uni-Vibe unit with or without the dry signal mixed in (in the latter case producing a chorus effect. Controls allow setting the modulation Speed…Click on the title for more

Tru-Fi Ghost Vibe

The Tru-Fi Ghost Vibe is a recreation of the classic vintage Uni-Vibe effect by a boutique US pedal builder headed by a self-described "Hendrix tone nut" whose mission is to deliver "toneful and well-built guitar pedals that sound and look like they are 50 years old." Needless to say, the…Click on the title for more

Fjord FREI Uni-Vibe

Boutique Norwegian builder Fjord Fuzz has released its first modulation pedal, the FREI Uni-Vibe.

New Pedal: OPFXS Electric Vibe Phaser/Vibrato

Hailing from La Spezia, Italy, the OPFXS Electric Vibe is a peculiar (and neat-looking) take on the Uni-Vibe and the phaser, at once. It features a design similar to the classic Uni-Vibe, an optical circuit that modulates the signal by going through four phase shifting stages, but it can apply…Click on the title for more

New Pedal: NUX Voodoo Vibe Stereo Mini Uni-Vibe/Chorus

Although there are plenty of mini Uni-Vibe pedals with three knobs, the NUX Voodoo Vibe is a new DSP-based stereo redesign of the Dunlop Uni-Vibe featuring both Vibe and Chorus modes (just like in the original) and a smart footswitch that does both on/off duties and Tap Tempo. Although…Click on the title for more

J. Rockett Uni-Verb

Modulation + Reverb combo pedals have been a thing for a while now, but in most, if not all cases these are effects targeting the ambient/psychedelic guitarist, featuring long reverbs and a variety of swirly modulation options. The J. Rockett Uni-Verb - as we have come to expect by the…Click on the title for more

Jam RetroVibe Mk3

The Jam Retrovibe Mk3 is a two-knob Uni-Vibe recreation featuring original NOS 2SC828 transistors and carbon comp resistors. Like the vintage unit, it offers both Vibrato and Chorus modes and lets you dial in anything from slow-rate wavy sounds all the way to fast Leslie-speaker effect, which can be controlled…Click on the title for more

R Weaver FX Violet Vibe

There isn't much info out there about the R Weaver FX Violet Vibe (the builder doesn't seem to have a website nor a social media page). Still, this baby sounds great on Mike Herman's video and goes for over $250 used on Reverb.com, so that's a testament to the unit's…Click on the title for more

After dropping pictures and videos of it in advance, British pedal builder Horrothia is finally shipping their Uni-Vibe clone, the Berkeley. This is a classic, 3-knob take on the beloved effect found in many immortal records from the '60s, with a signal path almost identical to the original; Carbon film…Click on the title for more
