Is this the future of Uni-Vibes?

[@Haciendamann]

Thank you so much for adding a volume; it's just a quastion of time I will have one of those! :o)

[@FjordFuzz]

Yeah I’ve realized I don’t really have the testing equipment to ensure I can release stuff sans volume control and have it work the same on every possible rig out there, so going forward I’ll have volume controls on everything haha

[@Haciendamann]

@@FjordFuzz You chose wisely! ;o)

[@brandongullion6353]

I didn't even care about uni-vibe before I found your pedals and now I own a Frei, a Njord and am about to buy both this and the other super secret pedal 😂 Thanks for showing me the sheer joy of uni-vibe sounds.

[@FjordFuzz]

Haha thanks so much, that's super nice! I love the vibe, especially as a kind of ever-evolving EQ/boost pedal, if you get what I mean... One thing is the throb and the swirl, but the way it sort of just takes a fuzz and churns it and squeezes it and flips it around and around and around is the thing I love the absolute most about it!

[@Talisk3r]

Same here... And of course you end up with more traditional univibe the complete. Fjord fuzz is responsible for a big part of my gear budget lately. And I have to check that Njord too.

[@brandongullion6353]

​@@Talisk3r Dude it is so funny looking at my pedal collection. I've got a pedal or two from lots of different brands, some brands I've got 4 or 5 of. Then Fjord Fuzz I have like 10 😂. The Njord was a limited run from a while back that isn't in production anymore, but I was fortunate to find one used after several months of searching!

[@FjordFuzz]

@@Talisk3r this one has built-in Njord-functionality!

[@Talisk3r]

@@FjordFuzz Thank you for pointing that out! Oh and now I have to try fast rotary into slow vibe. I do the opposite. Don't ask me why. Probably because I imagine my rotary as a leslie/amp. Your sound is killer as always.

[@shanerose5348]

Man what a great sound, great playing.

[@onehellofameme6166]

I had no clue it wasnt optical. It sounded just as thick. Fooled me. I actually love how much this pedals calms down without sounding thinner or quieter. Ruben from umo would love this.

[@FjordFuzz]

Thanks so much! Yeah I should probably get him one!

[@DalelCampbell]

Can't believe the Iridium I'd your amp. Your dry tone was amazing, and your uni-vibe pedal is amazing.

[@RishPanjeetJr]

Really makes me think about using an Iridium for direct-to-interface sounds

[@muyeikasamurabi1602]

That's a nice thick univibe. You really played into it well

[@muyeikasamurabi1602]

[@patrickmcmanus5373]

Great video. I am currently building several pedals. Reverb Fuzz Double Reverb (Spring, Analogue HiFi Reverb) So good to hear how it sounds.❤

[@rickc2102]

The best chorus mode is using two amps, running full vibrato into amp B with no uni on amp A, really fills a room.

[@FjordFuzz]

Yeah I can imagine that might sound pretty sweet!

[@DrGregWeisswasserND]

This pedal sounds fantastic. Passed my test.

[@slo-blo]

I was hoping to get my midnattsol delivered today but it’s delayed until Monday. I was going to show a colleague at work today what I was eagerly waiting for when I saw this new one!🙀 You were mentioning working out how to do unies without LDRs in the midnattsol demo but i couldn’t imagine you’d already have it ready.🙌 Looks and sounds amazing! Bass demos, please!🙏🤩

[@FjordFuzz]

Oh no! That’s too bad. It’ll hopefully show up very soon! Working out the OTAs successfully was definitely a surprise to me too haha. I didn’t think it would work the way I did it, but here we are! That also means I can make MIDNATTSSOL a general release soon!

[@slo-blo]

@ Yea, it’s actually only kilometers away. Cool, looking forward for a comparison between different midnattsol too down the line. Really appreciate you commenting on the differences between midnattsol and the frei proto in this vid!👍

They look and sound fantastic - I would have had the slider on Speed / Rate duties though - and the large knob for Depth!

Thanks! I thought about it, and then I thought about what the repairs would look like! Hahaha

Glad you like it!

[@danielbarbieri8199]

You're completely right with optical. None of us plays like Jimmy. Most UV are very difficult to use because the effect is too much. Btw optical is very good for tremolo. I think tremolo is too often underrated. A good versatile tremolo could replace any modulation pedal...

[@FjordFuzz]

I do love the over-the-top Uni-Vibe stuff too though, but I’m noticing even in my own very loud free psych ensemble it can get too crass and strenuous, so this should likely alleviate that. Still retains all of that chewy mid shifting that I’m really after though. I like tremolos too! I have an idea for a parallel processed MS-20 high pass and low pass filter with the uni-vibe LFO hitting them both at 180 degrees of phase shift for a sort of self-oscillating harmonic tremolo that I think would be just out of this world! Like a uni-vibe from the future!

[@danielbarbieri8199]

@FjordFuzz Great idea 👍 Harmonic tremolos are wonderfull too. A pot to blend harmonic like and selectable sine/square/triangle waves could be nice. A tap tempo won't hurt neither 😉

[@bottlecapsounds]

sounds nice mate .. im a sucker for a vibe lol ..

[@pedallover3]

Jimi would be proud

[@greenflamingoguitar2758]

sounds sooo good! You have the fuzz before the vibe(s), right?

[@FjordFuzz]

Yeah that’s how I like it!

[@greenflamingoguitar2758]

@FjordFuzz ...we clearly hear why 😎

[@FjordFuzz]

@ haha thanks! Whenever I use something like a fuzz face or more recently a Zonk ii-style thing, the way I like to think of them is as sort of dynamics processors; as interfaces between the guitar and whatever else is going on. The cleaned up fuzz face tone is my clean tone. I turn it on at the beginning of a show and never turn it up. My overdrive is my guitar turned up until right before the attack is obliterated by the fuzz compression and then I use the full tilt fuzz tone as a legato, over compressed cello/viola-like tone for whenever that is needed, so the fuzz just has to be first, for this to work! There’s many reasons to do it other ways than this, but this has turned into how I do things and I wish I could go like 15 years back in time and know this stuff back when my music was even remotely relevant, haha!

[@greenflamingoguitar2758]

@FjordFuzz thanks for sharing this thoughts! I can totally relate to that - my playing changed a lot when I got comfortable in the fuzz rabbit hole...

[@richardnagamitsu1582]

Is this going to be a limited release. Curious about your comment about a big box version. I dig the Leslie tone.

[@FjordFuzz]

It’s limited in terms of the specific feature set that this specific iteration offers, but I am leaning towards thinking it’s just about right the way that it is, so I think at most, the control panel design might change slightly, but I feel like the way that it is is already pretty great, so maybe no changes are necessary. The main question was really «should I keep it simple and offer a bigger more elaborate version or smash them together and raise the price?». I feel like I’ll go for two products instead of one, right now! Oh and about that: If you google «midnattssol» i think you’ll be able to find it!

[@rhododendren]

badass duo sonic man great playing too

[@Astral-Rek]

Wowwww sounds killer

[@onehellofameme6166]

right after I was asking if there would be a frei sequel thank you. It says this is a prototype are you planning a full release of this one in the regular style of fjord pedals with the gold white faceplate options or are you just releasing this version?

[@FjordFuzz]

Well, I haven’t decided on what FREI should be just yet. Should it be a simple entry-level vibe priced somewhat low and then maybe I could just leave all the fancy options for the MIDNATTSSOL, or should I just pack everything I can think of into FREI? I need to just sort of sit with it for a bit and then this eventually turns into the full release FREI. Right now I’m really leaning towards just keeping it this way and having a second bigger vibe pedal with all the extra stuff! Once it goes into full production it will certainly have good as an option, yes!

[@onehellofameme6166]

@@FjordFuzz out of curiosity what are the things you are looking to put into MIDNATTSSOL? What more would you pack into it.
