The JHS Unicorn V2 Uni-Vibe/Vibrato Pedal - The Uni-Vibes Series

[@PhilLament]

What are your preferences re: Uni-vibe vs. Phaser or some other modulation? For me, listening to a song with a uni-vibe sound is more enjoyable than playing a uni-vibe. I tend to lean toward phaser (especially if I have a wah or an envelope filter in the chain, as well).

I am pretty sure PJ would say tremolo is his preferred modulation. Maybe followed by chorus. A while back I added a line 6 M5 to my effects loop. Somehow I landed on a phaser on that pedal and absolutely love it. You’ll probably see a phaser rabbit hole sooner or later on the channel. Univibe was my preferred when I was gigging with a blues based jam band years ago. That board had a voodoo labs microvibe on it. We recorded that pedal already and it will be released sooner or later. Now I love the rotary thing and don’t put a board together without some kind of leslie pedal! This series is rekindling my love of the univibe though.

I had that pedal a few years ago and then had a huge pedal sell off to get a Helix floor unit 🤦🏼‍♂️ sold the Helix and have a big collection of pedals again 💰💰💰…. When will the madness stop 😂. On the fence with the Unicorn or Fulltone version. 🤔

There are a lot of great options for uni vibes now. I remember when the two you mentioned were really it. I’m holding onto my tube amps for dear life to avoid falling into that rabbit hole! :)

They need to figure out how to make a H&K Rotosphere. That has a clarity and realisticness that no one has matched yet. Venti II is close. I have a Lex V2 but it is no Rotosphere. Yeah hold onto those tube amps 😂. The one thing the Helix and Axe Fx 3 did for me is help me figure out what tube amps I like 😁 but made me wonder what was I missing from the real amps. Bought a Fillmore 100 head, great amp but still prefer playing my Mesa Mk3.

@@jlbaxe I have a Rotosphere on my Sunday board that never leaves the stage. It is amazing! I really like the neo stuff and use the micro vent 122 a good bit. When I had to put the Rotosphere in the shop I used the ventilator for a bit and it sounded great. I really like the strymon Lex too. Still have and use the V1 from time to time. We just did a video on strymon’s ultraviolet pedal for this series is it is really good as well.
