Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.49% — somewhat different

The Catalinbread Pareidolia is a tremolo-based modulation pedal that incorporates elements of phasing and pitch modulation for a character akin to a Uni-Vibe or rotary speaker effect. The combination of tremolo modulation with phase and pitch elements produces a complex, organic modulation that captures the swirling, speaker-in-motion character associated with rotating speaker cabinets and vintage Uni-Vibe pedals. Operates at both 9V and 18V for adjustable headroom. Built by Catalinbread in Portland, Oregon.
The JHS Unicorn V2 is an all-analog, photocell-based UniVibe pedal with tap tempo, offering the rotating-speaker character of the classic Uni-Vibe with modern conveniences. It is among the first fully analog photocell vibe pedals to include tap tempo as standard. Controls include Volume, Speed, Depth, and a Ratio control for tap-tempo subdivisions, plus a Vibrato/Chorus switch. Compatible with optional external tap control and expression pedal for rate control. Made in Kansas City, Missouri.
