The Dunlop JHMS3 is part of the Authentic Hendrix '68 Shrine Series, a Uni-Vibe chorus and vibrato pedal in a compact MXR mini housing. It recreates the thick, watery, pulsing modulation of the vintage Shin-ei Uni-Vibe that Jimi Hendrix used from 1969 to 1970, delivering the swirling chorus and vibrato textures heard across the landmark Band of Gypsys album in analog form at a fraction of the original's size. With its hypnotic, phase like throb, it suits psychedelic, classic rock and blues players chasing authentic Hendrix era vibe tones, from gentle shimmering movement to deep, seasick pulsation. The pedal is dressed in remixed 1968 Shrine Auditorium concert poster artwork.
The Red Witch Empress is a boutique chorus-vibrato pedal from the New Zealand maker, delivering lush, dimensional modulation with the warmth of analog-voiced circuitry. Blending chorus and vibrato voicings, it produces everything from subtle shimmer to deep, watery swirl, favored by players wanting rich, organic modulation with premium build quality.
