Description

The Dunlop Uni-Vibe UV-1 is a reissue of the classic Shin-ei Uni-Vibe optical chorus and vibrato effect, famous for its use by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock and by Robin Trower throughout his recordings. The UV-1 replicates the original four-stage optical phaser with LFO and photocell circuit for the characteristic liquid, watery chorus sweep. Includes expression pedal input for real-time speed control. Controls include Speed, Intensity, and Chorus/Vibrato mode switch.

The Tinsley Audio Sir Henry is a boutique uni-vibe-style pedal recreating the lush, watery, rotary-like modulation of the classic Univibe. Used by Kenny Wayne Shepherd, it delivers warm, three-dimensional chorus/vibrato sweeps evocative of Hendrix and late-60s psychedelia. It suits blues-rock and psychedelic players wanting authentic, organic uni-vibe textures.
