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 JAM Pedals RetroVibe mk.3 carries forward the same Uni-Vibe-inspired circuit as the mk.2, built with the same photocells, bulb, NOS 2SC828 transistors, and carbon-comp resistors, while adding a new internal trimmer to dial down effect intensity, an upgraded clickless footswitch, and compatibility with any passive 10k expression pedal. Power consumption rises to 150mA from the mk.2's 80mA, reflecting the added switching and expression-pedal circuitry, positioning the mk.3 as a refinement of the original mk.2 rather than a full redesign.
The JAM Pedals RetroVibe is a uni-vibe style vibrato and chorus pedal from Greek boutique manufacturer JAM Pedals (Athens, Greece), delivering the watery, pulsing chorus and vibrato of vintage Uni-Vibe circuits using an optical LFO and photoresistor circuit. The RetroVibe captures the rotary speaker emulation character of the original Univox Uni-Vibe for Jimi Hendrix-style and David Gilmour-style uni-vibe tones at JAM Pedals handmade Greek boutique quality.
