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.54% — moderately similar

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 Wylde Audio Rotovibe is a Uni-Vibe-style chorus and vibrato pedal designed in collaboration with Zakk Wylde (Dunlop Manufacturing, Benicia, California), recreating the rotating-speaker simulation and psychedelic swirl character of the classic Uni-Vibe using Intensity and Speed controls. The Rotovibe has been a core component of Zakk Wylde's live and studio tone since 1988, used extensively on Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne recordings.
