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.33% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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.
The Source Audio Hot Hand Phaser/Flanger is a motion-controllable modulation pedal packing seven phaser and seven flanger effects, each shapeable by four selectable modulation sources for up to 56 sounds. Beyond a standard LFO, it can be driven by an envelope follower, a sequencer, or the wireless Hot Hand motion sensor ring, which lets players control the modulation in real time with subtle hand movements. The phaser voices range into warm, swirling Uni-Vibe-like territory, especially with clean tones, while the flanger spans subtle sweeps to wild, crazy vibrato. This expressive control makes it a creative tool for funk, psychedelic, and experimental players who want hands-on or automated modulation, offering far more depth and interactivity than a typical fixed-LFO phaser or flanger.
