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 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 Tru-Fi Ghost Vibe is a recreation of the classic Uni-Vibe effect built by a self-described Hendrix tone enthusiast, developed by referencing six modern vibe pedals alongside original 1968 and 1969 Uni-Vibe units to get as close as possible to the vintage 1968 sound. It includes the three core controls of the original, Volume, Speed, and Depth, labeled Intensity on the vintage unit, plus a Vibrato and Chorus mode switch. An internal buffer and normal switch mode selector makes the pedal brighter and better suited to sitting ahead of wah or fuzz pedals when buffered, or delivers a slightly darker, more vintage-accurate tone when left unbuffered. It runs on a 9V battery or power supply with voltage internally converted to 18V for extra headroom. Suited to psychedelic and classic rock players chasing authentic Hendrix-era Uni-Vibe modulation and pulsing vibrato textures.
