The Keeley Seafoam Chorus is a smooth, ethereal analog-voiced chorus and vibrato that uses an analog-digital design with an FET input to stay true to your core tone. Its True Chorus mode adds second and third voices with slight timing and pitch differences from the original signal, creating a more organic, three-dimensional chorus than typical units. Tone and blend controls are central to its range, letting players match darker humbucker or brighter single-coil guitars and push rate and depth for lush, trippy vibrato textures. The circuit pairs an uncommon IC with an opto-isolator LFO to deliver wide, shimmering modulation while suppressing the hum and noise common to analog choruses. It suits clean ambient, pop, and dreamy lead tones.
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.
