Strymon Ultraviolet
Strymon · pedal
The Strymon UltraViolet Vintage Vibe faithfully recreates the iconic Uni-Vibe sound in a modern, reliable pedal, delivering vintage chorus and vibrato swirl without the inconsistency of original units. Its algorithm captures the characteristic woosh, swell, and quirks of a real Uni-Vibe, and it is hard to distinguish from analog vibe pedals while being easy to dial in and generally less intrusive. The simple layout has three knobs, Volume, Speed, and Intensity, plus two switches: one selecting modulation type and one adjusting bias. It offers traditional 100% wet Vibrato, a 50/50 Chorus, and a subtler 70/30 Blend for gentle frequency movement. Musical and versatile, it suits players wanting to dress up and layer clean tones with classic vibe textures across psychedelic, blues, and ambient styles.
