Hahaha, wind in the trees, like that! I've been listening to the Zakk Wylde recreation of the first Black Sabbath album, and on the title track, Zakk used his what I believe is the Rotovibe, during the song and it sounds incredible 😮..like you said it has to match the tempo of the song. I didn't notice it until I was listening to it through headphones. Kinda me think about all the tunes you could do this with tastefully!!! Thanks for the tips!
Totally dig this man love of music. Very keen and influential mentor. Love Jimi Hendrix's "Machine Gun" on which he used a Uni-Vibe if I am not mistaken.
I'm pretty positive a close approximation of an original univibe is out of my budget. I'd love to have one of the compact stereo pedals that Dunlop made in the 90s before MXR took over production of the univibe and made it mono
I love my Rotosphere MKII for high speeds but I bet this would be great for that laid back type of trill. Cool pedal. Pedal pawn doesn’t make a bad pedal.
It ultimately comes down to parts and manufacturing. A proper uni-vibe works by surrounding an oscillating photocell with optical sensors. Those sensors pick up the light and then partially inhibit and warp the current. That whole circuit is complex and requires expensive electronic components. The photocells especially have an incredibly profound impact on the sound of the vibe, so putting quality ones in is vital. That naturally raises the cost significantly.
@@grimwaldestudios7073Could also be supply and demand. Not TOO many people want this pedal so it isn't mass manufactured in places like China, and instead only made in first world countries where labor costs are higher.
