I cannot believe I actually got to play through a Jimi Hendrix Amp and Uni-Vibe Pedal. I used the Marshall JMP50 that Jimi Hendrix used back stage at the Isle of Wight Festival August 1970.

Excellent, I'm no pedal snob, proudly own 2 extra cheap pedals that I use a lot. But seriously absolutely no comparison between these two vibes, the original uni-vibe sounds so amazing and from memory very similar to the cream colored mini deja vibe that I used to own and because of what I can only describe as some sort of brain dysfunction, I somehow sold it, and replaced it with a nux monterey (OMG!! total waste of money), then with a Carl Martin Purple Moon (which is very cool!!, but still not the real deal) anyway Im sure youre happy to read that Im on the road to recovery cos Ive just tracked down and ordered another cream colored deja vibe, hoping to receive it next week, never to sell again. So folks be careful of your mental health and dont sell your quality vibe pedals

I wish they would make more pedals that have expression pedals that can control things like speed. It's such a massive mistake to not design pedals that way. To be able to control in the middle of a performance is incredible as shown on songs like Machine Gun

@TroglodyteMusic 2 года назад

@davidbakerscuba 2 года назад

JHS Unicorn is great and you can add an expression pedal. Plus, it uses lightbulbs like old school. Dunlop uses phasing tech to try and approximate a univibe tone.

@jmacc9876 Год назад

Fulltone mdv 2 and 3 have this. It's basically a proper univibe housed in a wah treadle pedal.

@JackNance22 Год назад

Ultimate comparison, very cool. I own the mini Uni-Vibe in this video, if you put an MXR Phase 90 in front of it, you get an incredibly chewy sound that's very pleasing. Putting the two pedals at different speeds also yields great results.

@michaelcraig9449 2 года назад

Can the vibrato section of the Univibe be used as a good tremolo pedal sound? Like how old Fender amps were sometimes used for old blues songs, that sort of thing?

@adamnesbitt11 Год назад

Well it's a vibrato, not a tremolo

@shaft9000 6 месяцев назад

vibrato modulates pitch (technically "frequency") tremolo modulates volume (technically "amplitude") Fender crossed up guitar player lingo forever by calling the whammy-bar a 'tremolo' and calling an amp's tremolo section a "Vibrato'. [R.I.P. Leo, nobody's perfect] You can learn these things for good by studying synthesis - more or less academically. Relying on electric guitar terminology is inviting a mess of marketing and mountains of woo-woo that is best ignored altogether.

@TheCleaner6969 2 года назад

Even with the original Uni-Vibes they varied a lot from one to the other like the FF because of tolerances. It would suck to buy an OG & have it break but I noticed with some of these new pedals you can use an EQ like you said to balance it out & if they have the LEDs with the right controls lot sound really great. The Drybell Vibe Machine V3 is extremely good but way too much for an effect pedal unless you use the effect all the time. The Mosky sounds good for cheap. It's really hard to hear the differences though on a YT video except the speed. I noticed Dunlop isn't really the best choice for re-issue gear. Even their mini FF suck. Better off building your own.

@qddk9545 9 месяцев назад

You are so right - they don´t even care to match the transistors in the Mini FF.

@shaft9000 6 месяцев назад

The early transistors were also very sensitive to changes of input and output dB and impedance, and pairs or triple transistors were rarely gain-matched, biased or otherwise sorted for adequate pairing. Not to mention any differences in the sound from being 55 years old vs how it sounded when new.

@shaft9000 6 месяцев назад

Not a re-issue per-se, but their little echoplex w/top-jacks is a good as it gets at that size and for under ~$300, though. And fat chance at them or anyone re-issuing the original EP-2 or 3 any time soon. Other than the Fulltone line, is there anything besides that one Space Echo re-creation that's anywhere near it?

@santrixhimself3679 2 года назад

What do you think of the tc electronics viscious vibe? The stock modes dont really do the trick but there are some amazing hendrix tone prints availible. And it does not do the muddy thing like the jim dunlop. Which btw also happen with my danelectro chicken salad if i turn the intensity down too low. Once intensity is at about 40% it starts to brighten up again. Must be something about the light bulb or whatever Nice video by the way!

@adamlee6946 2 года назад

I recently switched from a Viscous Vibe to a Digitech Ventura Vibe. I agree with you on the stock tones. I really only ever used the tone print feature. The Digitech is way more versatile than the TC IMO, and they’re right around the same price point. It has a toggle with three settings: Classic (univibe with plenty of Hendrix, Trower and Gilmour tones) Modern (more of a regular chorus effect) and Rotary (which nails Clapton and Harrison’s Leslie tones). I checked out this vid because now I’m looking for a mini vibe pedal to go on a tiny board I’m putting together. I’ve narrowed it down to the mini Dunlop Hendrix vibe or the Lovepedal Pickle Vibe. I’m leaning towards the lovepedal after realizing the Dunlop is now selling for $200 used lol

@santrixhimself3679 2 года назад

@@adamlee6946 check out the danelectro chicken salad. It is smaller then the viscious vibe but little bigger then usual mini pedals. But it uses a light bulb. At the moment i kind of combine it with the viscious vibe. Thanks for the recommendation, ill check out that digitech pedal.

If JD could figure out how to stuff what was in the 90s UV1's into a mini box I'd be on it!

Jim Dunlop sounds like it's just phasing certain frequencies but is totally missing the throb/pulse/swirl of the Original. Original is retaining more of the dry with the effect where the Dunlop kinda just takes over like an effect/toy. I own a 70's Shin-Ei Univibe and you can feel it shake the room but it remains clear creating an atmosphere. Would have liked to hear you spend a lot more time with the Original as that was more rare an opportunity and you were having more fun and sounding great with it.

@michaelcraig9449 2 года назад

I recently got a new Shin-ei Vibe 2 pedal.. This is the only one that is made now. It is a darn shame they can not call it a Univibe like the original ones. A darn shame the shitty little one by Dunlop is called a Univibe now. They bought the name after Shin-ei shut down the first time.. So Shin-ei can not call the new ones a Univibe..

@Vikkk1978 Год назад

Thank you. Great video. Your excitement is undisguised. I am surprised. Hendrix's vibe sounds very airy and transparent, while most of the clones sound more bassy at first. Dunlop makes good pedals, but.....in this case the sounds are very, very different. Dunlop doesn't sound authentic.
