JHS Unicorn V2 Analog Uni-Vibe Guitar Effects Pedal

Pink Floyd’s “Breathe,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Star-Spangled Banner live at Woodstock 1969," and Robin Trower’s “Bridge of Sighs” cemented the sound of a photocell-based vibe effect as an electric guitar standard.

The JHS Pedals Unicorn is their version of this heralded effect, continuing the inspiring modulation/phasing/rotary sounds that never fail to push musical boundaries. And just like the originals, they've included a toggle for choosing between a Uni-Vibe* effect and a traditional vibrato setting. What sets Unicorn apart from all other vibe-style circuits is that it is the first-ever fully analogue, photocell-based vibe with tap tempo as well as ratio, external tap control, and external rate control via expression pedal (optional). And the Unicorn does it all with only four knobs and a mini-toggle switch. In a day and age when everything has been seen and done, JHS brings you the first-ever, 100% analogue vibe photocell modulator with onboard tap tempo.

This pedal requires standard 9V DC Negative power, consumes 100mA, and measures 2.2"x4.8"x1.6".
