JHS Unicorn V2 Analog Uni-Vibe

JHS Unicorn V2 Analog Uni-Vibe

In 2015 we brought you the Unicorn V1, the world's first bulb-driven photocell modulator with tap tempo, the JHS Uni-Vibe. As of Spring 2018, we are proud to bring you the Unicorn V2!

Pink Floyd’s “Breathe,” Jimi Hendrix’s live Woodstock performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” 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 our version of this heralded effect, continuing the inspiring modulation/phasing/rotary sounds that never fail to push musical boundaries. And just like the originals, we 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 analog, 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, we bring you the first-ever, 100% analog vibe photocell modulator with onboard tap tempo. You’re welcome. 

Highlights

• VOLUME - Controls output volume. Left is less, right is more. *The Unicorn has some naturally occurring clipping, especially with high output pickups. This is normal for classic Uni-vibe designs like the Unicorn.
• DEPTH - Controls intensity of the effect. Left is less, right is more.
• SPEED - Controls rate/speed of the modulation. Left is slower, right is faster. Will override tap tempo speed when rotated.
• RATIO - Controls the ratio of the tapped speed. Choose quarter, dotted eighth, eighth, or triplet notes. This allows for faster speeds with fewer taps.
• DRY/WET TOGGLE - Dry mode is the classic Univibe sound, while Wet is a vibrato sound.
