JHS Unicorn V2 Uni-Vibe Pedal JHS

Our Take:

Originally released in 2015, the Unicorn pedal from JHS was an incredible take on the legendary Uni-Vibe. Just like the Uni-Vibe, the Unicorn utilizes photocell technology to create its effects, delivering gorgeous analog modulation, phasing, and rotary sounds that are guaranteed to mesmerize your audience. The Unicorn also features a toggle to switch between the Uni-Vibe effect and a more traditional vibrato, and an external rate/tap control option via expression pedal for increased control over the effect. JHS’s Unicorn V2 is an updated model from the original ’15 version, but only in two ways: it’s half the size of the original, and less expensive. Need we say more?

JHS’s Take:

In 2015 we brought you the Unicorn V1 …the world’s first bulb-driven photocell modulator with tap tempo…our very own Uni-Vibe if you will.  This Spring 2018 we are proud to bring you the Unicorn V2!

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 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.
