Stellar!
It can go from subtle modulation to overall wonky, warbly tones. Sounds so perfect it's ridiculous. Plays for well with delay, reverb, and other modulation pedals as well as gain based effects. Using a compressor with it makes it beautiful and bright
Works with more than just the neck pickup of a Strat
Very cool effect. I love this pedal! Finally a Univibe sound that can be used with different guitars, including humbuckers.
Submerge Yourself in Excellence
I've always struggled with Univibes. Hendrix, Gilmour and Trower all make 'em sound incredible, but I've never been able to get them to sound anything other than thin, brittle and lifeless, no matter the rig that surrounds the pedal.
That all changed with the depths.
A little tweaking with the voice knob, and I can get it to sit perfectly with any pickup, any dirt pedal, any amp. And WHAT A SOUND from this little piece of perfection. It does the classic uni-vibe sound, and then goes above (and below) that, everything from a slow, undulating undertow to stuttery, almost harmonic-tremolo-like effects. The Throb control is your secret to taking it from subtle to extreme.
Haven't found a sound on it yet that doesn't have its use yet. It's incredible.
Nice review. I’m considering one, how do you feel about it a couple yrs later?
