aesthetically pleasing, durable, and great sound.

This Uni-vibe copy has a great sound for the price. If youre one of those people who only uses this effect maybe once or twice a show then this thing is perfect. To my ear it leans more on the "bridge of sighs" sound than a hendrix sound but in the end it all works the same I suppose. Takes up about as much room as my flashback 2 and light as a feather but still durable as products twice its price point . It also has a flip switch for chorus but I cant comment on that because I dont like chorus at all to be able to compare it to anything. The sweep on the knobs is just right, im never struggling to find "the spot", which believe it or not happens more often then it should on these smaller pedals. The only drawback is that it can get poppy on the stomp switch but its hardly noticeable and could just be my setup. I highly recommend if you don`t want to break the bank but want that sweet sound.

Interesting little piece.

Interesting little piece, no strong impact on sound but it adds that little tremolo that can sound really nice and mellow. Good for "cherry on the top" building of the sound.
