Description

Edit description

The Shin-ei Wt-i pedal is a modern tribute to the classic Uni-Vibe sound that has captivated guitarists for decades. Known for its lush, swirling modulation, this pedal is designed to bring a touch of vintage warmth and depth to your playing. Whether you're aiming for that iconic Hendrix vibe or crafting your own unique soundscape, the Wt-i delivers a rich and dynamic experience.

At the heart of the Wt-i is its authentic photocell-based circuit, a nod to the original Uni-Vibe design that sets it apart from digital counterparts. This pedal captures the essence of the late 1960s psychedelic movement with precision, offering guitarists a truly immersive tonal palette. With its easy-to-use interface, musicians can seamlessly switch between classic chorus and vibrato modes, tailoring the effect to suit any musical style.

True to its roots, the Shin-ei Wt-i also features a vintage-style housing that not only looks the part but is built to withstand the rigors of live performance. The robust design ensures this pedal is as durable as it is sonically impressive, making it a reliable choice for both studio recording and gigs.

Key Features:

Authentic photocell-based circuit for classic Uni-Vibe tones
Switchable chorus and vibrato modes
Vintage-style housing for durability and aesthetic appeal
Easy-to-use interface for quick adjustments
True bypass switching for uncolored tone when disengaged
