Used And Vintage Pedals

In the world of vintage gear, there are legendary, iconic and classic effects pedals that hold a special place in history.  This is one.
 
Developed by audio engineer Fumio Mieda, the Uni-Vibe pedal was initially created in 1967 as the Honey Vibra Chorus to emulate the atmospheric modulation of Russian radio signals.  In 1968, following the dissolution of Honey and the acquisition of the design by Shin-ei, the pedal took on its iconic form and gained an external speed control.  Legends such as David Gilmour, Jimi Hendrix, and Robin Trower made the Uni-Vibe famous, creating an entire market for reissues and alternate versions - but this isn't a recreation, it's the real deal!
 
Crafted with a fusion of phasing and vibrato techniques, the Univibe produces a unique and entrancing sound. Its warm and smooth tones are accompanied by a pulsating quality that is difficult to put into words.
 
This one is in great condition, especially considering its age, and includes the original footswitch controller.  You won't see many of these out there, and they are high in demand - so get this before it's gone!
