The sound of a univibe pedal is magical, full of sticky swirls and low that is thick enough to chew on, especially when used with a slightly overdriven amp. It's a sound that fascinated, and inspired, players like Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, David Gilmour and Doyle Bramhall II. Until now, the best versions of these pedals were large in size and expensive, but that has all changed now that we welcome Ultraviolet to the Strymon family!

UltraViolet is a hyper-accurate recreation of the classic vibe sound that began with the original Shin Ei Univibe in the late 1960s, but it goes far beyond that. Strymon has captured all the key interdependencies of the original components down to the smallest nuance, but Strymon has also innovated by adding a new Blend mode to the original Chorus (50/50) and Vibrato (100% wet) settings, giving you a 70/30 mix of dry and wet for a more subtle effect. Strymon has also added three different Bias settings so you can fundamentally adjust the throb and growl of the vibe sound to suit the needs of the music. Highly addictive!

A overview of the Strymon UltraViolet

This video discusses a unique guitar sound that has enchanted some of the most influential guitarists ever. These sounds can be heard in well-known songs such as Jimi Hendrix's "Machine Gun" and Pink Floyd's "Breathe," created largely from the original SHINee unibibe pedal from the 1960s. However, modern versions of these pedals are often analog, large and very expensive.

This changes with the introduction of the Strymon ultraviolet vintage vibe pedal, inspired by the classic unibibe sound but in a smaller size. The pedal offers the same sound quality with added flexibility, without losing the authentic sound. It has three knobs for speed, intensity and volume and introduces a new blend mode for different styles of music. The Ultraviolet pedal also stands out for its versatility, with several settings to customize the sound.
