    Default Dunlop Univibe Test-MP3

    Okay, as last time I had to use the built in Line6 Univibe, but I promised to make a clip with my Dunlop Univibe that I bought around 1997.

    Today was the day and I went into the basement to get it off my pedalboard that now only consists of a Fender Tuner :-(

    Okay, there is three knobs on this thing whcih is speed, volume and intensity. You got two effects, but the one is pretty unuseful so I just put it on Vibrato mode which is the typical Vibe sound we all know. I left the footcontroller downstairs and at the end of the clip I switch the tempo manually. To get this effect really going you have to put volume on 10 (soundsucker) and intensity on 10, too. Speed is up to you - I put it on 8 approximately.

    The pedal is built like a tank, very solid, but it sucks some sound, which is because it has no true bypass. It gets kind of noisyat times especially with the Fuzz. You can and should not use it with high gain sounds and I think there is better Vibe pedals out there, although this one is very sweet sounding. Just listen to the clip, I pick out a song called "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)" which I hope most of you know so you have a good chance to compare to the original. It's pretty close soundwise of course.

    Leave a comment, or just listen to the clip closely and get some GAS or even NO GAS :-)

    Great sound Jimi. You played a really nice "Jimi-style" there. I think you have the soul of Jimi in you.

    I've been thinking about getting a good vibe pedal, although I doubt it would get much use. I'd better stick to my Danelectro Chicken Salad for a while.

    No problem, please don't hesitate to ask me such questions....

    I have bought the unit for approx. 240 USD plus approx. 65 USD for the Footcontroller.

    Nice sounds Jimi! As a beginner, I find using a even a wah so that it is musically pleasing is still a challenge. I am impressed with your ability to incorporate these adventurous sounds into your excellent playing.
