@@TheToneLounge yes like the modulation isn't affecting everything or isn't "dynamic" enough. Listen to a real Univibe where the low frequencies get noticably louder and then almost disappear and even lag behind (the high frequency rate) with each rate shift. I call that "weight" or maybe "throb". Univibes had that "throb" to them
@@TheToneLounge There's almost a human vocal quality to a real Univibe and its more accurate clones ua-cam.com/video/EBexNRy8ZkY/v-deo.htmlsi=zGFX-VMD-lcRrZ3W
I've read some people say that the JHS Unicorn has some clipping issues; mostly with humbuckers or hotter pickups. Did you notice any clipping at all? Been wanting to get a Uni-Vibe but the pricetags can be a bit high on other options Cheers!
You definitely get more of the effect of the pedal at the end of the chain but with the wet/dry switch can't you fine tune how much your introducing the effect?
I think most people would use it before pedals. It tends to make drives sound a little harsh when placed after them although we ve seen players we love to put it at the end. Must be one of the neglected pedals nowadays or not?
I think that it isn't as popular as it once was. I think it's still one of my most mystifying pedal that I have ever heard. When I was a kid, I could never figure out what effect it was. I bought flangers, phasers and choruses and none sounded like this. It's many years later that I heard about the Uni-Vibe. So much time and money wasted trying to get this exact modulation lol
@@TheToneLounge Yes Jon, same here, i am a sucker for the sound of some tracks of Clapton, specially his beano period, i understand he made extensive use of it. Not to mention Hendrix if we want a fine example of how the uvibe sounds like at the end of the chain.

I’m getting a shwooshing sound from mine very trebbly and sometimes a wah effect? Not the throbbing beast I’m after
Too jangly trebbly
So tinny sounding👎🏼
I have a unicorn. It is the 2nd pedal In my chain behind my compressor. It is before everything else including fuzz
It just makes sense to put it before fuzz and ODs. When it's after, I find it too overwhelming.
a Univibe clone should have "weight" behind the modulation, sort of like what a Leslie speaker and the original Univibe have. This one sounds weak.
Do you mean that the modulation effect is not present enough?

I haven't heard any clipping. Mind you, I don't play the hottest humbuckers so I can't say for sure.

Exactly! That is what makes this a more versatile effect.
