The Uni-Vibe by Shin-ei is a 1960's vintage style chorus-vibrato effect designed with the basic circuitry found in the original Uni-Vibe and Vibe-Bro. It runs on 24 volts DC and comes with its own 24 volt DC wall power adapter. The pedal features NOS Vintage Uni-Vibe style Japanese Miyama Black Chorus- Vibrato switch and original vintage style Uni-Vibe circuitry featuring many NOS components. It also includes two variable speed control knobs and a face- mounted Bypass-Preamp toggle switch. The pedal board-friendly compact design measures 5.5 x 4.5 x 1.75 inches (13.5 x 11.5 x 4.5 cm) and accommodates an optional 1960's vintage style "Double Rubber" speed control pedal (non- cancelling).
It is important to note that improper use of commercially available power supplies exceeding 24 volts DC will damage the Vibe-2 and void the warranty. The use of a speed control foot pedal with the Vibe-2 other than an official Shin-ei Vibe-2 speed control pedal will also damage the unit and void the warranty. The Vibe-2 can run on "one" 24 volt output (no doubler cable necessary) as long as the minimum amperage is 400mA.
The Uni-Vibe offers two modes of operation - Chorus and Vibrato. It is known for its unique circuitry featuring an incandescent bulb surrounded by four light-dependent resistors (LDRs) that generate a rhythmic throb characteristic of the Uni-Vibe sound. The pedal does not have an actual bypass function but includes a fuse holder at the front.
