Sound:
Vibrato isn't the best sound, compared to my tube tremolo in my amplifier (I rate 7) but the chorus(rotating speaker sound) does what is does(I rate 9).
It sounds pretty close to the rotating speaker sound.
Well done Uni-vibe Dunlop.
Feature:
Features are good. Although I couldn't get distortion out of the amp
when I mixed both vibrato and chorus. But then again my amp isn't
stereo so I was trying to make it mono(you are suppose to mix it in stereo amplifiers). How many people own stereo amp anyway?
Ease of Use:
I suppose it is easy. It lacks subtlety though, I mean I tweaked it
many times to get that airey open bass with sweat compressed distortion sound but it was too subtle for the pedal to handle.
(Maybe I need reverb)
Always best with speed and intensity all the way up I thought.
The damn battery change requires four philips screws to be removed.
I'm too lazy and I get annoyed doing it all the time!
A well it's good anyway
Quality:
Durable, cool, blinking LED at the rate of rotating sound, sqaure, awesome knobs and dark silver colour. What more do you want for crying out loud it a freaking pedal!
Value:
Every pedal should be worth 50 bucks really.
Manufacturer Support:
Never needed one but they sent info and all that stuff... with the box.... I think. It's sweet man.
The Wow Factor:
It sought of spoke to me "Get Me!" Yeah It had me at the description
"rotating speaker sound".
I was willing to pay although I have no idea if it's worth it or if it's any good.
Overall:
there are other rotating speaker pedals out there and I haven't had the pleasure comparing those pedals. Having said that my humbucker through jmp marshall with this pedal turned all the way up sounds close (or exactly the same) to the sound of jimmy page solo in "good times bad times". I have recorded it and compared to the song. I was pleased because that's what I wanted and was willing to pay, nuff said.
Sound:
When I bought this pedal, I was looking for a pedal that would create a true pitch-shifting vibrato - like an old Boss VB-2 or like the vibrato built-in to my Magnatone 260 amp. This pedal does just that! I love it! I use the vibrato output, set the Mix at zero, turn the intensity to about 10 o' clock and set the Speed at 12 o' clock. Voila, musical perfection for around a hundred bucks! Beautiful, lush pitch-shifting vibrato - just like a violinist creates by rocking his/her left hand on a string. If Dunlop quits making this pedal, they are ABSOLUTE ASSES! They never did a good job of advertising its capabilities in the first place!
Feature:
Besides the fantastic, above-mentioned vibrato, this pedal also creates an incredible full-on, fat-bottomed Leslie effect. If Dunlop quits making this pedal, they are ABSOLUTE ASSES! They never did a good job of advertising its capabilities in the first place!
Ease of Use:
This pedal is easy to get great sounds from, but it does take some time to really get to know it and find the exact sounds you are looking for. If Dunlop quits making this pedal, they are ABSOLUTE ASSES! They never did a good job of marketing it in the first place!
Quality:
The case on this is a "BRICK." It is, essentially, an oversized MXR box. The switch is very heavy-duty. I have owned this effects pedal for many years and have never had a problem with it. If Dunlop quits manufacturing this pedal, they are ABSOLUTE ASSES. This pedal is FANTASTIC! They never BRAGGED THIS THING UP THE WAY THEY SHOULD HAVE!
Value:
Is this worth the price? Are you kidding me? If you've always wanted pitch-shifting vibrato, like a Magnatone 280 or a great Leslie effect - buy one of these FAST, QUICKLY, NOW - while they're still available! At 100 bucks, they're a steal! I don't think Dunlop is continuing this product - they must be COMPLETE ASSES!
Manufacturer Support:
I have never dealt with anybody at this company. I like the sturdiness of their cases. I like the simplicity of their control layouts. I love the way that they keep bring back classic designs of the past! These OLDIES were also the GOODIES! Let's face it, they were!
The Wow Factor:
Who gives a rip what it looks like! Alright, it is fairly ugly and utilitarian! But, it sounds FANTASTIC - assuming you are a real musician and want true musical tone! If you just want ear-piercing, obnoxious noise; who really cares about you're type anyways! You just make things irritating for the rest of us!
Overall:
Hopefully, this pedal will last for as long as I do! It is always on my pedal-board and almost always on. If it were lost or stolen, I would be very sad and would search for another one until I found it!
