TC Electronic Viscous Vibe UniVibe Pedal with TonePrint

No longer available at zZounds
A digital recreation of the Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe, this vibrato pedal from TC Electronic churns out luscious, syrupy vibe tone reminiscent of Hendrix and Floyd.

The original Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe is a highly unique, complex and gorgeous-sounding analog unit, so when TC Electronic set out to recreate it digitally they knew it wasn't going to be easy. Through countless hours of meticulous side-by-side testing with the real thing and by pushing their insanely powerful DSP to its very limits, TC Electronic has been able to recreate this legendary effect to a tee. You'll get all the lush, syrupy vibe tones heard on countless tracks by Pink Floyd, Robin Trower and Jimi Hendrix and when you dive into that opening Machine Gun riff, we just know you'll be convinced that we nailed it.

The World of Rock Just Leveled Up!

TC Electronic poured their heart and soul into Viscous Vibe and there's no hiding that they're extremely proud of what they've achieved. Its dead-on recreations of the legendary gooey phase-y goodness and thick dramatic swirls of the original Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe unit already makes it epic, but then transferring it all to a high-quality compact design that won't break the bank - that just makes it epic beyond belief.

Vintage Vibes and Modern Strides

With Viscous Vibe you get the best of both worlds in a pedal that perfectly combines old analog warmth with modern-day functionality. With True Bypass for uncompromising tonal quality and stereo I/O for an ultra-wide sonic perspective, you get the perfect pedal for everybody who wants to implement classic-rock tones into their contemporary setup.

I plugged my guitar into this pedal and there was that thick swirling sound I've loved since I first heard Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" album many years ago. A few tweaks and I was able to get David Gilmour's tones from "Breathe" and "Have a Cigar". Best Uni-Vibe emulator I've tried, hands down.
