Strymon UltraViolet Vintage Vibe Chorus & Vibrato Pedal

Much more than a re-creation of the legendary Uni-Vibe effect, Strymon’s UltraViolet Vintage Vibe chorus and vibrato pedal elevates classic rock’s most psychedelic effect with a significantly enhanced control section and modernized features. This pedal starts with an extraordinarily precise digital replica of the original Uni-Vibe’s Chorus and Vibrato modes, then ups the ante with a more subtle Blend mode — a 70/30 split of your dry/wet signal, as opposed to the 50/50 split of Chorus mode. Speed, Intensity, and Volume significantly increase your ability to sculpt and shape Uni-Vibe tones to your liking. Meanwhile, Strymon’s addition of a 3-position Bias switch drastically alters the UltraViolet’s voice by modifying the center frequency of the effect’s sweep. You also get all the cutting-edge benefits inherent to Strymon’s compact pedal lineup, including full MIDI implementation, a premium discrete analog input preamp, 300 presets, USB-C, and mono/stereo operation. Compact, versatile, and beaming with vintage-accurate swirl — Strymon’s UltraViolet is a must-have pedal for any Uni-Vibe fanatic.

• Chorus mode: This setting supplies the legendary swirl effect so famously used by guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour. Essentially, chorus mode mixes your dry signal with a phase-shifted signal, resulting in funky asymmetrical phase-shifting tones. Despite its name, “Chorus” mode doesn’t exactly sound like any traditional chorus effect — the name is primarily a tribute to the Chorus/Vibrato switch found on the original Uni-Vibe.
• Vibrato mode: When you set UltraViolet to Vibrato mode, you’ll revel in a seasick 100% wet haze. From a slight pulse of pitch to warped psychedelic madness, Vibrato mode offers a truly dazzling array of sonic possibilities.
• Blend mode: A bold new addition to the Uni-Vibe formula, Blend mode replaces the 50/50 mix of the dry/phase chorus signal with a 70/30 mix. The result? A more subtle sound that Sweetwater guitarists find is just a tad more versatile than Chorus mode.
