In 2015 we brought you the Unicorn V1 …the world’s first bulb-driven photocell modulator with tap tempo…our very own Uni-Vibe if you will. This Spring 2018 we are proud to bring you the Unicorn V2! Pink Floyds Breathe, Jimi Hendrixs Star Spangled Banner live at Woodstock 1969,” and Robin Trowers Bridge of Sighs cemented the sound of a photocell-based vibe effect as an electric guitar standard. The JHS Pedals Unicorn is our version of this heralded effect, continuing the inspiring modulation/phasing/rotary sounds that never fail to push musical boundaries. And just like the originals, we included a toggle for choosing between a Uni-Vibe* effect and a traditional vibrato setting. What sets Unicorn apart from all other vibe-style circuits is that it is the first-ever fully analog, photocell-based vibe with tap tempo as well as ratio, external tap control, and external rate control via expression pedal (optional). And the Unicorn does it all with only four knobs and a mini-toggle switch. In a day and age when everything has been seen and done, we bring you the first-ever, 100% analog vibe photocell modulator with onboard tap tempo. Youre welcome.

JHS Unicorn V2

Analog Univibe with Tap Tempo Guitar Effects Pedal

The Unicorn is our version of the heralded photocell-based vibe effect, continuing the inspiring modulation/phasing/rotary sounds that never fail to push musical boundaries. We included a toggle for choosing between a Uni-Vibe effect and a traditional vibrato setting. It is a fully analog, photocell-based vibe with tap tempo as well as ratio, external tap control, and external rate control via expression pedal, and it does it all with only four knobs and a mini-toggle switch.

Sounds as good as you remember

The Unicorn is bursting with all the lush and washy pulsations that changed what the electric guitar could sound like in the 1960s. And this is no digital emulation. The Unicorn sports the real-deal, analog photocell topology of the original units.

Sounds like the originals because it’s built like the originalsAll-analog signal path delivers a warm, touch-sensitive toneDry/Wet toggle selects between a Uni-Vibe and vibrato effect

In-depth tempo control

There are other analog vibe pedals and there are pedals with tap-tempo control, but – if we’re allowed to gloat for a second – the JHS Unicorn is the first to put ‘em together. Add optional external speed control and a ratio knob that determines the rhythmic subdivisions – or as we like to say, how much fairy dust enters into the flux capacitor of the Unicorn – and you have one of the most versatile vibe pedals on the market.

Control the rate of the effect with the Speed knob or onboard tap-tempo footswitchWant quarter note, dotted eighth, or triplet rhythms? They’re all on the Ratio knobLED notifies you of the effect’s tempo, even when disengaged

External tempo and expression control

But wait, there’s more! One of the things that makes the vintage Shin-ei Uni-Vibes so desirable is your ability to control the effect’s rate in real time with an external expression pedal. How could we not include that!? And to go one step further, you can slave the pedal to other tap-controlled pedals for rhythmic consistency across all your effects.

Internal Tap/Expression mini switch controls the side-mounted Tap/Exp TRS jackExpression pedal control of the Unicorn’s rate in the Exp settingUse an external source to control the rate in the Tap Out setting (Works great with our Panther Cub and Emperor pedals)

Couldn’t be easier to use

One of the things we’re most proud of with the Unicorn Uni-vibe Photocell Modulator is how easy it is to dial up the exact pulse of a mystical Unicorn running across a field of 4-leaf clovers…but only if you dare.

Four knobs and a mini toggle are all you need for a world of syrupy, modulated tonesLeft two controls are your tone, right two controls are your speed, toggle is your effect. It’s that simple

About JHS Pedals

JHS Pedals is the result of Josh Scott’s desire to build quality effects pedals that stand out in an over-saturated market. Started in early 2007 by way of a DIY repair to a Boss Blues Driver, JHS Pedals has evolved into an effects pedal company recognized world-wide. Josh’s years of touring and session work along with eventual electronics tinkering bring the experience and knowledge of what musicians need and want in their rigs, and that is one of the core values that JHS was built upon.

With a complete electric guitar, bass guitar, utility, and Mod Shop, JHS Pedals offers one of the broadest lines of effects on the market today. We value and commit to designing, populating, and assembling pedals that sound excellent, are easy to use, and work correctly.
