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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
