The MXR Uni-Vibe Chorus/Vibrato delivers the same lush, chewy textures that players have used since the late '60s. Updated with modern gigging players in mind, this effect now it comes in a standard MXR housing-a fraction of the size and weight of the original-with true bypass switching.
With its simple three-knob interface, you can dial in the effect to your taste in short order. First, use the VIBE switch to select either Chorus Mode-dry signal mixed with pitch-shifted signal-or Vibrato Mode-only pitch-shifted signal. Then, use the LEVEL control to set the effect volume, the SPEED control to set the sweep rate, and the DEPTH control to set overall intensity.
The thick wash of Uni-Vibe® Chorus/Vibrato that permeates the landmark Band of Gypsys™ album is undeniably some of the most transcendent tone ever recorded. With that pedal’s chorusy, Leslie-sounding goodness, Jimi Hendrix was able to summon startlingly rich textures that sound as if you can actually spoon them out of the speakers. This pedal delivers those classic tones in all of their stunning analog glory at a fraction of the size of the vintage Shin-ei unit that Hendrix used from 1969 to 1970. Now available in an MXR mini housing emblazoned with the trippy, kaleidoscopic designs of award-winning UK-based design crüe ILOVEDUST, the Uni-Vibe Chorus/Vibrato looks better than ever and takes up way less space on your pedalboard.

That genius using the looper to test out new sounds and settings, I need to do this! 🤘
Hmm they are analog but how come in the first 10 secs you mention they are digital? Im puzzled
Thank you for this comparison it helps people who can't really try them both together.
Wow they’re actually very different. Think I prefer the MXR.
Downsizing components does something with the sound somehow! - Sasha
@@maxguitarstorethe mini sounds more muffled
The mini sounds really good especially after you adjusted it.
The JHW3 (Jimi) sounds dirty, distorted, which might be what you're looking for. They are different
Hi. What uni vibe is the better one ? Is the JHW 3'a bit more dirty sound ?? Thanks
The MXR.
Am I the only one who likes the Hendrix Univibe a lot?
X2
yes
Same
Why is the reverb so high?
Because reverb
Hi - Are you sure these pedals are both digital, not analog? I'm pretty sure the MXR Uni-Vibe is an analog pedal, but I'm not sure about the Hendrix one. Is the Hendrix one definitely a digital pedal?
Well let me rephrase that. These aren’t optical univibes that work with a bulb and LDR’s. I don’t know exactly if that automatically makes these pedals digital buy they don’t work in the same way an original univibe does :) - Sasha
”M68 Uni-Vibe is not an optical circuit-driven Uni-Vibe miraculously shrunken and stuffed in a compact enclosure. What it is, is an excellent FET-driven, analog chorus/vibrato..”
- Charles Saufley / Premier Guitar
They’re digital. As in totally.
@@davidj.steiger3178 no it's just a new circuit that sonically minics the effects of Shin-E's design, a design that uses photocells to control it's 4 phasing stages. MXR's current design is different than the former dunlop stuff, and compared to an actual 1968-72 univibe there is less tone suck and a wider frequency response, which can be eq'd out with a preamp, or you can run coiled cables to warm it up etc. It is shabbier than a genuine Univibe circuit at doing that dopler/vertigo affect, and it is too crystaline to get that soupyness. But in your chain you can get it to sound like a genuine univibe, and it isn't a digital machine which is nice. This isn't recomendable for doing full Band if Gypsies numbers because expression is omitted which is the designer's lazyness really, considering what the japanese could accomplish in a better unit back in 68. but it's warm and good at doing vibrato which is why I own it. And is cheap used
The mxr uses a JFET circuit and does a decent job sounding like a bulb and photocell style vibe. The mini Dunlop Hendrix vibe in my opinion sounds terrible.
Agree
I'll stay with my Electro harmonix good vibes
MXR sounds better, but the Drybell Vibe Machine smokes them both (and many others). I need to accept that I'm gunna drop $300 on a uni-vibe I guess 🤷♂️
Maybe check out the ehx good vibes or the depths by eqd? They’re both cheaper alternatives that sound great! Also the agaric phaser by farm pedals (a dual univibe not a normal phaser), or the viscous vibe even though it’s recently been discontinued
I prefer the mxr univibe 🤔
I Agree
Mxr
Neither is very good.
They are the same pedal
Different tones
Someday these TH-camrs will get creative and do their own Jams
I think most do this because it gives a preference point to the OG sound & that's what most are looking to compare.
@@TheCleaner6969 fact...i prefer covers of hendrix ore pink floyd because that is the sound i want to go to and i am shure i am not the only one and it is hard to compare a univibe to an "original" riff by the youtuber it self when you are searching for a specific type of vibe sound.👍
@@marquisdecarabas1312 I couldn't agree more. The more you dig the more you find so much processing in the studio took place you really got to go for what you like & think sounds best.
