I’d still rather have expression control over the speed, or a two speed setting, than an effects loop, mix, dwell or reverb. Really, this would be an amazing Uni Vibe, if they had just traded the effects loop for expression pedal ability.
Okay, okay enough!!! I just want a great sounding, authentic Univibe style pedal! I bought a Korg NuVibe a few years ago and I thought that would be great…until I heard your demos of the several Sabbadius Vibes (the Filmore and MasterMind being my favorites) and now this!!! I recently set up my pedalboard and now when I here my NuVibe, it doesn’t quite sound like I’d like it to be. RJ you definitely need to do another vibe shootout! Awesome demo!!🎸👍🏾🎸🎸🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Sabbadius is the way to go. It’s worth the extra $100-$150 for his 68’ or 69’ with expression ability and a killer preamp, that can be left on while the effect is bypassed, or turned off if one doesn’t want it coloring the tone.
@@CorbCorbin Cool thanks!!! I haven’t listened to either the 68 or 69 , however they are the most available out there. Yeah I’m a fan of the foot pedal on a vibe, to change the intensity at a moment’s notice.
🔊Strange thing happens ; all the current manufacturers of Uni -Vibe type pedals seem to source those “unique” and “rare” resistors ( thank you Krzysztof and CorbCorbin for your technical insight) needed to make this type of pedal‼️ Because of this it seems to me that the supply of these “highly sought after” parts are not so rare anymore except for the price of the pedals their used in🤔 🔊Awesome demo RJ🎸
actually, the bulbs are not difficult to get at all. It's the light dependent resistors that react to the bulb are hard to come by - there is very specific spec needed for the modulation to work as expected, only couple of manufacturers and very limited supplier list
It’s caps, resistors, etc., not the bulbs, as well as the circuit in general. Also, another big difference in say, a Sabbadius, is the preamp, which can be used with or without the effect. Those preamps make a big difference in a Uni Vibe.
Yup - saw video and thought wow if they can keep this in the $300-350 range they probably have a winner. Competes nicely with Strymon smaller format pedals with dual functions etc. At $450, yikes...
@@philmagallanes3850 This pedal would have to be sound REALLY special for me to want to spend $450 + $10-$20 on more patch cables to fit into my signal chain

Rj is such a good player, almost can’t trust his reviews. He could make anything sound good.
what about my fart through a vocoder and a ring modulator?
@@roblaaa1845 A LOT cheaper than $449!! ;p-)
Very valid point
@@roblaaa1845 As long as he were allowed to use his fingers in brown town, RJ would make that fart sing.
Dang killer intro jam! This vid is proof the world needs a R.J. Ronquillo solo album.
Check out RJ & The Del Guapos!
R.J. is a Vibe in itself 🔥🔥🔥
Most excellent! Your playing, and the uni-verb..... Another amazing review, thank you........
Great sounding pedal... and J. Rockett are a great company to deal with.
Killer track, sweet chops and tone! Love the vibe.
That opening jam was awesome. My new favorite!
Great review.. I watch your reviews the most because you focus more on the product that your own opinion..
I already have reverb and uni-vibe pedals ; but if I didn't , this would be a strong contender ; great playing as always RJ !
I’d still rather have expression control over the speed, or a two speed setting, than an effects loop, mix, dwell or reverb.
Really, this would be an amazing Uni Vibe, if they had just traded the effects loop for expression pedal ability.
My new favorite from RJ.
Great composition RJ and even better playing!
Sweet demo. The reverb inside is a Accutronics/PT2399 based, which is a plus in my book.

@@krzysztofstokosa9786 Is the univerb actually optical?
@@jonmartin_musicperson 🔊Good Question‼️
RJ is my Guitar Hero!
thank you
im just digging that one random hair on RJ's hat just flowing so epically the entire video.....
Sounds great! I think a fast/slow switch would be more useful than the chorus/vibe.
I'd rather have had a fast/slow switch than a reverb...
I thought the same. Idk many people that use the chorus mode.
@@NobodyNewsNetworkActually most of the people use the chorus and not the vibrato.
We're all here for the Trower sound 😀
Ill stick with a Deja Vibe. Sounds decent tho.
Does whatever’s in the loop baypass when the on/off button is pushed?
So the pedal and it’s loop FX turn on and off simultaneously?
Pat Travers in a box! Nice!
RJ, Did you mod the 60´s Fender Vintera? Looks like it, with a different neck.
Great sound… but off topic…. Where did you get that hat? My friend wants one like that. He used to own one back in the day.
How would you compare it to the Deja-Vibe or Unicorn? I’m trying to decide between those 3
What did you end up getting?
Sounds great, but $449(!) OUCH!

Holy sh*t
which one is better, this one or crazy tube circuits sidekick ?
I usually have uni vibe and reverb at opposite ends of my signal chain.
Why does the reverb cut abruptly ? weird choice if its by design...
WAIT, he recorded this with a two notes?
Sounds more like a phaser. In that price range buy yourself a Sabbadius Funky-Vibe and be done forever with your search.
$449.00... 😨😨😨
They should sell about 3 or 4 of these. UniVibe is always near the beginning of my chain. It makes zero sense to design one with reverb...
That's why it has an effects loop, so you can put all your other effects pedals in between.
@@philmagallanes3850 I don’t think most people will sacrifice superior stand-alone reverbs for the one in this pedal
Agree 100%

What an odd combination.
