Strymon UltraViolet Vintage Vibe Pedal (Demo Deal)

The legendary Shine-ei Uni-Vibe pedal is one of the most idiosyncratic guitar effects ever made, a swooshing, otherworldly tone loved by Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour among other guitar legends. The Strymon UltraViolet Vintage Vibe Pedal faithfully recreates the iconic UniVibe sound in a modern and versatile pedal design, opening the creative floodgates for a new generation of players.

CLASSIC VIBE TONES

The specially crafted algorithm at the heart of the Strymon UltraViolet nails every woosh, swell, and quirk that made the UniVibe so recognizable. But the UltraViolet doesn’t stop there. The Bias switch lets you shift the center-point of the pedal’s LFO sweep, which is meant to reflect the slight tonal differences between the first-gen UniVibes. Whether you like your vibe slightly dark and pulsating, smooth and bright, or somewhere right in the middle, the UltraVibe has you covered.

DIAL IN THE PERFECT VIBE SOUND

The UltraViolet sports a three-knob control scheme—Speed, Intensity, and Volume—directly inspired by the original UniVibe, along with some modern quality-of-life upgrades. The Intensity control offers an expanded LFO control range at slower speeds for greater sensitivity and a cleaner end-to-end sweep, while the Volume control provides a baseline 4 dB boost for greater presence and chunkier lead tones. Plus, the Mode switch lets you further uncover the UltraViolet’s range by adjusting the wet/dry mix for a more chorus-forward sound, a phase-y vibrato tone, or a special blend crafted specifically for the UltraViolet.

STEREO AND MIDI FRIENDLY

The UltraViolet supports mono, mono-to-stereo, and full stereo (via TRS cables) I/O routing to suit any signal chain. The pedal also has an EXP/MIDI input for full MIDI implementation with 300 available preset locations or hands-free control via an expression pedal. No matter what setup you have, the Strymon UltraViolet is ready to bring endless vibes into the mix. Check one out for yourself today to embark on a new sonic journey.
