JHS JHS Unicorn v2 Vibe pedal with Tap-Tempo
Presenting the all-new JHS Unicorn v2 Vibe pedal with Tap-Tempo. In 2015 JHS brought you the Unicorn V1 ...the world's first bulb-driven photocell modulator with tap tempo...their very own Uni-Vibe if you will. This Spring 2018 JHS is proud to bring you the Unicorn V2! In a day and age when everything has been seen and done, JHS brings you the first-ever, 100% analog vibe photocell modulator with onboard tap tempo. You’re welcome..... Pink Floyd’s “Breathe,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Star Spangled Banner live at Woodstock 1969," and Robin Trower’s “Bridge of Sighs” cemented the sound of a photocell-based vibe effect as an electric guitar standard. The JHS Pedals Unicorn is their version of this heralded effect, continuing the inspiring modulation/phasing/rotary sounds that never fail to push musical boundaries. And just like the originals, JHS 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. 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 they are 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 JHS likes 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 found on the Ratio knobLED indicator 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 JHS 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 JHS' Panther Cub Delay, Emperor Chorus pedals) Couldn’t be easier to use One of the things JHS is 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 What's new in the V2? The original Unicorn sounds great and works perfectly, so JHS didn't change a thing about it other than: its now half the size, and its a lower price point!
