JHS Pedals developed the Unicorn V1 in 2015, based on the Uni-Vibe, a modulation pedal using a filament light bulb and photocell, and was the first in the world to feature tap tempo. In 2018, the long-awaited Unicorn V2 was released. Songs like Pink Floyd's Breathe, Jimi Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner performed at Woodstock in 1969, and Robin Trowers' Bridge of Sighs established this photocell-based vibe effect as a standard for electric guitar sounds. Unicorn is JHSPedals' interpretation of this pioneering effect that truly pushed musical boundaries and continues to influence many modulation, phasing, rotary sounds and more today. Like the original, this pedal features a switch that lets you select between the Uni-Vibe effect and a traditional vibrato setting. Unlike all other vibe pedals, this pedal is the first to feature a fully analog, photocell-based circuit with tap tempo control, external tap tempo input, a ratio control, and rate control via an expression pedal. The Unicorn lets you set everything with just four knobs and a mini toggle switch. In an age where everything else seems to be out there, we bring you something you've never seen before: a 100% fully analog photocell modulation pedal with tap tempo. - Reproduces the original sound by building it in the same style as the original - Full analog circuitry provides a warm, sensitive touch response tone - Dry/Wet toggle switch for switching between Uni-Vibe and vibrato effects - Internal Tap/Exp mini switch allows you to switch the mode of the Tap/Exp TRS jack - When the Tap/Exp switch is set to EXP, you can control the rate with an attached expression pedal - When the Tap/Exp switch is set to Tap Out, you can control the rate from an external source
