Vibe 2

The Shin-ei Vibe-2 is modern recreation of legendary 1960s Uni-Vibe effect, packing all power and tone of larger Vibe-Bro into compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure measuring just 5.5 x 4.5 x 1.75 inches. Originally produced by Honey Company Limited in 1968 before company was absorbed by Shin-ei in 1969, Uni-Vibe circuit became iconic for its use by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock and throughout his later career, as well as Robin Trower's psychedelic tones on Bridge of Sighs. Vibe-2 faithfully replicates original vintage Uni-Vibe circuitry using high-quality photocells, NOS (New Old Stock) components including ultra-rare Miyama black Chorus-Vibrato switches, and high-grade carbon composition resistors. Circuit delivers characteristic heavy pulse and deep, throbbing tone of vintage units—hypnotic combination of chorus, flanger, phaser, and vibrato that creates unique psychedelic swirl impossible to replicate with other effects. Pedal features dual variable speed controls accessible via front-panel footswitch, allowing players to instantly jump between two preset speeds without bending down. Rear-mounted True Bypass/Preamp toggle switch offers choice between modern true-bypass operation or original Vibe's preamp mode, which routes signal through warm-coloring preamp circuit (with unity gain at maximum). This compact design makes Vibe-2 ideal
