Classic Uni-Vibe inspired 'prototype'
Chief circuit designer Howard Gee and Nicholas Harris began working on our take on the classic Uni-Vibe about 3 years ago.
We spent many months playing various benchmark Uni-Vibe pedals. Not to mention Howard has THAT sound ingrained into his DNA.
Work continued... then about a year ago Nicholas ran into J Mascis at a Portland show, where J asked him why no other manufacturers can make a good vibe and asked that we do so.
Nicholas told J that we would, and of course we want to make sure J has the best vibe in the world. Howard also has high standards and requirements of a vibe, so the Catalinbread vibe will be released only when Howard is completely happy with our creation.
- Classic Uni-vibe inspired 'vibe'.
- Independent rate controls for chorus and vibrato modes.
- Incandescent bulb opto controlled phase shift stages.
- 'Cancel' function which allows for old school Uni-Vibe 'bypass' sounds.
- Offset knob allows control over the centre frequency of the vibe.
- Input knob enables the player to control their input impedance from traditional to high.
- Volume control.
- Intensity control.
- Expression pedal capable of controlling rates.
- Tap tempo capable.
