UNI-VIBE- NUX Voodoo Vibe ... unexpectectly great !!! unexpectively bad !!!!

 NUX| VOODOO VIBE 

$80.00 USD

The original Uni-Vibe was meant to sound like a Leslie with it's rotating drum over  15" speaker and rotating  high frequency metal horn. It failed. You could get a Chorus like Vibrato effect or a weird modulation we identify as the Uni-Vibe sound. Kind of a chorus but more discordant in a good way.

Used as a Chorus substitute was merely OK but with it's Un-Vibe effect
sound if carefully tuned and pushed with a Fuzz especially a Fuzz Face it was killer. When I say carefully tuned in I mean it. move the knobs slightly the wrong way you get Sci-Fi sound effects. Maybe OK for half a minute but not to play chords behind the vocals.

MXR own the brand name and make a standard B size pedal that they carefully copied 

the sound right down to the semi unusable knobs. It does a crap chorus effect but the 

just right Hendrix with a Fuzz Face they totally nailed better than the many gourmet repro's at $300 plus. It sells for a $130.00 USD. I give it 12 out of 10 for it's usefulness. 

It makes any Fuzz sound killer. 

WHAT ABOUT THE NUX ???

The Hendrix like thing with the Fuzz thing is ???

The Chorus like sound is $300 plus gourmet level. I would seriously look at buying it to 

use as a Chorus. The layout is Speed, volume and intensity and a switch between 

the Uni-Vibe thing and the Vibrato which they define as Chorus. I think  

it should be called Chorus.

CONCLUSION

If you want the Hendrix/MXR thing but be prepared to wrestle 

with it. If you want an unusually sumptuous Chorus the NUX 

is it. Having both is justified. It is more like choosing an apple 

or an orange then 2 company's making the same pedal.
