Strymon Ultraviolet Chorus/Vibrato Vibe Pedal Overview
The Strymon Ultraviolet Chorus/Vibrato Vibe Pedal condenses authentic late '60s vibe tones into a compact stompbox and introduces modern features including presets, MIDI, stereo outputs, switchable 70/30 Blend mode and an adjustable Bias setting.
Delve into the history of vibe pedals and you’ll discover a sound palette revered by iconic guitarists — Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, and David Gilmour, to name a few. The Strymon Ultraviolet pays homage to this illustrious history, capturing this iconic tone and condensing it into a feature-rich and compact effects pedal.
Resurrecting the magic of the original Shin Ei Univibe from the late 60s with extraordinary detail and introducing new Blend and Bias features, the Ultraviolet sets a new standard for chorus/vibrato pedals in the 21st century.
Authentic Vibe Tones
Immerse your ears in the lush, resonant tones of the Ultraviolet. The Strymon engineers have replicated the complexities and character of the original components, allowing you to experience the authentic vibe sound, complete with its gooey swirls and thick low end. The premium discrete JFET analogue input preamp retains the dynamics and nuance of your tone.
Modern Features
The Strymon Ultraviolet Chorus/Vibe combines authentic tone with the versatility of a modern stompbox. Features such as full MIDI implementation, USB-C connectivity, stereo I/O and presets ensure the Ultraviolet can seamlessly integrate into a modern pedalboard.
The newly introduced Blend mode augments the traditional Chorus and Vibrato settings with a 70/30 dry/wet mix, providing a subtler layer of richness to your sound. Adjustments in Bias settings further manipulate the core characteristics of the pedal, letting you tweak the throb and growl according to your musical requirements.
Get Some Vibe
Whether you’re a guitarist captivated by the vintage aura of vibe tones or a studio engineer in search of fresh, inspiring textures, the Strymon Ultraviolet was designed with you in mind. It serves as a versatile addition to any pedalboard or studio setup, inviting you to create soundscapes that reflect your unique artistic vision.
Compact Footprint
Unlike other vintage-inspired stompboxes that can be heavy and take up a lot of valuable space on your 'board, the Strymon Ultraviolet retains the magic of its predecessors and houses it within a pedalboard-friendly footprint. Like all Strymon pedals, the Ultraviolet is as stage-ready as it is studio-worthy.
Intuitive Design
The Strymon Ultraviolet offers unparalleled ease of use, thanks to its straightforward interface. Manipulating the pedal’s features is as intuitive as it is rewarding.
