The Megavibe is modeled after an "original" 1969 Univox Uni-Vibe pedal & features the exact same authentic circuitry-100% 1969 Univox Uni-vibe solid state circuitry.The Univox Uni-Vibe originally came out on the market in 1969 as a rotating speaker simulator for electronic keyboards to simulate a rotating speaker effect. Many famous musicians like Jimi Hendrix & Robin Trower found the Univox Uni-Vibe quite adaptable when used with an electric guitar & favored for it's unique sound quality since becoming one of the most famous effects pedals on the market. Original Univox Uni-Vibes varied in sound quality do to production runs & component changes however very few vibe remakes even come close to really getting that elusive tone quality found with a top notch sounding original Univox Uni-Vibe.
If you're looking at this listing, you know what this pedal is all about - quite simply the most authentic replica of an original Uni-Vibe! Originally introduced by Shin-ei in the 1960s as a device for electronically emulating the sound of a rotating speaker cabinet, the Uni-Vibe went on to be immortalized by Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, David Gilmour and plenty more besides. Check out the comparison videos on YouTube and see if you can hear the difference! These are no longer in production and very rarely come up for sale so don't miss out. I ship internationally with full insurance.
The following is a write from the internet that Vintage Guitar® magazine did on KR Musical Purple Pedals.
Jimi Would Love 'Em!
Effects builder Kevin Randall has done his homework on what makes vintage pedals sound the way they do. But most guys who build pedals do that… right? And we all know that quite often, that “knowledge” doesn’t translate into true vintage tones.
Randall’s KR Musical Products pedals include three fuzz units (Fuzz Child, The Gypsy Fuzz, and The Doubler), a tremolo pedal called The Tremolo and the chorus/vibrato Mega Vibe. All are housed in heavy-duty aluminum chassis and sport true-bypass metal footswitches, Switchcraft chassis-mounted jacks, Alpha pots, vintage-style components, and cool purple paint!
With the exception of the Mega Vibe, they measure 21/2″ x 41/2″ x 11/2″ and physically reminded us of early DOD pedals. The Mega Vibe is housed in a notably larger chassis that measured 71/2″ x 41/2″ x 21/2″. The smaller pedals use 9-volt batteries or an adapter, while the Mega Vibe requires a 12-volt wall wart.
Randall is a big Hendrix fan (in fact, a stated goal is to “…produce pedals that honor Jimi’s legacy…”), so when we lined up our review rig, we decided to keep it simple, opting for a Fender ’62 reissue Strat and an all-tube combo.
First up was The Tremolo, which is essentially a re-creation of a vintage Tremface. It features a speed control with a fast/slow switch and a depth control. The unit produced a deep, lush effect that was smooth and rich, with a nice swirl. No choppiness here. And it was just about completely transparent, taking only a tiny bit of the sparkle out of our tone.
The Mega Vibe, which features the same circuit design as the ’69 Univox Univibe, also utilizes the same light frequency oscillator (LFO); Randall used the same incandescent lamp and four photo cells housed in a metal cover as the original Univibe. The Mega Vibe features controls for volume, intensity, speed, a chorus/vibrato switch, a footswitch with LED, and a speed/rate LED. The pedal has that authentic Univibe “underwater” tone, producing a liquid chorus effect that’s transparent and lush. We do have a nit, though – the only thing separating this unit from having all of the features of the classic Univibe is the lack of a foot pedal to control the speed.
The three fuzz pedals scored big points with their authentic tones, also. The Doubler sounds like a vintage Octavia, producing a nearly dead-on “Purple Haze” solo tone with clean attack and good sustain. The Gypsy Fuzz has the brightest, most aggressive tone of all three, almost to the level of a regular distortion pedal; definitely a usable recreation of a Fuzz Face, but a slightly smoother top-end. The Fuzz Child is the darkest-sounding of the three, and certainly sports the Big Muff tone, with loads of sustain and compressed, muffled highs.
All five KR pedals sound very authentic and are competitively priced in today’s “boutique” pedal maelstrom.
