The pedal delivers all effects in stereo, enhancing spatial depth and tonal richness 

Modulation (Uni-Vibe)

• Green Voice: Emulates the classic Uni-Vibe sound of the late 1960s, producing rich, swirling modulation 
• Red Voice: Offers a deeper, phase-forward variation, blending phaser and Uni-Vibe characteristics for a more spacey, rhythmic feel 
• Controls: Rate, depth, and vibe knobs allow precise shaping of modulation intensity, from subtle chorus-like textures to pronounced vibrato 

Overdrive

• Green Drive: Midrange-focused crunch, ideal for cutting through a band mix
• Red Drive: Smoother, rounded overdrive for expressive lead tones 
• Controls: Drive, tone, and level knobs provide familiar Tube Screamer-style adjustments, enabling dynamic touch sensitivity and tonal shaping

• Five onboard presets with additional options via Eventide Device Manager (EDM) software 
• USB connectivity for firmware updates, preset management, and MIDI setup

Performance Features

• Dedicated footswitches for Drive and Vibe sections, with the ability to swap effect order for creative routing 
• Stereo outputs enhance spatial effects and allow complex signal chain setups
