I hope Korg make more guitar effects, they've been on a roll with old school analog synths.

oh shiii so many waveform sliders they should have called this shit the crave case

[skullservant]

wow that rules. I'm so glad these companies are bringing back stuff that actually ruled

[Gone Fission]

Interested despite the horrible demo.

[Chankgeez]

OK, then I won't listen to that demo, but the pedal looks nice.

[Bread Knife]

That looks expensive. And pretty rad.

499 EUR
Wow, i would go with a Castledine Supra Vibe with this price...

Hmmm..

It doesn't have photocells/bulbs!

I just checked the official blurb. I quote, "The CdS photoresistor that lies at the heart of the sound is simulated by an original circuit using transistors"*. What?!

What sort of univibe is that!? What a load of b*llshit.

The Uni-Vibe is an early phase shifter. You can do phase shifting with optoelectronics, but there are other ways to skin the cat. By the description, they didn't just use the simplest alternate circuit but threw some effort at having the new circuit reliably behave like the old. Truth be told, some of the design might be labor saving, so that testing is a simple pass/fail and hand-trimming the circuit is unnecessary.
