The words J Rockett, Uni-Vibe and spring reverb are all saying great things to us, and the company's Uni-Verb promises to deliver the kind of vintage tone class we'd hope from the company. But after five years in development, it comes at a price.

Weighing in at £465 / $529, it's in the upper end of even a dual circuit boutique effects pedal. But is sounds so good!

History

The FX files: Uni-Vibe

The Uni-Verb is the second pedal in J-Rockett Audio Designs' Classic Series after 2021's Deluxe Memory Man-esque Clockwork Echo and aims to offer an update to the classic, original Uni-Vibe along with a simple one-knob vintage spring reverb.

A built-in FX loop allows you to separate the two sections to integrate more effectively with your other effects and even thought it's powered by 9V, it runs at 24V internally like the original Uni-Vibe.

The Chorus section allows enhanced control with Mix and Intensity too. Hendrix tones and more abound here!
