Strymon UltraViolet Vintage Vibe Chorus & Vibrato Pedal
Strymon UltraViolet Vintage Vibe Chorus & Vibrato Pedal – Much more than a re-creation of the legendary Uni-Vibe effect, Strymon’s UltraViolet Vintage Vibe chorus and vibrato pedal elevates classic rock’s most psychedelic effect with a significantly enhanced control section and modernized features. This pedal starts with an extraordinarily precise digital replica of the original Uni-Vibe’s Chorus and Vibrato modes, then ups the ante with a more subtle Blend mode — a 70/30 split of your dry/wet signal, as opposed to the 50/50 split of Chorus mode. Speed, Intensity, and Volume significantly increase your ability to sculpt and shape Uni-Vibe tones to your liking. Meanwhile, Strymon’s addition of a 3-position Bias switch drastically alters the UltraViolet’s voice by modifying the center frequency of the effect’s sweep. You also get all the cutting-edge benefits inherent to Strymon’s compact pedal lineup, including full MIDI implementation, a premium discrete analog input preamp, 300 presets, USB-C, and mono/stereo operation. Compact, versatile, and beaming with vintage-accurate swirl — Strymon’s UltraViolet is a must-have pedal for any Uni-Vibe fanatic.

Two vintage-accurate modes and an all-new Blend setting
Like the original unit of inspiration, the UltraViolet sports a Chorus and a Vibrato mode, modeled after the original Uni-Vibe. Strymon also includes an all-new “Blend” mode that produces a subtler effect.
- Chorus mode: This setting supplies the legendary swirl effect so famously used by guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour. Essentially, chorus mode mixes your dry signal with a phase-shifted signal, resulting in funky asymmetrical phase-shifting tones. Despite its name, “Chorus” mode doesn’t exactly sound like any traditional chorus effect — the name is primarily a tribute to the Chorus/Vibrato switch found on the original Uni-Vibe.
- Vibrato mode: When you set UltraViolet to Vibrato mode, you’ll revel in a seasick 100% wet haze. From a slight pulse of pitch to warped psychedelic madness, Vibrato mode offers a truly dazzling array of sonic possibilities.
- Blend mode: A bold new addition to the Uni-Vibe formula, Blend mode replaces the 50/50 mix of the dry/phase chorus signal with a 70/30 mix. The result? A more subtle sound that guitarists find is just a tad more versatile than Chorus mode.
Pedalboard-friendly enclosure
While the UltraViolet may clock in at a significantly smaller size than your typical Strymon box, this pedal boasts the same world-class build and industry-defining tone as any of its full-size Strymon siblings. A discrete JFET analog front end, stereo input/output, and full MIDI functionality allow the UltraViolet to hang with any top-end delay pedal on the market. Next, an electromechanical relay-switched true bypass operation delivers a 100% uncolored signal when the pedal is not in use. Lastly, the UltraViolet grants you access to full MIDI and USB functionality for remote control via your DAW or controller, with 300 MIDI preset locations available to save your favorite settings.
