The TC Electronic Viscous Vibe Guitar Effects Pedal combines old analogue warmth with modern-day functionality. The analogue being chorus and vibrato and the modern being the Tone-Print feature, a feature that allows you 'Beam' signature effects to your pedal.
The Viscius Vibe is a 1:1 recreation of the original Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe. This chorus and vibrato pedal was used by many revolutionary guitarists such as David Gilmore, Robin Trower and Jimi Hendrix. This recreation was achieved by pushing the Viscious Vibe's powerful DSP to its very limits. Now you have recreations of the legendary 'phasey' goodness and thick dramatic swirls that only the original Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe could achieve.
You get all this in a highly functional and compact design. The simple layout makes this pedal super simple to use. With the Speed knob, you can dial it to go from a lush warm sound to a full-on intense and mind bending classic rock tones. The Intensity knob allows you to go from wide warbles to syrupy sweet swirls in an instant. The Volume controls the overall mix of the Vibe effect and your dry tone. Turn it up to get full on Hendrix tones or turn it down for those glorious Gilmour sounds. A simple flick of the Mini-Toggle allows you to go between the chorus, vibrato and TonePrint effects.
TonePrint allows you to upload basic sounds and effects from some of the greatest guitarists in the world today, straight to your pedal. Using your smartphone, you simply download the app, choose what setting you want to use, follow the instructions on the app, and now you have a signature effect that you can modify and play about with on your effects pedal.
The Viscous Vibe has true or buffered bypass that ensures zero tone coloration, letting your tone shine through with no loss of high-end. Also with analogue dry through, the Viscious Vibe lets your guitars original signal pass without converting to digital. This keeps every nuance of your tone intact and ensures zero latency. This pedal gives you the option of using mono, or stereo I/O for an ultra-wide sonic perspective.
