Inspired by NASA’s ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft, the ThorpyFX ER-2 Block 3 takes an already awesome design to new heights. Based on the much-loved ER-2 Block 2, this more pedalboard-friendly analogue modulation pedal delivers the lush, swirling Univibe tones heard on countless classic recordings, while adding even greater flexibility for players who love to explore. More vibe, more versatility The ER-2 Block 3 is ThorpyFX’s ultimate take on the iconic Univibe effect. Designed completely from the ground up, it captures the rich, organic character that made the original effect legendary and introduces a brand-new Phase switch for even greater tonal control. Alongside traditional in-phase operation, you can now switch to out-of-phase modulation, unlocking new textures and alternative depths in both the Vibe and Chorus sounds. It’s still incredibly easy to use, but under the hood lies a sophisticated all-analogue circuit designed to cover decades of classic modulation tones and beyond. Simple controls, endless inspo! The dual footswitch layout keeps everything intuitive. The one on the left selects between Chorus and Vibe modes, with Vibe mode delivering the fully wet, authentic Univibe-style experience. The right footswitch handles the pedal’s bypass operation. Intensity controls the depth of the modulation, taking you from subtle movement to dramatic swirls, while Speed adjusts the rate of the sweep from slow and atmospheric to fast and psychedelic. Offset fine-tunes the character of the modulation by altering the LFO’s ramping behaviour, allowing you to tailor the feel of the effect to your own taste. Volume lets you match or boost the effect level.Key Features All-analogue Univibe circuit: Delivers rich, organic modulation with the depth, warmth and character that made the original effect legendary. Dual footswitch design: Instantly switch between lush Chorus and authentic Vibe modes, with dedicated on/off bypass control for effortless live performance. Intensity control: Dial in everything from subtle movement and shimmer to deep, immersive Univibe modulation. Offset knob: Fine-tune the character and feel of the modulation sweep by adjusting the LFO response for a more personalised vibe. Speed dial: Take the sweep from slow, atmospheric pulses to fast, psychedelic swirls. Volume control: Balance or boost your effect level to perfectly match your rig and playing style. New Phase switch: Select between in-phase and out-of-phase operation to unlock a wider range of classic and experimental Univibe-inspired tones.

ThorpyFX
In the current JustPedals catalogue, ThorpyFX is represented by Fuzz Pedals, Overdrive Pedals and Boost Pedals. Current listings include WOPR Fuzz, Hanami Fuzz and KUDU Overdrive. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus modulation and movement. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Chorus Pedals
Chorus pedals mix the dry signal with one or more short, modulated delays to create movement, width and gentle pitch variation. Rate controls the speed of the modulation; depth controls its excursion; blend, tone and stereo routing determine how prominent the effect becomes. Slower, shallow settings can add width without obscuring the note, while deeper settings move towards a seasick or synthetic wobble. Analogue bucket-brigade and digital designs can behave differently, so check mono compatibility, headroom and the placement of the pedal after drives or before a mixer.
Tags
Analogue
Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.
Vibrato
Vibrato varies the pitch of the signal over time, unlike tremolo which varies its level. Rate controls speed; depth, waveform, mix, phase and stereo routing determine whether the result is subtle movement or a strong seasick wobble. Check whether the design is true pitch vibrato or a chorus-like blend, how it handles chords, and whether the pedal should sit before or after drive and ambience.
