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. Compact pedalboard-friendly format: A refined, space-saving evolution of the ER-2 design that fits neatly onto modern boards.

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. Some designs use analogue bucket-brigade circuits, while others use DSP and presets. Check mono compatibility and headroom if the pedal will sit after drives or before a mixer.

Tags

Analogue

Uses continuous analogue circuitry for some or all of the audio path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. Check the exact signal path.

Vibrato

Modulates pitch above and below the played note without the dry/modulated mixture that creates chorus. Rate, depth, waveform and delay-line character determine whether the motion is a gentle instability, pronounced wobble or tape-like drift.
