Here's what JHS say about the Unicorn V2
In 2015 we brought you the Unicorn V1 …the world's first bulb-driven photocell modulator with tap tempo…our very own Uni-Vibe if you will. This Spring 2018 we are proud to bring you the Unicorn V2!
Pink Floyd’s “Breathe,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Star Spangled Banner live at Woodstock 1969," and Robin Trower’s “Bridge of Sighs” cemented the sound of a photocell-based vibe effect as an electric guitar standard. The JHS Pedals Unicorn is our version of this heralded effect, continuing the inspiring modulation/phasing/rotary sounds that never fail to push musical boundaries.
Just like the originals, we included a toggle for choosing between a Uni-Vibe* effect and a traditional vibrato setting. What sets Unicorn apart from all other vibe-style circuits is that it is the first-ever fully analog, photocell-based vibe with tap tempo as well as ratio, external tap control, and external rate control via expression pedal (optional). And the Unicorn does it all with only four knobs and a mini-toggle switch. In a day and age when everything has been seen and done, we bring you the first-ever, 100% analog vibe photocell modulator with onboard tap tempo. You’re welcome.
Sounds as good as you remember
The Unicorn is bursting with all the lush and washy pulsations that changed what the electric guitar could sound like in the 1960s. And this is no digital emulation. The Unicorn sports the real-deal, analog photocell topology of the original units.
– Sounds like the originals because it’s built like the originals
– All-analog signal path delivers a warm, touch-sensitive tone
– Dry/Wet toggle selects between a Uni-Vibe* and vibrato effect
In-depth tempo control
There are other analog vibe pedals and there are pedals with tap-tempo control, but – if we’re allowed to gloat for a second – the JHS Unicorn is the first to put ‘em together. Add optional external speed control and a ratio knob that determines the rhythmic subdivisions – or as we like to say, how much fairy dust enters into the flux capacitor of the Unicorn – and you have one of the most versatile vibe pedals on the market.
– Control the rate of the effect with the Speed knob or onboard tap-tempo footswitch
– Want quarter note, dotted eighth, or triplet rhythms? They’re all found on the Ratio knob
– LED indicator notifies you of the effect’s tempo, even when disengaged
External tempo and expression control
But wait, there’s more! One of the things that makes the vintage Shin-ei* Uni-Vibes* so desirable is your ability to control the effect’s rate in real time with an external expression pedal. How could we not include that!? And to go one step further, you can slave the pedal to other tap-co

Analog
Analog effects pedals use traditional circuitry, typically built with transistors, capacitors, and resistors, to shape and modify a guitar’s signal without digital processing. Known for their warm, natural, and organic sound, analog pedals are favoured by many musicians for their rich harmonic response and smooth dynamic range. Unlike digital pedals, which process audio using algorithms, analog pedals maintain a continuous signal flow, preserving the instrument’s natural character.
Classic analog effects include overdrive, fuzz, phaser, chorus, and delay pedals, with legendary models like the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, MXR Phase 90, and Boss DM-2 Delay standing the test of time. While digital pedals offer versatility and precision, analog pedals are prized for their warmth and simplicity, making them a staple in many guitarists’ pedalboards.

Pedals
Guitar pedals, also known as stompboxes, are external effects units that modify a guitar’s signal when activated. They come in various types, including distortion, overdrive, delay, reverb, modulation, EQ, compression, and synth effects, each shaping the tone in different ways. Pedals are typically placed on a pedalboard and powered by batteries or an external power supply. They can be connected in series for a custom signal chain, allowing guitarists to create unique sounds. Popular pedal brands include Boss, Electro-Harmonix, Strymon, MXR, and EarthQuaker Devices, offering effects for every genre, from blues and rock to ambient and experimental music.
Tap
A tap pedal, often called a tap tempo pedal, allows musicians to manually set the tempo or speed of certain effects, such as delay or modulation, by tapping the pedal in time with the music. This feature is particularly useful for live performances, where the tempo of a song may change or the musician needs to sync their effects to the rhythm of the music on the fly.
Tap tempo pedals typically have a footswitch that responds to the musician’s taps, calculating the tempo based on the rhythm. This makes it easier to adjust effects like delay or chorus without needing to manually adjust settings or rely on preset tempos. Many modern delay, reverb, and modulation pedals from brands like Boss, TC Electronic, and Line 6 include a tap tempo feature, enhancing flexibility and control during performances.
Tempo
v2
V2 stands for Version 2, meaning an updated or improved version of an existing pedal. Manufacturers release V2 models when they refine the circuit, add new features, improve build quality, or enhance performance based on user feedback.
For example, the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi V2 had circuit changes compared to the original, and Strymon released V2 versions of their pedals with MIDI capabilities and upgraded DSP.If
you’re looking at a pedal labeled V2, it means it’s a newer revision with some level of improvement over the first version.
