So, I picked one of these up, a week after release. My local shop had 5 come in, and I got the last one. This pedal is way more flexible than any other vibe style effect I've tried. With bias low, depth and speed high, it gets a nice choppy trem-like effect, reminiscint of fender opto-tremolo from deluxe Reverb and others. The pedal is legit. Usually digital univibe sounds pretty fake to me, but this one has mojo. I need to find someone to lend me a drybell to shoot it out with...
Thanks for a great description. I'm curious, have you tried the JHS Unicorn? I really prefer analog stuff and I know that uses a photo cell. Really curious to compare it with this Strymon. Univibe is my favorite effect so I don't mind splurging but I can't keep using my MD-500 for Univibe, it aint right on that thing.
