Overview
Voodoo Vibe (NCH-3) is a mini Uni-vibe pedal with 2 different modes including Vibe and Chorus. You can switch the modes by tapping the tap switch. Old- school Uni-vibe delivered its huge 3D sound by simulating the physical Rotating Speaker Effect, that beautiful and unforgettable sound easily associated with Hendrix’s bending facial expressions in his 70s stage performances. Voodoo Vibe was inspired by Dunlop® Uni-Vibe® for its gorgeous sound. NUX’s modern-tech DSP yields a perfect combination of both worlds: analog and digital. Unlike the original Uni-vibe, now you can feed Voodoo Vibe with 9V instead of 18V. Using DSP technology, NUX is able to offer a mini- pedal with a Smart Tap Tempo function. And it’s easier to enhance the Chorus mode without volume drop issues in the digital world and keep the same good vibes as analog sound.
Adjust the Intensity knob first
In Chorus mode, it will change the depth of the sweeping effect. In Vibrato
mode, it will change the degree of pitch modulation.
Adjust the Speed knob last
At lower settings (counterclockwise), it will produce slow, sweeping effects.
At higher settings (clockwise), it will produce rapid, shimmery pulsing.
