For $69 its a shocking unit that's hard to believe its a Behringer that you can buy for this money. Yes just £60. The maker has always been a 'budget' or cheap bottom end maker - but if you try this one out you really will be shocked about it. Let's see exactly how good or bad it really is.
Prepare to be amazed by this $69 Behringer unit that replicates the iconic Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe pedal. A shocking find for any guitarist or pedal enthusiast!

Hendrix and the Shin Ei UniVibe are forever linked in history and particularly with the Band of Gypsies 'Machine Gun'. If you look for a real Shin Ei UniVibe they sell for thousands so maybe not look for one!
But Behringer, often seen as a low cost 'budget' brand where I come from has created a 69 Vibe pedal that bucks the trend. I have used many different UniVibe pedals over the years and there are lots of differences, but this one sounds like a winner.
In this close up inside and out review of the 69 Vibe I also show a couple of other UniVibe pedals - the Dunlop that is now discontinued as it cost more to make than to sell! and another from River-Rat that is worth a look.
Both UniVibe pedals show one format internally as to how they work, but the Behringer in this case uses a different idea to get the result - and from what I have seen it works really well.
I also show all controls, and even show a control pedal that you can buy cheaply from another company that works well.
You can even buy this 69 Vibe pedal for as low as £49.00 in the UK - I show a link to Andertons but its available from most music stores. It's going to be a big seller!
Even the casing of the 69 Vibe is metal and so strong... and I guarantee that if you watch this review that you will learn something (If only how not to play a Strat :)
This is a completely not sponsored review inside and out and this really is a REAL REVIEW - there's none of those shenanigans where the words are not mine!
