Sabbadius’ love letter to the 1969 Uni-Vibe
The Sabbadius 1969 Funky Vibe RS (Real Size) is Nico Sabbadin’s tribute to the 1969 Shin-ei Uni-Vibe.
The result of a year-long pursuit, this pedal is a 1:1 replica of the original, designed to faithfully capture its look, tone, and feel!
Built with rare and custom-made components, the Funky Vibe RS is engineered to deliver the warm, pulsating throb that defined the golden era of rock. If you're chasing a more laid back, atmospheric Vibe, this pedal is the ultimate tool to bring that sound to life!
Crafted with vintage authenticity.
At the heart of the Funky Vibe RS are components painstakingly chosen to replicate the 1969 Shin-ei Uni-Vibe.
The pedal features custom photocells, NOS 2SC828/2SC539 transistors, and an authentic 1960s/1970s Japanese bulb.
This level of craftsmanship delivers a tone so accurate, it’s as though you've stepped back in time!
Ultimate control with matching expression pedal.
The Funky Vibe RS includes a matching expression pedal, allowing you to control the speed in real time—just like the original.
Want to activate just the preamp section?
Simply rock the expression pedal back to engage the Cancel Switch, bypassing the vibe effect but leaving the preamp on.
This feature maintains the vintage tone that made the Uni-Vibe so magical!
Designed for that iconic 1969 Vibe tone!
The 1969 version of the Funky Vibe RS replicates the Shin-ei Uni-Vibe as used by Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour.
It boasts a more rounded throb and a sweeter tone, perfect for slower speeds.
You can hear this version in action on Hendrix's Machine Gun or Pink Floyd's Breathe.
This makes the 1969 version ideal for players looking to recreate the hypnotic 1960s soundscapes!
