The NUX Voodoo Vibe (NCH-3) is a compact, mini Uni-Vibe pedal that captures the iconic, swirling, psychedelic modulation of the classic 1960s/70s Dunlop Uni-Vibe—famous for Jimi Hendrix's mind-bending tones—while adding modern twists in a tiny, pedalboard-saving enclosure.
Inspired by the legendary rotating speaker effect, it delivers that huge, immersive 3D sound with warbly pitch shifts and lush swirling textures. Unlike the original (which needed 18V), the Voodoo Vibe runs happily on standard 9V power thanks to NUX's clever DSP tech, blending analog warmth with digital precision for low noise, zero latency, and no volume drop issues in chorus mode.
It features two switchable modes in one box:
- Vibe mode — Classic Uni-Vibe swirl with that signature throbbing, phase-y vibrato (perfect for Hendrix-style bends, psychedelic rock, or funky swells).
- Chorus mode — A smoother, enhanced chorus variation with shimmering depth—great for cleaner, more modern textures or subtle movement.
Switch modes easily by pressing and holding the footswitch. Smart tap tempo lets you sync the speed to your playing (tap the switch repeatedly), and it supports stereo I/O via TRS cable for wide, immersive soundscapes.
Simple, intuitive controls (all three knobs work in both modes):
- Speed — Dial in slow, dreamy sweeps or fast, shimmery pulses.
- Intensity — Controls the depth of modulation (from subtle warble to full-on psychedelic chew).
- Volume — Balances output level to avoid boosts/dips.
Key highlights:
- Analog dry signal path for pristine tone and ultra-low noise.
- True bypass (or buffered options in some setups).
- Low power draw (<100mA) — easy on your power supply.
- Rugged mini chassis (94 x 51 x 53mm, ~175g) in that signature red finish.
- USB port for potential firmware updates.
- High specs: 48kHz/32-bit DSP, 103dB dynamic range, 1MΩ input impedance.
