Like virtually every guitarist around the globe, including the majority of Music Experience’s 6-stringers, the minds at NUX are inspired by the performance panache of the one and only Jimi Hendrix. The NUX Voodoo Vibe pedal channels the penchant for innovation and expression pioneered by the late legend through the 1960s, supplying multimode vibrato and chorus effects that simulate the effect of a physically rotating speaker. The Voodoo Vibe’s onboard DSP utilizes NUX’s advanced sonic technologies to produce immense and immersive three-dimensional sound fields, with the I/O’s stereo-compatible TRS connections allowing you to summit daring heights of evocative space-shaping possibilities. What’s more, this digital dynamism allows the footswitch to function as a Tap Tempo to dial in the perfect amount of synchronization to suit your sound. When operating as a vibrato, the pedal’s Intensity control attenuates the degree of pitch modulation, while its Chorus-mode equivalent increases the depth of its sweeping sonics. The Speed control, on the other hand, moves from slow and undulating to rapid-fire shimmering depth, as you move clockwise. The pedal’s dual-mode architecture extends beyond its Vibrato-Chorus capabilities, as the dry signal features a true analog circuit, not only reducing noise and achieving near-zero latency, but also augmenting the sonic control afforded by the switchable true and buffered bypass operation. With an included power supply and support for battery-powered operation, the NUX Voodoo Vibe is a pocket-sized powerhouse that delivers a wealth of studio-to-stage performance possibilities, inspired by one of the greatest to ever do it.

What NUX Says...

The timeless Uni-Vibe delivered its huge 3D sound by simulating the physical rotating speaker effect. The Voodoo Vibe (NCH-3) is a mini Uni-vibe pedal with 2 different modes, Vibe and Chorus. You can switch modes by press and holding the footswitch.

Gorgeous Sound

Voodoo Vibe was inspired by the Dunlop® Uni-Vibe® for its gorgeous sound easily associated with Hendrix’s bending facial expressions in his 60s stage performances. NUX’s modern-tech DSP yields a perfect combination of both worlds: analog and digital. Unlike the original Uni-vibe, now you can power the Voodoo Vibe with 9V instead of 18V. Using DSP technology, NUX is able to offer a mini pedal with Smart Tap Tempo function. And it’s easier to enhance the Chorus mode without volume drop issues in the digital world, while still retaining the same good vibes and 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, sweep effects. At higher settings (clockwise), it will produce a rapid, shimmery pulse.

Mini but mighty!

It also supports Stereo input & output (Use 1/4” TRS cable, and choose Stereo mode). A USB-C port is provided for occasional firmware updates. Connect the USB cable to a PC and hold the footswitch to boot-up the device and to enter the DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. Once connected you can do firmware updates using DFU updater software. You can download the related firmware and firmware update guide from the product page.
