The Cornerstone Aquarium is a 100% analog Shin-Ei style Uni-Vibe. The Cornerstone Aquarium is a 100% analog Shin-Ei style Uni-Vibe. As used excessively by Hendrix & co, but without the downsides like loss of volume or affecting the bypass sounds.
\nThe Aquarium is incredibly versatile. Nothing stands in the way of experiments! As described by Cornerstone:<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/em>Vibe pedals often suck volume and get lost in a mix when engaged. That\u2019s a fact. That\u2019s why we felt the need for a master output volume to cut or boost it where necessary. Unity volume is around 55% rotation, this makes it very useful to boost the front end of the amp with the Vibe itself (highly recommended!<\/em>).<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/em>Simple yet hugely effective Tone control to balance the overall bass\/treble.
\nIn many Vibe pedals you can notice a slight \u201ctone change\u201d: your tone can often become overly \u201cdark\u201d because of the complex phase shifting effect. And especially when you put a fuzz in front, it can become muddy.
\nWith this dedicated Tone control you\u2019ll be able to resolve this.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/em>This is an idea given by some pro players in Italy which told me that while working in a professional recording Studio, with many Vibe pedals they often split their guitar signal and do parallel mixing to \u201cpreserve\u201d the integrity of the dry signal and just add a little bit of vibe on top of it. Adding our Mix control allows to do this internally within the Aquarium itself.
\nThis ability to be blend the dry signal with the wet gives a huge range of versatility.
\nMix is operational in two different ways called \u201cMix Modes<\/em>\u201d chosen by the dedicated toggle switch: \u201cB\u201d (Blend) or \u201cM\u201d (Mix):<\/p>\n\n
\nllows everything from 100% full wet effect with the knob all the way up to 100% dry with the knob fully down, and all points in-between to find your own perfect balance of sound.<\/li>\n
\nThe dry signal is always at 100% and the Mix knob just controls the volume level of the wet vibe sound added on top of it. This mode maintains all the integrity of the clean sound with its bottom end and attack, yet creates a different approach a classic vibe sound with many more subtle sound shades available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
