Unit67 Earned "Premier Gear" Badge in Premier Guitar's Review

DryBell Unit67 guitar pedal earned Premier Guitar's “Premier Gear” badge

“The real power and elegance of the Unit67 is in how seamlessly and forgivingly its component parts work together—particularly in performance and studio situations where changing backlines and room dynamics challenge what you thought you knew about your rig. In scenarios like these, where economy of effort and pedal count can make life and music-making much simpler, the Unit67 is sweet medicine.”

Unit67 Received Guitar Magazine’s “Editor's Choice” Badge

DryBell Unit67 earned Guitar Magazine’s “Editor’s Choice” badge

With sustain set to maximum, this is not one of those subtle compressors where you find yourself glancing furtively at the LED to check it’s on. Strummed chords have their transients ruthlessly crushed, replaced by seemingly eternal sustain, while single notes are sweetly thickened and get just a hint of a thump to the attack.

Unit67 In Focus Review by Distortion LTD

Distortion LTD In Focus review of DryBell Unit67 guitar pedal

DryBell’s Unit67 isn’t just another pedal, it’s several pedals working with one another to provide you with the slickest tone on planet Earth!  Under the hood, the Unit67 serves up three separate circuits – a tunable boost, a clever EQ section and a 1176-style compression circuit. Each circuit cascades into one another for maximum efficiency, with expert voicings for each.

Unit67’s Review from Grand Guitars Magazine

Unit67’s In-depth Review on Bass Guitar by CompressorPedalReviews.com

CompressorPedalReviews.com review of the DryBell Unit67 guitar pedal on bass guitar

I do think the Unit67 would make for a fantastic boost pedal for somebody wanting a fat punch through the mix type option. Another great use would be placing it front of a tube amp to add a little more character and “sparkle”, shall we say. I bet putting the Unit67 in front of your OD or muff pedal with a bit of mids and compression would sound awesome!

Unit67: Andy Martin's Top 5 Bass Guitar Pedal Pick (Reverb)

Andy Martin of Reverb reviews the DryBell Unit67 on bass guitar

And here’s the great thing about the Unit67 with bass—it just tightens everything up without being overly compressed, and you can take the EQ in and out” with the EQ switch – Andy says.

DryBell Unit67 guitar pedal featured at Delicious Audio

Up until 2019, Croatian manufacturer DryBell has been very focused on building the best possible Uni-Vibe pedal recreations. Everything changed today, with the release of their first non-vibe product called Unit67, a utility pedal that – knowing the company’s designing rigor – promises to be a very useful and great sounding tool.

Unit67 Review by Pedal of the Day

DryBell Unit67 guitar pedal review by Pedal of the Day

The DryBell Unit67 EQ Boost Compressor is the perfect combination of three key effects, all working in perfect synergy to give you “that sound” you’ve been searching for. Whether you’re playing loud rock and roll, quiet jazz or big, sustained blues, this pedal makes your guitar and amp absolutely sing. We love it so much that it instantly found its way right onto our demo pedalboard, making everything else around it sounds just that much better.

Find out what folks from Pedal of the Day think of the Unit67.

Unit67’s In-Depth Review by Bonedo

DryBell Unit67 and Module 4 guitar pedals review by Bonedo

The Unit67 turns out to be an all-purpose weapon for any kind of tone shaping in front of the amp and scores above all as a transparent booster with enormous gain reserves. The active EQ section can also have a lasting effect on the sound and with the range potentiometer you also have an excellent-sounding treble booster on board. The quite simply designed compressor/limiter section is rather narrow with fixed settings for attack and release, but that doesn’t change the fact that you really don’t want to switch off the Unit67 anymore.

Whitford’s pedalboard is populated by a number of interesting effects. For drive and compression, there’s a silver Klon Centaur and the “always on” DryBell Unit67, which is essentially a classic 1176 Compressor in stompbox format.

Take a look at Brad Whitford’s main pedalboard, showcasing the Unit67.

Pete Thorn on Unit67: Rig Rundown’s by Premier Guitar and Guitarguitar

Pete Thorn is a long time DryBell Unit67 guitar pedal user

Unit67 from DryBell is an awesome pedal, a really unique compressor, boost, EQ and it’s just a cool front end for the guitar sound! They’ve taken two classic guitar effects, 1176 style of compression and an EQ specifically with a Rangemaster style Boost and combined them into one pedal. It’s not something I would have thought of that would have been cool or would have worked, but boy does it ever work and it sure is fun and super addictive to play! I’m gonna be getting a lot of use out of this! It’s a secret sauce magic always on kind of thing.

Unit67’s Stunning Review by Bjørn Riis from Gilmourish

Gilmourish's review of the DryBell Unit67 guitar pedal

Unit67 In fact is probably one of my favorite pedals, which is a huge kudos I guess as it’s been out for only a couple of months. It’s really one of those pedals you just want to leave on all the time and as much as I’ve said that before about other pedals, this is really one you want to leave on all the time!
