it's not perfect, but it should work out for you if you go that route.

you can always get a TIP third hand if you find you need the pedal.

I have one and love it, but recently it has been crapping out on me.

I had one - but same thing as the other guy (it shit out on me after about a year). I'd say it's not worth it because a real one will last longer, and at $150 by the time you buy two you can have a real Univibe with expression (the Uni-Vibe's currently selling for like $219.99 by itself).

I have a real Uni-Vibe now and love it, though I don't use that much because it doesn't fit on my pedalboard easily -- and I have a very BIG PedalBoard 17x35 (the Uni-Vibe's a bit clunky/big with the expression pedal attached).

But here's another option - you might want look into the Line6 MM4 (I have this on my board instead).
It has the Univibe setting, along with quite a few other modulation effects -- I think it has 16 effects including: Uni-Vibe, Phase 90, Leslie 147, CE-1 Chorus, MXR Flanger, the incredibly rare Tri-Stereo Chorus, Mutron Bi-phase, and you can get an expression pedal for it (just like the real univibe).
They sell for like $249 at Guitar Center and Sam Ash, but if you talk to the right guys at GC you can get it for less - same with almost everything, including a real Uni-Vibe.
I almost always buy new gear (unless I'm specifically looking for something vintage), and I never pay retail or GLP (guaranteed lowest price), or whatever this or that store wants to call it - that's for any gear.
Take a look-see - it might be something you'll like.
Cheers . . .

here's one I've been wanting recently if you're interested.

Fairly small box, and the speed knob is on the side so you can move it with your foot easily. Saves EX pedal space.
