Thanks guys! Love my Fulltone Deja-vibe MKII. Set the speed almost dead slow to get a beautiful, syrupy sound. It has an expression pedal input to control the speed as well. I put my fuzz before my UniVibe, but I put my overdrives after the UniVibe. Just how I like it. All configurations have their puts and takes. :-)

I've owned a bunch of vibes over the years... Micro Vibe, Jimi Zero, Deja Vibe, Vibe Machine V2... They are all great in their own ways but I always felt like I had to tweak and tweak and they never quite did what I wanted them to do. This past year I pulled the trigger on a Funky Vibe (Tiny '68 version). It is an expensive pedal but sometimes you just have to go for THE ONE, rather than spending the same amount chasing the tones with other pedals. It's got the mojo, it's perfect for me.

I agree with the tweaking bit . I’ve just set my Drybell v2 back to default settings and watched RJ’s demo of it from 4 years ago .. he nails it tbh .. But I am saving for the Sabaddius Funky ‘68 . Thought I’d go for the larger one as it has the preamp . Correct me if I’m wrong if your version has it also .. thanks- happy playing 😊
@bumblefritz2 ай бұрын
@@Raff654 Yes, the Tiny Vibe also has the same pre-amp capabilities, so you can use it with or without the vibe effect on. I will say. The Drybell retains the deep effect a little better on low speed settings. The Sabbadius still sounds great slow but when the speed is really low the effect isn't quite as prominent and you may have to dial the intensity up. The Drybell really hits hard anywhere... The Sabbadius really nails "the sound." That combination of the double-pulse and swirly, churning sound. I just found it a touch more finicky. I wouldn't recommend against it because it's really perfect in most applications. Which version in particular were you looking at getting?

If those guys tweaked the Drybell, they would be singing another tune. I owned a couple PE Vibe Units (Bob Sweet) sounded great. I just sold my second Vibe Unit that sounded great on clean guitar. It had good warble. I also had a couple other vibes, the Microvibe and the MJM. But, that Drybell... I got the Drybell. I played it out of the box and wondered if I made a bad decision... so I tweaked the trimpots and got it matching my vintage styled Vibe Units- with more bite. It’s pretty righteous. The trimpots put the Vibe Machine ahead of all those other pedals. Pedal guys- if you dug into the trimpots on the drybell, you would have been WAY impressed.

I purchased the Drybell Vibe machine v2. I was able to dial in a Vintage tone very similar to the Vibe Unit. The tweakable trim pots are awesome. You can get all the vibe tones out of it. I do think there the Vibe Unit may have sounded better on clean guitar tones, but I am sure I can dial it in further. The Drybell sounds great into a dirt pedal. I really think that the Drybell is more versatile than the other pedals and can get “the” sound. The trimpots do a lot, After all the vibe pedals I’ve owned, I think the Drybell is going to stay. It sounds great on single note lines especially.

Beautiful sounds and awesome looking guitar too! Is that RJ's or yours Brett? I can't think of a single pedal that is so closely associated with the sound of a particular artist. For me, I hear this effect and I instantly think of Hendrix or Trower. There's also really tasty vibe used by Audley Freed on the second Cry of Love album too.

Ive had vibes going back to the early 70's. The Deja-vibe is the new staple. Ive had a Vibemachine as well but accidentally left it on over a weekend and when I got back to it on Monday it was weakened to the point of death. Dont know what that says about them but that's what happened.

Microvibe is decent for the money. Seems to be a lot of people’s ‘gateway vibe’. I modded mine and it sounds much better. Did Wampler’s volume mod and speed mod. I also replaced the LDRs, changed the input resistor to brighten it up, put a light shield, and added a offset bias trimpot inside to fine tune it. It doesn’t have the same preamp as the original and it runs on 9v unlike the original so it will never sound like the real deal.

Hey Brett! I’m bored in quarantine and looking to change things up. What’s your favorite guitar pick?
@BrettPapa4 жыл бұрын
I usually use the Tortex Flow picks. The yellow ones although Jeff McErlain turned me on to these and I cant remember the name of them for the life of me but they were just a touch bigger than jazz 3 picks. I think they are black rain or black ice or something like that.

Test out an original Shin-ei Univibe vs a new Shin-ei Vibe Bro, vs Effectrode Tube Vibe, vs the other most authentic sounding ones.. We all want to get the tone Jimi had with his original Shin-ei.. So test these and see which is the best. No cheapio ones for budget.. just the best ones.

I have the Drybell v1(red) and its the best vibe I've heard. It can get nice and chewy and gets that double throb when maxed. Do those other pedals have actual photo cells? The Vibe Machine does therefore creating the best original "Univibe" sound. In my opinion of course. All those pedals are great!

It depends on what you mean by photo cells. The original has a simple low voltage light bulb, surrounded by 4 LDR´s in a small reflective box. LDR means Light Dependent Resistors. And as with many other devices they don´t make the original type anymore.

Cooool ... I’m the first to comment. Dunlop wins, purely for the foot control, and bargain price. I did prefer the effect of the Sabbadius, but UK prices seem to be around £500 SECOND HAND. For that I would expect Hendrix’s ghost to teach me a few licks (not that he could be any better at teaching guitar than you, Papastache...)

Hi papastache After hearing your demos, I’ve just bought the Electroharmonix Good Vibes. No, you didn’t include it, but it is cheap (£110) and easily available in the UK. It doesn’t sound too bad compared to the more expensive ones - my playing skill (or lack of) is the limiting factor.
