Electronic Orange Moon-Vibe MkII review

[@gregcouch2525]

David Gilmour is definitely one of my favorite guitar players of all time! That being said...your reviews are among the best anywhere! Your tone is always spot-on. Keep those videos coming!

[@mca1960]

Excellent job, dude. You nail the sound of Gilmour exactly, even those short piece of the travel sequence. I know this sequence from the video of making the dark side of the moon.

[@gilmourishofficial]

Michael Achenbach Thanks!

[@MrEstpas71]

Wow Bjorn...absolutely a great review and an even better tone. I think you're even able to let Berhinger sound awsome! It's in the fingers. You really nailed Dave's tone!

[@danielhaas6804]

Awesome Bjorn. Keep on doing what you do, you inspire me as a huge Gilmour fan I am. Many thanks!

[@CristiNeagu]

Great reviews, but still wishing Gilmourish would have a tab section...

[@cosmosismentoring]

Wow Bjorn. Your playing has gone up a level lately.... something quite magical there mate

[@PrehistoricBeasts]

On every review, in my opinion, your tone is better than the one on the recording. And now this Time solo, where you insert your own little notes based on live recordings, amazed me like the original solo did when I first heard it.

[@josephlopez3773]

Time to get one like yesterda, definitely has that Gilmourish sound.

[@kquat7899]

That sunface sounds huge.

[@whitewizzardllc2348]

Currently comparing one of these to a maxon rotary phaser ph-350. It’s good. I still think the maxon has something in the top end I prefer and just a little extra magic. I know the maxon is technically a rotary phaser but it’s also a photocell unit and on faster settings it is very similar. The maxon just has a little more goodness. Another pedal that does the fast thing well is the Diamond Tremolo (also has photo cell) . I have yet to play a Strymon Lex, and I own Volante and Deco. I do think if any modern company can nail the photocell sound it’s Strymon so I look forward to playing one. All these photocell based phase/uni type pedals have a lot of similarities in tone and feel. It’s down to minor aspects of voicings etc. It does sound similar to Dark Side Uni sound( though I think Bjornes overall tone and attention to detail in his gear/rig and very in-depth study of how to play it also has something to do with that) Overall it’s a cool pedal but I’m not sure I would rank it above some other Uni style pedals I have heard and played. But it’s solid and good. As always YMMV

[@LucaTirinnanzi]

Great playing Bjorn!!! And really cool stuff from electronic orange!

[@josephlopez3773]

That's pretty dam Gilmourish, that's 4 surish🎸🎼

[@coldwar1977]

gorgeous sound!

[@ilredeldeserto]

which one to choose: Electronic Orange MoonVibe MkII, Dry Bell Vibe Machine V-2 or Effectrode Tube-Vibe ?

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Awesome Pedal -it's Definitely ( either ) this-one, or the Drybell Vibe Machine, ( which I own ). You can Not Go Wrong with either one. ( trust me ) . Both are Authentic Sounding & Phenomenal Univibe Pedals. I was torn between these 2, before I made my difficult decision. - Michael Caz - NYC -

[@GNeuman]

Brilliant, simply brilliant review and playing!

[@ThomasIzold]

when i listen us and them makes me transport across the univese

[@VicençPalancaCuñat]

Que trasparencia😮

[@morganmetzger5832]

Can you get the "Have a Cigar" rotary effect from this well? I watched you use a rotovibe. I want to have less pedals if possible. Not aiming for both.

[@gilmourishofficial]

I'd rather go for a phaser to cover both UniVibe and phaser. A UniVibe doesn't do phaser tones that well.

[@MarkLeonTanner]

The box is amazing... But you could plug this dude into peavey bandit and he would sound great

[@dianathompson7597]

Hay my first amp,, they did sound good

[@gilmourishofficial]

Thank you!

[@F3FisGoodforYou]

Awesome... I wish I would've keep my 57 strat...

[@dianathompson7597]

Indonesia is making good strat right now. My 70's is a great guitar. You would have to play one to believe it.

[@Teleman76]

Nice Bjorn! Where would this pedal go in the signal chain? After dirt, before delay? Please advise.

[@gilmourishofficial]

Gary Jarvis I like UniVibes and phasers before any dirt pedals. Others prefer them after.

[@GaryAndrewLaw]

Hi Bjorn. As this is now a pretty old unit I was wondering if you still think it's the best recommendation for vibe sounds.

[@gilmourishofficial]

It's definitely one of my favourites. It has a very warm and creamy sound and the symertry control allow you to tailor the tone to your pickups and amp. Check out the Vibe Machine from DryBell as well. The MkIII sounds really great.

[@GaryAndrewLaw]

@@gilmourishofficial Thanks. I revisited the Vibe Machine and listened to the new one. It does sound even better now that they have tweaked the frequencies. I bought it. Thank you for all your lovely Gilmour resources.

[@JAFOpty]

Loved the review. What is the song during the intro?

[@grerknroll]

us and them

[@JAFOpty]

Fluke Grerkchai I mean the one before Us and Them...at the very beginning of the vid 0 10

[@grerknroll]

JAFOpty oh sorry man I didn't see it hmm I don't know but I believe that would be some of David Gilmour song,

[@panagiotis.tsiatsis]

Hi Bjorn! I guess the moonvibe is placed before the sunface during the last segment where you re playing Time, is that right? Thank you!

[@gilmourishofficial]

Yep. I always keep UniVibes and phasers before dirt. Sounds better that way.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

If I want one pedal to cover all modulation for Gilmour tones, would I be better off getting this pedal or a phaser pedal?

[@gilmourishofficial]

I don't think you can have just one pedal that does it all because David used pretty much everything and for certain periods - flanger, chorus, phaser and UniVibe. Now, phaser and UniVibe is somewhat overlapping and so is flanger and chorus but you probably want to check out a multi unit that can cover all four sounds.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Thanks right now I have delay and fuzz covered so will look into phaser and flanger pedals since I am learning songs from WYWH, Animals and the Wall and not the older stuff.

[@LysanderLH]

I'll swap you my wife for this pedal. She's French and doesn't eat much.

[@karlwilson1304]

Would you recommend this or the MJM Sixties Vibe Classic? I'm having a hard time choosing between the two.

[@gilmourishofficial]

Both sound great. This one's a tad darker and works better for high speed settings so I think I'd go for this one.

[@karlwilson1304]

gilmourish riis great, thank you!

[@dianathompson7597]

@@gilmourishofficial I was just noticing how good this sounds fast. Most can't do that well.

[@les7118]

Which will be better for Gilmour late 70s - 80s tones? This one or msr 90 phase? In some cases mxr sounds better in my opinion.

[@gilmourishofficial]

Phaser or UniVibe for Dark Side and WYWH. Flanger or chorus for 80s tones.

[@les7118]

Which overdrive or fuzz do you use after the Moonvibe?

[@PinkFloyd793]

Where the hell can you buy this pedal? I can't seem to find it anywhere

[@gilmourishofficial]

It's only available through their web site I think Electronic Orange.

[@organjoe]

What does the mode switch do? Thanks

[@gilmourishofficial]

Switches between Univibe or phasing and vibrato.

[@organjoe]

@@gilmourishofficial Awesome - thanks, your vids are great!

[@giovanninichetti4193]

Very nice tone! Do you prefer this one or the Drybell Vibe Machine? The Moon Vibe seems a little bit darker while thr Vibe Machibe seems brighter but also has a sound more like a phaser than an univibe (maybe because of my computer speakers)... In your opinion wich one is the best to be paired with a Big Muff (Costalab Custom Muff) but also with a Butler Tube Driver?

[@gilmourishofficial]

+Giovanni Bongiovanni Nichetti Depends on your amp but I think the MoonVibe is the most Gilmourish between them.

[@giovanninichetti4193]

My amp is a Pevaey Classic 30 :) I like 'em both but I don't know wich one would pair with my amp better! What do you think? :)

[@gilmourishofficial]

+Giovanni Bongiovanni Nichetti I'd go for the MoonVibe. Goes well with the fairly bright sounding C30.

[@giovanninichetti4193]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@giovanninichetti4193]

Ah! Other question by a friend of mine who has a Hiwatt Custom 50, so a slightly dark amp with a lot of midrange... In that case you would prefer the brighter Vibe Machine?

[@bruce0079]

Electric Orange MkII or Drybell Vibe Machine V2?

[@gilmourishofficial]

I love both. The EO is slightly darker and I guess works better with gain effects. The DryBell is smaller, obviously, and has a slightly more open tone.

[@bruce0079]

gilmourish riis Thanks, Bjorn. Id buy the moon vibe if i could find one. will probably go drybell v2

[@Malvezzi87]

"The Travel Section" wow connoisseurs stuff :)

[@chrisendemann4251]

Anyone here as reckless with their money as me and considering getting Effectrode's Tube Vibe? I'm pretty torn between that option and the Electric Orange Moon Vibe. Moon Vibe is cheaper. Tube Vibe has tubes. Not sure anything will beat the sound of tubes.

[@gilmourishofficial]

IMO the Tube Vibe sound more like a phaser. It's got an amazing tone but if you want something more "authentic" towards that classic UniVibe tone, I'd check out the Moon Vibe or the Macine Vibe.

[@chrisendemann4251]

@@gilmourishofficial thanks for the reply! This was helpful. I just pulled the trigger on the Tube Vibe :D. Couldn't resist the tubes. Should sound amazing through my Fender Deluxe Reverb + telecaster.

[@OffshoreOffice]

Wow.

[@barneyrubble8255]

I had one, sold it when i saw a univibe on ebay for 500 canadian dollars.

[@barneyrubble8255]

Yeah, still have it.

[@barneyrubble8255]

@tony It didnt have a fuse so guy didnt know if it worked, wasnt a guitar player, he tried to get a fuse at the local music store, and they didnt know what kind of fuse it took, so he just wanted to get rid of it. Sold it saying he doesnt know if it works or not, hence the low price, I got lucky

[@jimivibes609]

Very good. Check my vibe sounds if you want, I use a #korg and mojo

Want!

[@ilredeldeserto]

incredible pedal but 24V is really a problem to aliment!!!

[@OffshoreOffice]

Fucking bad ass!

[@kommi1974]

Fan-fucking-tastic!

[@danpeabody5687]

The tone sounds good. The suggestion to Nail Gilmour's sound a little bit more play less notes and use more hand or finger vibrato. He's not that busy and he's more soulful kind of like BB King's tone. He says a lot with fewer notes. And uses his Grammy bar a lot but subtly not trying to be critical helpful

[@gilmourishofficial]

Thank you!
