Since 2001, Nico Sabbadin has been building custom pedals, one at a time, in Argentina for guitarists from the likes of John Mayer, Jimmy Rip and Tyrone Vaughan. Although his Funky-Vibe has existed in some form since 2004, Nico has taken this classic recreation to the next level, taking cues from the earliest production model, the Honey Uni-Vibe. After many prototypes and tracking down the correct Matsushita transistors, photocells, capacitors and even NOS bulbs to recreate the exact waveform of this legendary effect, the Funky-Vibe oozes serious mojo. Like the original, the Chorus/Vibrato rocker switch selects between classic Hendrix swirl or subtle pitch modulation. Plus, you can choose true bypass switching or cancel, which goes back to the original footswitch that turned off the bulb but still kept your guitar running through the preamp. A custom footswitch can be ordered to control the speed of the vibe or you can follow the simple diagram provided to roll your own. Best of all, the Funky-Vibe runs on the correct 24 Vac ~ 200mA for proper vintage tone and the internal transformer will be matched to the country ordered in.

Now I want a T-shirt that says *Vibe before Fuzz* *to Enhance Throb*

[@dmthandmade5674]

Watch Etsy, my good man, because I just purloined that idea. Cheerio

[@dmthandmade5674]

I suppose you can have one for free, but you have to trust a stranger danger on the internet with your deets.

[@Dancenothing]

Orgullo Nacional, Vamos carajo! Suena increiblemente bien, nada que envidiarle a otros UniVibes de grandes marcas comerciales. Excelente trabajo.

[@furbymetal83]

Proud owner of unit #8. Adding it to my rig has rendered me unable to stop playing, just cant put the guitar down. Nicolas S. is the nicest guy, a dreamer/builder of hendrix tones, and he really loves what he does. This might be his breakthrough, I wish him all the best

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

You're one of the most entertaining players on YT. You're OG!

[@loulagro2315]

I have an outstanding original 1968 and this sounds very very close! It is the subtle things that make or break the clones. I've had most, or many, including deja vibes, drybell, effectrode, vibe unit, 60's Vibe, and many more less well known ones. Some people may like one vibe or another for one reason or another, but unless you have a really great original to A/B it against it's hard for people to know which ones are the closest to an original. The oldies handle a boost or fuzz into the front and they don't get small or overly bright. They are strong and uniform thru the frequency spectrum. The pulse or throb shape is critical and depends on the bulb and photocell's,.... how the voltage rises and falls. Some are to round and even or the throb is too pronounced. It should have an elliptical shape and be strong but not to the point of popping or thumping too loud. I'm very interested in this one!

[@AndyDemos]

Thanks for sharing those excellent points!

[@jatin7361]

This is beautiful. Great work, Sabbadius! You too, Andy!

[@Malady]

That Pink Floyd slow chorus sound!

Nothing like the real thing with only the exception of the effectod vibe and the fulltone vibes. Still want this one since I already have the fulltone v2.

La intro suena re Pappos blues

[@danicorreamusic]

Re vintage, suena barbaro.

[@jordandangelo180]

Andy that dive bomb 💣 and explosion 💥 Hendrix BOG sound effect was incredible and really spot on. was the dive bomb an open G or B string? I know you have your secrets but I’ve been after that dive bomb tone since 2003 and it was exciting to hear someone besides Hendrix finally achieve that tone! Thanks Andy and I heard a ton of awesome Electric LadyLand bootleg instrumental tones.

[@AndyDemos]

Thanks!!! I usually go with G 💣

[@nicogravina1409]

Vamos nico!!! Yo tengo un Mr. White. Tremendo!!!

[@gordontubbs]

I dislike Chorus/Vibrato but this pedal is changing my mind.

[@pmamiaro]

lo que es bueno y tiene calidad no importa de donde sea. Es decir, no mezclen patria y pedales de guitarra. El flaco labura bárbaro. Bien por el.

[@matiasechazu785]

DAMN

[@tarponwilly]

Andy, I’d like to know how you get the pedal dead silent when you turn it on. I have a Moon Vibe and there is always the throb sound when you engage it.

[@MGTO_87]

Para Fulltone que lo mira por youtube.

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

24v AC ... slam dunk! I never heard a great Vibe running on DC, let alone at 9v ... can't be done IMHO.

[@SteveMontuno]

MojoVibe is a great univibe that is 9v dc but has a built in circuit that boosts it to 18v ,,,,i'm not saying its better than these high end univibes but it sure gives a damn good BOG univibe effect.

[@MusicFed]

Voodoo Vibe. 9V. Amazing

[@Alan-su5bg]

I have a question., i can use any footswitch for this, like a modern shin ei they use for their (vibe bro and psychadelic machine)?

[@tonguepunch64]

Hey Andy, out of all the vibes you test, which do you feel is the closest to the original Shin Ei?

[@joaquinmartinez7095]

Is this pedal better than the MXR version?

New nut in the G&L? Saw your dad talking TUSQ earlier this week

Yes, good catch! TUSQ XL on anything I can put them on :)

[@reggieandrade4098]

Which version is this...68 or 69?

[@liammm7036]

How would you say this compares to other Univibe recreations on the market?

[@patrickfoster4586]

It is superior. Sabbadius does his homework and gets it right! A proper vibe must use AC, a puny 9vDC will not do the job.

[@MrKarim989]

@@patrickfoster4586 Or use 18 v

[@volodia1140]

Sabbadius vs drybell vs nuvibe...what you think?

[@jimivibes609]

Sabadius or nuvibe, I have nuvibe demos in my channel and it's pretty good

[@dapperdanman1956]

Great sounding effect: Amazon showing this at: 195$ not bad thanks andy

[@montag4516]

Besides, please consider shopping from PGS or other respectable small business's when possible, rather than mega corporate whores such as Amaz*n.

[@gregcapranica7999]

Where can I find the funky vibe? I can’t find it anywhere on the internet

Hello Greg, these are made in small batches so please contact Nico in the email in the description for availability. Thanks!

Yes i have see the sir henry and shiftee vibe sound very nice so!! But the size of the sir henry or shiftee is big than funky vibe (i think).....love my drybell for this size on my pedalboard....

I understand about pboard size.. between this and my maestro ps1a ... lol

[@jasong546]

Is that just called a G&L Legacy? The model name?

[@narrvick]

Jason Guion should be. They have a Tribute Legacy but it's a lower end model from G&L. Small shop in Fullerton Ca if you're in SoCal they love people to swing on by.

[@jasong546]

David Andrade thank you. I remember I saw him play this guitar and I think I was unable to find it with the matching headstock, something like that. I kind of forgot about it until I saw this video. I would really like to try one, as it’s a Leo guitar from after he sold the company, you know? I have not had a chance to try one. I live in FL so I sadly can’t go to visit them. Thank you for the information.

[@pitoperez3468]

A couple day some guy mocked me because I said this pedal was the real vibe and not a deja vibe 3 you know the fulltone wich is a spectacular vibe by the way jajjajaja and said I didn’t know sh@t about vibes and that robin trower was better than me and that I wasn’t sh@t jajajjaja When I didn’t even brought him into conversation jajajaj the funky vibe blows even a Nuvibe and a deja vibe and ultra vibe from sweetsound wich was my a1 but I think I’m getting a funky and that’s just by demos 👀

Dude, you aren't even close to finding the sweet spot. Turn the fckin intensity down- a LOT.

Vibe sweet spots are usually about 75%, there’s lot of that in the demo thanks!
