Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe

Buy Now: goo.gl/L8Tppn
The Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe is a sonic replica of the original 1969 Uni-vibe which achieved legendary status on landmark recordings by Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe pedal delivers the lush, psychedelic swirl of an original Univibe, in a compact battery-operated pedal. The circuit includes the original sine-wave oscillator, incandescent lamp, and photocells to achieve the most authentic throb of any Uni-vibe clone. Best of all, it's all analog and True Bypass. Sounds astonishingly big...this elegant little box delivers a rich, bright sound that stands up to any weve heard -Guitar Player Capable of producing a more authentic tone than other Uni-vibe copies -Guitar Shop Sounds great! I use it all the time -Michael Landau

KZbin has changed quite a bit since 2009 :)

[@LucidPsychosis]

I was sold when he played the outro to "Give It Away"

[@Tigford]

Voodoo Lab tends to get overlooked. Too bad... They make some great effects for reasonable prices. I love the Sparkle Drive!

[@porchdog1961]

A direct and thoughtful demo. Thanks.

[@petecdun]

great tone, great demo

[@PutItAway101]

Another great demo, thanks.

[@gmlasam]

@ebonyepi The intro song played is called "Izabella".

[@magnustveiten]

Fantastic!!Thank you for thisfantastic demo!!!Y'ou're the man Andy:)

[@kiowabrave7]

Badass Izabella! \m/

[@s2khawk]

been on my pedalboard for over a decade..only pedal thats lasted that long. mines so old it doesn't have the LED light which I've never needed cause trust me-you know when this swirl machine is on, just an amazingly deep sounding pedal.

[@BennyHinny]

Andy rules! Launching into the solo from "Alive" at 2:55. Ha! Keep it up, man!

[@warrenmusic]

sweet tone

[@xtremehardy388]

I love the Alive solo, haha

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

I have both, it works just fine for me. Are you running the OCD first, because that will make any Vibe or phaser for that matter sound real harsh and squishy. -Andy

[@joshuadurand]

I want some Micro Vibe!

[@rhcpmd]

Give It Away yeahhh!!!

[@JimijaymesProductions]

I prefer filtering effects (phaser, flanger with lots of regen, wahs etc) before dirt in the most part and watery modulation like chorus and flanger with fast speed low regen after which is why I have Od/distortion pedals either side of my flanger and my phaser earlier on.

[@TapeMeasureandhair]

Great review again. lovin the RAGE! RATM! yes this seems very nice, but i guess it'll have to wait after the mothership

[@jnh73]

Man! 3:07 and on is worth the price of admission alone! You guys at PGS really, really have to stop making such cool sounding videos. My wife is starting to ask questions.

[@aektzis91]

bridge of sighs rendition was awesome

[@patfurlan]

It uses an incandescent lamp so the rise of the signal is faster than the fall... since thats the way the light pulses ... this gives it that realistic chewy swirl

[@Antestor]

Agreed. My OCD sounded great with a microvibe but not as good as with the mojo vibe!

[@VintageSH]

Oh Izzzaaabellllaaa ~

[@ch27192]

give it away!!

[@esara6]

Pretty BadAss" I might want one+

[@sevenswordsx7]

Pro Guitar Shop/Andy demos rule! They cause me to spend alot of moola on equipment.

[@nottubee]

Guitar Center has them on sale for about $119. I ordered one and it is not backordered. Such as life. I also have the Dunlop real Uni-Vibe. Love my toys. Have a killer day! E.C. DFW TX

[@crustifer]

Also, phasers are back/forth between different players. I prefer my phasers Pre drive for an even color sweep.

[@totalkarband]

Is the first riff Hendrix?

[@lorenzonarwhal]

Hi! I recently get a fulltone '69 and I want to use it with my Microvibe in order to recreate a sort of Hendrix sound...could you suggest me how to place and set them? I've tried a lot but I failed! =(

[@AvonJunkies]

How does this handle heavy distortion?

[@juanypei]

pearl jam! nice!

[@jazzermonk]

@blownglasslide i agree ... digital is usually convenience over quality IMO.

[@jazzermonk]

@zifirblues i know when i have a fuzz pedal and a boost pedal i have to put the fuzz first in the chain or is loses tone. Btw i prefer the vibe after the shtuff too.

[@RicardoSzabo]

@totalkarband I wanna know too.. sounds sickk

[@TaffyRaphie]

ROBIN TROWER!

[@nedmccrady1588]

the tone at 3:06 is so godly

[@algarridm]

And people like John Frusciante and Hendrix in some studio recordings use wah after fuzz :)

[@jaimedolcesinnersole]

it also has to do with wether or not there's a buffered signal..or true bypass..i find that my dunlop uni-vibe (has a buffered signal..) messes up my true bypass fuzz if i put the vibe first..so i put all (more or less..) true bypass pedals first...J

[@DJNosebleed]

Im having serious trouble choosing between this and the LovePedal Picklevibe... i know the pickle is smaller but is it me or does this sound more "true". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@kpmurphy62]

does it add gain or have a delayed start like the danelectro Cool catvibe? I know they both operate off a photo cell circuit.

[@tman5293]

What size power adapter does this pedal use?

[@mmike189o]

How would you suggest I run this pedal with my set up (ie: where should I put it)? My set up as of now is Guitar -> Fuzzface (JH-F1) -> Wah Pedal (JH-1B) -> Amp. Thanks! Nice Video!

[@NewEnglandDirtRoadie]

could you do a demo of the Micro Vibe vs the LP Pickle?

[@lorenzonarwhal]

How it's better? before or after an overdrive pedal? (I use ac booster) thanx

[@alexdldude]

Someone help me deciding which uni-vibe to buy: the T-Rex Viper, the Fulltone Mini-DejaVibe or the Dunlop one?

[@ShalomShireFarm]

Not a bad alternative to the real thing!!! Thanks for posting. :)

[@DarkAngelEU]

I'm really doubting between this one and the Malekko Vibrato... can you get the same sounds with this pedal as in the demo of the Malekko? I mean the soft chorus thingy, and the eery sounds with that Radiohead part at the end.. thanks for the good demo's anyway, hope you can reply ;)

[@markmc13]

@slashy04 The outro of give it away - rhcp

[@Gorrrz]

heeeey, izabella ^^

[@hotlanta71]

Izabella by Hendrix

[@kebekoi66]

@rjake61 Ha! Ha! That's my exact set up with a USA 1965 Fender Showman

[@TheBirdMamma]

do I hear a little "funkified" sweet leaf? at 1:56?

[@crushingoverdrive]

To avonjunkies this pedal takes heavy distortion very well. You might wanna roll the intensity a bit if you max the speed out. I set the intensity arround 9:00 and max the speed out it sounds evil

[@jordandedomusic]

I like modulation before dirt. Seems like the tone gets washed away and turns into a swirly mess with vibe or phaser after the gain source. No right or wrong, only personal preference.

[@Silencer84]

He already does that in the video, watch it....

[@jordandedomusic]

@zifirblues I much prefer the sound of modulation before gain. Especially vibes and phasers. When it's after the gain, the effect takes over the sound and tone too much and it becomes a swirling mess! Mods before gain for me.

[@44eelz]

whats a lamp and photo based circuit? they sound cheaper than digital components, does that mean i could go make my own pedal that sounds vintage too?

[@jordywilliams]

was waiting for 1:35

[@jb1563700]

Is it me or are there two different waves pulsing simultaneously, a slow one and a fast one? It's most obvious around 2:18.

[@slashy04]

whats the song at 2:00?

[@joakoPRIMUS]

it´s a modulation right?

[@JeanEstienne]

What is the first song???

[@yobhsiFehT]

@zifirblues If it "Sounds OK," then it's not wrong. That's really the only rule. However, the sound most people tend to prefer is the order you have described. So you're right and wrong:) Oh, other common exceptions would be compression and harmonizer effects. Most harmonizers track better the cleaner signal they see, and most people prefer to compress the signal before distorting it (as opposed to compressing a distorted signal).

[@MiguelBaptista1981]

mike mccready \m/

[@daneguitarist1]

pearl jam, one of the only non metal bands I listen to

[@freeheelfreestyler]

PGS, you can do better than 360p.

[@thatdude2212]

If you're looking for a better sound, cables are such a small factor it's not even worth paying 50 bucks for the planet waves. Guitars don't even put out much over 5-6kHz anyway, you're not missing much with less conductivity.

[@rjake61]

Ha! Ha! That's my exact set up with a USA Blues Deluxe. rjake

[@thmsrojo]

this or the pickle vibe?? :( There's only ten dollar difference and the pickle is on the standout stompbox. The micro is more univibe while the pickle is more phaser and unique. plus the pickle is so much smaller, geez this is a hard one

[@brianfuria6637]

it was pearl jam 'alive', not give it away...

[@blownglasslide]

Be wary of going digital to quickly. The difference between digital and analog is that computers cannot understand the concept of infinity. Therefore, a computer cannot create all of the possibilities for tonal varitation and richness that an analog effect can. As a human being, you have the ability to perceive and recognize infinity and infinite tonal possibilities. Don't let the limitations of a computer cheat you out of that unless you have no other options.

[@seansrecords]

that was give it away mate ,sorry

[@nymetsrock]

@lorenzonarwhal doesnt make a difference

[@BiggSteve777]

I didn't care for the Soul Vibe's wave form. The Micro Vibe is much smoother and more usable (in my opinion) There is a internal trimpot in the Micro Vibe that I beleieve adjusts the wave form... and you might be able to get the Soul Vibe sound

[@benjamindrurymusic]

yes you are wrong

[@TehAl3X]

...really?

[@Danthehorse]

Seems a little messy sounding, not smooth at all......
