Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

KZbin has changed quite a bit since 2009 :)

[@Tigford]

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

[@LucidPsychosis]

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

[@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

[@porchdog1961]

A direct and thoughtful demo. Thanks.

[@gmlasam]

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

[@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!

[@kiowabrave7]

Badass Izabella! \m/

[@totalkarband]

Is the first riff Hendrix?

[@petecdun]

great tone, great demo

[@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.

[@magnustveiten]

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

[@xtremehardy388]

I love the Alive solo, haha

[@PutItAway101]

Another great demo, thanks.

[@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

[@warrenmusic]

sweet tone

[@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!

[@joshuadurand]

I want some Micro Vibe!

[@crustifer]

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

[@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! =(

[@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.

[@TheBirdMamma]

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

[@AvonJunkies]

How does this handle heavy distortion?

[@rhcpmd]

Give It Away yeahhh!!!

[@sevenswordsx7]

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

[@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 ;)

[@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?

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@aektzis91]

bridge of sighs rendition was awesome

[@NewEnglandDirtRoadie]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@JeanEstienne]

What is the first song???

[@joakoPRIMUS]

it´s a modulation right?

[@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.

[@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. :)

[@TapeMeasureandhair]

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

[@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 :)

[@tman5293]

What size power adapter does this pedal use?

[@jazzermonk]

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

[@TaffyRaphie]

ROBIN TROWER!

[@RicardoSzabo]

@totalkarband I wanna know too.. sounds sickk

[@lorenzonarwhal]

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

[@hotlanta71]

Izabella by Hendrix

[@slashy04]

whats the song at 2:00?

[@VintageSH]

Oh Izzzaaabellllaaa ~

[@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

[@markmc13]

@slashy04 The outro of give it away - rhcp

[@esara6]

Pretty BadAss" I might want one+

[@juanypei]

pearl jam! nice!

[@Gorrrz]

heeeey, izabella ^^

[@freeheelfreestyler]

PGS, you can do better than 360p.

[@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

[@Silencer84]

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

[@daneguitarist1]

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

[@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.

[@ch27192]

give it away!!

[@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.

[@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).

[@jordywilliams]

was waiting for 1:35

[@kebekoi66]

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

[@MiguelBaptista1981]

mike mccready \m/

[@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

[@brianfuria6637]

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

[@seansrecords]

that was give it away mate ,sorry

[@nymetsrock]

@lorenzonarwhal doesnt make a difference

[@rjake61]

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

[@TehAl3X]

...really?

[@benjamindrurymusic]

yes you are wrong

[@Danthehorse]

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