    Default Vibe pedal lovers unite!

    Who loves the Uni-vibe sound? I do! I have Cool Cat vibe coming some time soon I hope.

    I found this nice demo of a KR Megavibe. Check it out, this pedal sounds great. (Sweet Octavia tone he's getting on this clip too).

    I've just recently gotten used to playing with vibe myself.
    I have a Rotovibe, the Chicken Salad and the EX7 which is my favorite so far. It sounds like the Univibe or a chorus or just about any type of vibe you want it to.

    Is it possible to have too much vibe, to be over-vibed?

    I was going to mention my EX-7 too but I thought that'd be redundant. Since I've said it already. In the past.

    Good thing you didn't say anything about the EX-7 then. The redundancy would be awful.

    Hey. I'm sorry I mentioned the EX7 too. I really didn't mean to say anything about it. It's just that it's Pi day and I got all excited and was reminded of the swirliness of the EX7 and how it relates to the circumference of circles. I know I was being redundant. My bad.:

    I'm really not interested in discussing the EX7 any more but did anyone mention to Robert to try one out in a store? It has a real good vibe thing going for it. Did anyone mention how adjustable it is?

    What's this talk about the EX-7? I'm lost already....

    I told my guitar-store-running pal to order some in, or else! We'll see if he does. I bet I will end up with one just because guys keep mentioning this XL-14 or whatever... Oh EX-7 it was.

    I actually use a pair of Vibes on my gig board. The first in the chain is one I built and the second is a VL MicroVibe. The MV sounds good, just isn't very reliable so the next time it breaks (the third time) I'll just build another one myself to replace it.

    The one I built is bullet proof and is almost a direct clone of the original UniVibe from the 60s right down to the incandescant light bulb surrounded by high-sweep LDRs in a metal light shield. Mods I've done to the original design are true bypass, slightly higher gain to overcome the natural volume drop the originals had and careful tweaking of the bulb biasing circuit and wet-dry balance resistors (replaced them with a trimpot). Mine also has the vibe/chorus switch so I can use it either way. The Vibe half is really lopey and makes you want to play Bridge of Sighs right away. The chorus has that trademark vibe seasick pitch bend thing going on that reminds me very much of an old Magnatone vibrato. Born on the Bayou is just begging for this thing.

    I put it in an old used enclosure that has way too many holes drilled in it from other test builds so it's butt-ugly. Sounds awesome though - far better than just about anything i've tried at any store.

    Running two vibes together lets you get some really trippy sounds.

    Cheers,
    - JJ

    I have the Dunlop Univibe with the external Foot Controller. A great sounding UNIT!

    That guy in the video has a tremdously good sounding rig. Cool stuff on his board.

    I am a vibe lover, too. :

    I plan on getting an EX-7, but not to plug my guitar into. I'm gonna carry it in my pocket, 'cause I'm tired of wanting to adjust something & there's nothing around to adjust.
