Members Porkchop Xpress Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 For a couple of years I have love the Provibe in my Captain Coconut 2. I recently got my Fulltone Deja Vibe 2 fixed and the vibe sounds are perfect. I hate to say this, but I like the sound better than the Provibe. The problem is, I don't want to get rid of either. I put a 220V transformer in the DV2 with the intent to sell it here in the UK, but it just has that "magical" sound to it. I think I'm going to sell the DV2 because we are leaving the UK next year and I won't be able to use it anyways, but I feel like I'm going to miss the hell out of it. What should I do?

(if you don't mind me asking) No, I actually live in Suffolk right now. Not sure where I'm moving to yet. Maybe the States or maybe back to the Pacific like Guam or Okinawa.

Members jay3265E Posted April 24, 2008 Members Share Posted April 24, 2008 Keep the CC2. It's a better investment and has other top quality effects in the unit. Plus I'm a Foxrox junkie so you should be one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jay3265E Posted April 24, 2008 Members Share Posted April 24, 2008 Keep the CC2. It's a better investment... I don't want to sound like an a$$hole by saying this. All that I mean is it is now worth a lot more money than a DV2. You could likely afford a DV2 in the States easier than the CC2 if you decide down the road you want both again.

Members darryl2112 Posted April 24, 2008 Members Share Posted April 24, 2008 Foxrox all the way!!!!!!!!! I have a gold Deja.....plus some other vibe rips.....but the Coconut I borrowed to record with last year still haunts my dreams........I have tweaked that trimpot in my deja all day long and still haven't come near what that provibe could do........you could sell the deja and get fox's new Aquavibe!!

Members Porkchop Xpress Posted April 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2008 volume 4'oclock width 10'oclock center 11' o clock speed 10 o clock Hey Kabong, Thanks for those settings. I re-attacked the vibes today. Your center position was the key to getting what I wanted to hear. I am using an exp pedal, so the speed wasn't an issue. Where you have the Center position gives that slightly off balance pulse that I was looking for. I had it at about 1:00 instead of 11:00 and I didn't realize it was pulsing in the wrong direction, if you know what I mean. I was also running the level lower. I had the width in about the same place, but there is a definite sweet spot right around 10:30/11:00. The Provibe definitely got a better run through when A/B'd with the DV2. When my amp is pushed harder and/or I am running any dirt/OD/Fuzz into them the Provibe really shines through. The DV2 sounds EXTREMELY sweet, but can get a little knifey in the high registers. The Provibe runs bassy until it is pushed, then it tends to even out and really shine. Don't get me wrong, I still love the sound of the DV2 and for "modern vibe tones" it is great. I don't feel so bad about selling it now though. Thanks man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EL KABONG Posted April 26, 2008 Members Share Posted April 26, 2008 glad i could be of some help fwiw i do find myself missing the Deja vibe 2 a lot lately its really kind of funny. I had the distortion side of my fulltone gt500 (i think trower uses one now) pushing the provibe the other night and it was really sweet causing me to do trower faces at some points.

Members deanmartin Posted April 26, 2008 Members Share Posted April 26, 2008 Trower does not use a GT-500. He also sounds pretty good with his Deja2. I think the Aquavibe is an improvement over the vibe in the CC-2. I got 2 KR Megavibes that kill and an Effectrode Tube Vibe that smokes.
