I have been using the magic boy for a long time but I've grown somewhat tired of it. I recently acquired a Mofaux for the second time and just can't get what I need from it. I've had a Mojo Vibe and while nice and versatile I don't need that much invested in a vibe. My requirements - Under $200 and doesn't sound like a phaser. I need to be able to control depth, rate and volume. I'm thinking maybe the micro vibe? Anything else out there?

Which are?

 

 

 

Not much, just the switching and all the stuff that applies only if you're going to be using all of its effects (no status LEDs, no saved settings, etc,.). It shouldn't be that bad if you just keep it on the Uni-Vibe model. Other than that, it is kind of a big pedal.. It would be a whole lot easier to use if you keep it in a TB loop, but of course, that adds another pedal to your board.

That's what I thought. Other that its goofy switching its one of the better sounding and versatile pedals I've heard. :thu:

vibe is denitely an effect I can't go cheap on

sometimes I just have to have that sound

and if I can't get exactly what I want out of it, I'm very unhappy


I had no choice but to blow too much dough on a mojo vibe

and I've been happy ever since

 

 

i agree, vibe,fuzz, and wah are pedals you shouldnt skimp on.

I agree that you shouldn't skimp on a vibe.

 

i absolutely love my Retroman Ubervibe. it's not as complicated a pedal as it looks!

used Deja or for $45-85 more you could get a KR Megavibe.
:cool:

I just ordered a MegaVibe tonight because....

My original Univibe a Shin ???? something was a weak pimp :cry:

Dunlop Reissue, weak pimp :cry:

Ultra Vibe, better but we are still not underwater :cry:

Tube-Vibe, sweet but still no H2o :cry:

This is the last vibe I am buying :mad:

 

NOTE:All vibes will have a bigger swoosh/throb if you run a clean boost into them and drive the front end a bit.

exactly

you wanted a vibe b/c you love that sound

anything less is a waste of time

I applaud your tenacity

good luck, hopefully you'll be satisfied this time

I really like my Danelectro Chicken Salad (it's even got real photocells). Has a very, nicely balanced throb/phase "ratio" (I guess that'd be the right word).

 

It can do a LOT of things the KR can, but it doesn't sound too good with fuzz. The KR works wonderfully anywhere in the chain, and if you like fuzz, you'll definitely find that the KR is meant to be played with a fuzz. It makes everything sound thicker and can do all those underwater phasing, seasick pitchshifting, and "Jimi who?" throbs.

 

My 2 cents.
