Members phishmarisol Posted January 20, 2007 Members Share Posted January 20, 2007 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?

Members Last Nerve Posted January 20, 2007 Members Share Posted January 20, 2007 You could probably find a used Fulltone Mini Deja for that price.It really is a nice pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilbo26 Posted January 20, 2007 Members Share Posted January 20, 2007 The only vibe I've heard that I liked as much as the Foxrox Provibe was an original Fulltone Deja Vibe, so I would look at the Fulltone units first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members comfortablynumb Posted January 20, 2007 Members Share Posted January 20, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevieRaveOn68 Posted January 20, 2007 Members Share Posted January 20, 2007 used Deja or for $45-85 more you could get a KR Megavibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other that its goofy switching its one of the better sounding and versatile pedals I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StratStevo Posted January 20, 2007 Members Share Posted January 20, 2007 used Deja or for $45-85 more you could get a KR Megavibe. I just ordered a MegaVibe tonight because.... My original Univibe a Shin ???? something was a weak pimp Dunlop Reissue, weak pimp Ultra Vibe, better but we are still not underwater Tube-Vibe, sweet but still no H2o This is the last vibe I am buying NOTE:All vibes will have a bigger swoosh/throb if you run a clean boost into them and drive the front end a bit.

Members Medication Posted January 20, 2007 Members Share Posted January 20, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
