Too Rolling Stoned (NGD)

The KR Mega Vibe was an excellent Vibe.
The Sabbadius and the R Weaver Vibes sound a bit more like the original Univibe, IMO. The Mega Vibe was a bit darker. Wish I still had my old one.

Quite a few people was saying the opposite -

I have one, I'm thinking now about selling it to you

In this I can hear the KR doesn't sound like the original. There's something missing which the Sabbadius or R. Weaver have.
The KR is a great Vibe, just lacking in something the originals had.
I had 2 or 3 of them (Mega Vibe), including a one-off Mega- Vibe (Jax Vibra- Chorus) Kevin built that also featured a Tremolo function.
He never asked or wanted it back. I wound up selling it for over $700 years ago.

I played a Trower strat years ago and what a killer guitar it was! Congrats for the new killer Strat, Carl.

Carl, what do you think is the best sounding vibe with the smallest housing? I've settled on the Fulltone Deja Mini, which sounds decent, but the speeds seem off. I have the speed knob almost all the way down to get into slow Trower-throb territory.

One time I was buying something from him and he accidentally sent me someone else's order, it had 3 pedals in there, none of which I ordered. He contacted me frantically, I said casually, yeah I sold those already, he starts freaking out. I had to write him back, after having him sit with that for a bit, I said no, I'm just kidding I'll send 'em back. He sent me the right thing after that. Ha.

Yeah, I agree, the Mega-Vibe doesn't sound like the original... It sounds better

I had and I wish I still have the Fulltone Mini Deja-Vibe, that was a good vibe

It all depends what you like. There are no best in my opinion. Some sound amazing, some sound like the old vintage ones.
I had three original Univox Univibes, so I’m kind of partial to that old sound.

You are the man, when it comes to vibes. That's for sure. Let's call it vibe-maxxing, well you're like that with all your other gear too though so...gear-maxxing, I don't know. Ha.
Either way, you are the man

My favorites are the Sweetsound MOJO Vibe and the Fulltone Mini.

But I can get by with the NUX Voodoo Vibe and the Digitech Ventura Vibe.

I didn't like the Formula B Vintage Vibe or the Drybell Vibe machine. They just sound "weird" to my ears...

Here is a old clip using the Mojo Vibe:



Here is a more recent clip using the NUX Voodoo vibe:

 

[VonBonfire]

but I have to say that the Blues Joliet pedal I picked up quickly became one of my favorites.

I'd love to hear some of your clips of that pedal sometime.

Man I gotta get back to recording stuff. Last track I recorded was a few months ago now for a Podcast intro theme. I have speaker shootouts and all sorts....ugh thanks for the kick!
