It's been awhile since i've ran a modulation pedal, and i'd like to give a vibe pedal a try. I've seen the deja vibe by fulltone go for $180ish, but I'm interested in what other models are out there.

Thanks... my query was based more off of personal opinions.
I think the Dunlop Univibe is a great choice or the Dunlop Rotovibe!!!

I like how you can hook up an exp pedal to the uni-vibe! I was checking out the micro vibe by VL or the Soul Vibe by BBE. I might want to spring for the deja vibe too.. DAMN too many!
That website is awesome. So many options out there to chose from. The thing i like the most is how if you choose a Effect type it narrows it down to if its in a Rack Unit or if its a pedal and even if its a foot controlled item. No better place to go to see if its on Ebay as well

Yeah its got a bunch of categories you can choose from, so many to choose from - I thought this would be easy.
I had a fulltone Mini Deja Vibe, I really liked it, great tone and such, but in the end I sold it since I tend to use trem/phase/ and chorus a lot more... for similar effects.
I own the Deja Vibe 2 (the big one with built in expression pedal). I love it! But truth be told, I took it out of my chain once I got the Supa Trem. Lately I've been thinking about putting it back in my chain, as it can be very subtle and used as a tone enhancer. I would almost recommend getting the mini dejavibe because those big knobs are easier to adjust with your toe than trying to leave the expression pedal in a certain desired position. Just my opinion, I imagine that the tone of the mini is the same as my older vibe 2, but I sometimes found it difficult to find the desired spot to leave the expression pedal at and lift my foot without my toe or heel nudging it from where I want it set.

Hmm good to know.. did the Mini Deja Vibe do a good "machine gun" tone in terms of the vibe.

I just saw some videos on the Dunlop Univibe. It seems to be the closest the the actual vintage Univibe and I guess you could say close to Trey's Black Cat Vibe. Anyway it seems like it would be a nice addition to my Christmas wish list. If anyone can state that they think there is a better Univibe pedal out there as far as replicating the desired tone, I want to know about it. ;D

I went with a Micro Vibe from Voodoo Labs, replicates the circuit of the original vibe and there may be a little volume drop but nothing too terrible. I can make you a video if you would like of a demo of the Micro Vibe.

I've got plenty of time on thursday! Will get it onto youtube for you then. The VL Micro Vibes can be found for around 80 on the used market, GC used section gives you a 30 day or so if you don't like it.
I checkout out some Micro Vibe videos and it seems good. Also on the price low end is the Lovepedal Pickle Vibe but sounds great too. Hmmm.

I owned a pickle vibe for a few months, and its a decent pedal which held it's value through my ownership, I sold it for the MV. Reason being for me was that it only has a speed knob, although there's an internal trim pot for intensity inside the unit. It also didn't get very intense, the effect was quite subtle when the trip pot was maxed out. Also, its an emulation of the circuit- no photocell bulb, meaning the pickle vibe is essentially a phaser. A good effect - yes. I just wanted big knobs for the feet.

Hook me up ;)
For great sound and a simple one knob pedal I would say check out the Sweet Sound MoFaux Vibe. I have had a few of these and have settled on an older black one. The new ones come in white. It sounds basically the same as thier larger MoJo Vibe but is more of a set it and forget it type pedal. It has an internal trim pot that helps a bit for fine tuning. I put a Fulltone style large knob on mine and can control with my foot. Very easy and sounds just perfect. Same size as a small MXR box as well. Can be found between $120-$200 even though it is possible to get a new one direct from Barb (Bob Sweets wife) if you can actually get a hold of her. Also available on a few websites including Analogman.
For the price its worth a try, as it will easily keep its resale value.
Sweet! pun intended... I didn't know those pedals can still be obtained. I saw Analogman had one for auction a while back. Is there only a handful left or does someone still make them for the Sweet business? I wonder.
You can buy them from Sweet Sound. I am looking for a vibe with a smaller footprint, perhaps I may get a Pickle Vibe.

Here's my Micro Vibe demo! Sorry about the delay.
I just bought one of those black case Mofaux vibes. I'll let ya know how I like it.

There is a trim pot on the inside that is useful ONLY if your absolutely not getting the sound you want. These vibes tend to sound best at all settings below 2pm (on the external dial) unless you like the fast rate craziness. If for any reason if you decide to adjust the trim pot, note the exact original position first for reference as its hard to see. As I recall the best adjustment is actually counter clockwise in the smallest amount possible. The total range of adjustment is not much but if you get it wrong it makes it sound like crap. (ie it will get thinner sounding and more phasery)
Great pedal, just don't overdo any internal adjustments. I have been testing this alongside a Fulltone Deja Vibe and the MoFaux sounds really great to me. The Deja has some more adjustments however. Just put a larger round knob on the MoFaux so you can adjust with your foot. Simple and takes up a really small footprint.
BTW, Sweet Sound did make a Pro level half rack vibe just like the Black Cat. Have never seen one for sale however.
