I don't know the status on his production but since he got sick (and has since died)
I haven't been able to get anything from bob sweet.  It just stuck me that you might be getting this off ebay, and more power to you in that respect.  However, if I were in your position, I would look at the recently released, fulltone mdv-2.

Hey Cactus, just so you know Barb at Sweet Sound is accepting orders and will send a paypal request. I just emailed her and told here what I wanted and she sent me the request. Will let you know how the delivery and sound is. I just felt better helping her out and I get what I need. That guy made some cool stuff. We should start a post and see who else has used his stuff. Would be good to get some real use reports on the various pedals he made. Sounds like she is looking for another builder to help her. Maybe someone on here can help.

I'm telling you dude, don't get the Mofaux vibe--tell Barb you changed your mind--the fulltone mdv-2 is where it's (or, will be) at.

cactus,
Thanks for the solid advice. I do appreciate it. I could always sell it on ebay if I really don't like it. I tend to use effects at very low settings, noticeable but not overpowering. The samples I heard are what made me choose, that plus the overly simple operation. If I hate it I will look at what you suggested. Are they in stores yet?

BTW this is really the only effect I would even really use from time to time as my setup is severally simple.

82 Ibanez Musician MC150 Mahogany>TU-2>TS9>Dynacomp>RV-3>Deluxe Reverb. I like phasers and such but just want something a little mellow to ad some flavor. Like a subtle vibratone where you can barely hear it.

Or ideally my favorite tone (which has probably been discussed to death already) is Treys GBOTT grinding solo tone. I don't even have a solid guess for that one, other than the leslie with something. By chance if you know that one and feel like sharing it it would be much appreciated.

Sorry to drudge up this topic once again, but I need to rescind my recommendation to get the fulltone mdv-2.  Contrary to my (then) uninformed ravings--completely unjustified, as usual--this vibe is a piece of junk.  They are ALL pieces of junk--sweetsound, fulltone, megavibe (honestly, with this last one, one has to ask oneself, 'can a retard make a uni-vibe', no unless it is corky and this guy ain't him).

Oh that sounds cool too.

Not sure if I'm going to settle for an almost Uni-vibe or a true clone.  Seems like I'd have to spend at least $200 for a good clone.

You may be interested in possibly a used deja vibe, they're pretty cheap nowadays.

I really like my Deja Vibe 2.  It's the older one and it's built like a tank.  What I like about it is I can have it be really prominent in my tone, or it can be dialed back so that it's barely noticeable, yet has a cool shimmery effect on my tone.

Guitars: Fender Clapton Strat, Ibanez AS80, Ibanez AF75, Malden Holly Keyser [SD Jazz (neck), SD '59 (bridge)], Carlo Robelli USH-500HB, Martin DC-1E ('98), and a Peavey Grind 5-string bass.

Effects in chain: Whammy II (dry out to Korg Tuner), RMC6, TS-9 ('82), TS-808 ('81), Ross Compressor, Fulltone SupaTrem, Fulltone DejaVibe2, TC Elec Nova Repeater, Ibanez Digital Modulation Delay III (DML20), Boomerang+, Alesis Microverb I, H&K Rotosphere MkII --> amps.

Amps: Mesa Boogie MkIII Blue Stripe, Egnator Rebel 20 head > Mesa Boogie Road King 2x12 cab, Fender Blues Jr. Humboldt, Marshall VS102R, Fender Champion 600, and Fender Frontman 25R.

Effects currently not in chain: Ross Compressor (MIT), Keeley Compressor (2-knob), Keeley TS-9, and TS-9 ('82).
