True bypass, small
footprint, huge sound...
The MOST ACCURATE and righteous Uni-Vibe sounds to
be had in a package this size. Half the size of the next largest
authentic sounding Vibe pedal. This is not a copy of the Uni-Vibe
circuit, but rather a unique approach to generating those same lush
swirling tones. Speed control on the outside with a large knob so
you can turn it with your foot, intensity trim pot on the inside.
The trim is a very sensitive adjustment, but once you get it dialed
in to taste it's set it and forget it.
The whole point of this unit is simplicity...
Lovepedal wanted to create some type of vibish movement like the uni-vibe
without cloning the actual uni-vibe circuit and it had to run off a
9 volt battery.. The uni-vibe circuit has already been done very
well in the Mojo and Deja vibe units that are currently on the
market... Why do what has already been done?
The result is the right size, sound and price for
this unit as is.. This is unique because??
Many people that want this type of sound, hardly
ever use it enough to warrant the extras...
To add more features like AC tap LED status,
external depth control would triple the time per build and price...
Even just adding an AC tap just wouldn't be worth it... So,
Lovepedal concentrated on sound, size, price and simplicity...
Operation:
This unit utilizes a mechanical true-bypass
switching system.. ALWAYS engage then disengage the bypass switch
before operation to avoid a loud popping noise at first. It only
happens once at fire up so make sure you do this to discharge the
capacitors in the circuit.
There are 2 adjustments with this unit. The external
adjustment is the speed control, which is intentionally THE biggest
knob Lovepedal could find, so you can adjust the speed of the unit
with your foot at any time. The other control is inside. It's blue,
it is a trimmer pot that you can turn to make the vibe swing
different, become brighter or have more throb, suck. You can even
make it all go away or have just a touch of vibe. Find something you
like...
