That was a really really well executed shoot out. Thanks for that. The Deja-Vibe for me. The Viscous vibe second.

Deja Vibe to my ears is the winner! Most authentic...

Just the no talking is A+, and the rest is bonus! Many many thanks!

Excellent vid, same settings, same riff and no talking. Good help in deciding which to choose.

that tc is so good and the deja vibe is legend wow

awesome demo, and great choice of vibes. I have been curious about a few of them.

I m bias, cause I have the depths by earthquaker on my board. I find it works as chorus, slight phaser, and univibe. I love it

This is one of the best pedal comparison videos I've ever seen. Both thorough and utilitarian. Thanks for that! Cheers 🤘😷

Nice tone you have there, and really well played. Thanks for a good demo.

This one is a very good and informative review, thank you!

The TCE ViscousVibe and the Fulltone Deja-Vibe have that crungy whirl of the Hendrix/Trower sound. The others sound good, but the TCE ViscousVibe takes the cake.

Que bien grabado está. Muchas gracias

Viscous Vibe: Dark, heavy throb. Digital, not photocell. No EXP jack. MXR Uni-Vibe: Noticeably glassy highs. Unicorn v2: Very mid-rangey and aggressive. Has tap tempo and subdivisions control. Retro Vibe: Subtle and round. Kind of a delicate sound. The Depths: Noticeably balanced after fuzz. No Vibrato mode or EXP jack. Mini Deja Vibe Mk. II: Robust-sounding, yet nuanced throb.

I use a Voodoo Labs Microvibe and i love it - lush and rich...

Love the depths!

Viscous Vibe and Deja Vibe hands down

I have the fulltone Deja vibe and Electro Harmonix good Vibes both very Authentic

Bro! Finally a demo in my stye🌭👅👍

Excellent Video Guitar Bonedo Thank You !

Ah thanks for this demo... shopping for Vibes and the Kingtone seems to be two units in one w ramping capabilities and pedal board friendly as well...Ah so it wasn't in this demo but these sure sound good So I'm thinking there has been a bunch of vibes since this came out Maybe a follow up ?

Would you be able to test the new EHX Eddy Chorus/Vibrato pedal? Your demos are excellent.

The Viscous Vibe is the best of all! Sounds Great!

I bought the MXR by Dunlop do to price and availability , i use an OCD pedal , a Clapton Strat , a 65 Fender Deluxe reverb amp and I can sound like Trower or Hendrix . Well Pretty Much

TC electronics = sound + character. The best one to my style

With the TC and MXR up front, and the legit lamp vibes later, you can hear the basic difference between sims and the real thing.The Depths is known for being different, with a cleaner EQ ,and lack of some of the syrupy pulse. Lovepedal make a decent photo cell that is def a contender.The Unicorn is one of the few legit Vibes that can be found under $300.

What is the intro pedal(s). Exactly the sound i’m looking for

I have the Deja Vibe and the Depths both. Anyone that has not tried out The Depths pedal should give it a try, you can do more with it than just use it as a vibe pedal. It’s actually quite fun to use once you understand the controls.

Which Viscous toneprint was used?

Love that first riff, Just ordered the JHS, sounds a little trebly but my amp is pretty dark so maybe it will balance itself out

I have the JHS, but I have to admit the Fulltone is it! I can see why he puts it last for us to listen to!

The tc and fulltone then mrx

Can you compare these to the new Uni-Verb by JRockett pedals? Need an honest assessment.

I own/owned 3 of these pedals: MXR, Viscous Vibe & The Depths. The Depths is currently on my board as it sounds much closer to a Univibe because of the photocell inside and it handles dirt very well. The Viscous Vibe is a good digital vibe and the toneprint opens up an array of different options which makes it versatile. But the MXR I ended up selling because it sounded like a very bad phaser when in hi-gain/distortion and almost useless if not in clean.

Did you know that Shin-ei is making them again? The original ones that Jimi used. Not in Japan anymore, here in the US in Austin Texas. They make the Vibe Bro and Vibe 2. How about testing them out against these? Seems not many know that Shin-ei is around again.

nice intro!

I have the MXR and it just doesn’t really have as much oomph and wobble as I would like. I was surprised the Jam and Fulltone didn’t blow me away like I thought they would. I really dug the T. C. That thing was pretty epic to my taste in Univibe sounds.

Would love a shootout between the JHS unicorn and Drybell vibe machine. Currently stuck between these two 🤷‍♂️

The first is the best!

MXR needed the "DEPTH" turned up higher and the speed a little lower. It sounds a lot better than it was represented in this video.

Deja Vibe sounds most authentic

Amazingly, the MXR is about the cheapest pedal in this comparison, and sounds the best. I've had the TC, way too fast without a toneprint. The Earthquaker just didn't cut through the mix, also too many controls. I would like to try the Fulltone, though here its been dialed in faster than the others.

I've owned many univibe pedals. My favorite is the Jam Pedals Retro Vibe mk.2, which is the one in this demo. It has an internal trem pot that controls how intense the effect is. From barley there to Hendrix/Trower style heave univibe sound.

The Fulltone Deja Vibe it's hand made and 100% Era Correct sounds incredible

Am I crazy or does the Unicorn sound fuller/have more deep end in person? It sounds pretty thin in the video

Most of them don't sound like a univibe, only the Fulltone has that soupyness. Would be nice to see this again with the Vibe Machine V2, Foxrox and Moen Jimi Nova vs the Korg Reissue.

Which pedal was used for the intro? To my ears it sounded the best.

I don't understand why the dejavibe was twice as fast as the rest of the pack. not a very apples to apples comparison to me

Look at the classic amplification cv2 good pedal

Hello backing track please thanks for vids

Whelp, lots to say...... I guess first, never listen to one KZfaq video demo to make a decision...... listen to lots of them. Some people's playing style suit different nuances in the vibe genre and it can be confusing. Second, many people commenting have never actually had the opportunity to play and hear an original Univibe and so the conversation gets really varied. Some people like more treble, or this or that, or they get stuck on an idea or a name like one of the early boutique clones ..... Fulltone, Mojotone, Sweet Sound etc etc. ...... I have been lucky to own for many years an outstanding, really strong sounding 1969 original Shin Ei Univibe and I have had most of the clones along the years. Starting with a Deja Vibe, serial number under #75! It was great very Trower and phasey but not as much Machine Gun. .... Subsequent Deja's just were missing something..... Great but not quite there. Cut to the chase, for years the best I've had was a MJM Custom Shop 60's Vibe, . ... side by side VERY close to my original. A builder has to source out and use some key NOS components to get there. Currently I must say that the top of the heap is the JAM PEDALS Retrovibe! I don't know what they're doing there in Greece but this guy has nailed the sound, the vibe, the swing, and throb. So many over accentuate the throb when you turn up the depth to the point where it's too hard of a thump. It's over compensation for something lacking. A killer UniVibe sound is SO nuanced that it's insane. That's why so many people continue to try. A good one sounds Big and deep, without sounding overdone. Open and dynamic. So many clones sound really clever but small and narrow especially with drive. My original when hit with a fuzz or drive stays big and open. It's uncanny, and it's the difference.

YOU ARE MISSING ONE OF THE BEST EVER MADE...THE SWEET SOUND ULTRA VIBE!!!

Jam Pedals Retrovibe v2 and v3 are utterly extraordinary.

The TC and The Depths won out for my Uni-taste.

JAM for core sound. Deja Vibe for this great large speed knob. EQD because it has a 3D effect especially on clean that no other pedal has. I have the JAM but honestly any of those 3 would cut it for me. I bought the JAM one because to me it sounds great and most importantly it sounds the most transparent to me. It sucks less tone that anything else. Again this is to my ears and not necessarily the truth

🦄-😎👍🏿🤘

I have the Unicorn which is legendary! I had the MXR which I got rid of quick as it was super weak and closer to a phaser (no photocell in the MXR), definitely better tones with drive after the uni-vibes in my opinion. Also have a classic amplification Vibe Baby which is as good as it gets...

"What" no shaky Jim¿

Deja Vibe wins - no contest. Pity - I'd have liked a small profile, cheap, readily available pedal to win....

i just wish they were a bit slower

Forget the tc electronic and the mxr. It's not enought, not thick, not deep. Fulltone, eqd, jhs and the rétro jam are the winners ✌️

For Me the Vicious Vibe sounded the best

MXR is very strong . Sold the Deja ... Love the Univibe !

now I wish I hadn’t sold my Deja Vibe

They all sound the best at a specific thing. The VV sounds best clean, MXR sounded best with the Fuzz. Then with the drive the JHS or Depths sounded best. Keep in mind, the VV is a lot cheaper than the others.

All but the MXR sound great on clean tones. The MXR is way too bright and feeble! What a shame... The (digital) TC sounds incredibly well (the best, IMHO) with both fuzz and OD. Sadly, all analog ones sounds very fizzy with fuzz and very feeble with OD. To me, in this video, the MXR is the worst and the TC is the best.

MXR！

So the JAM Retrovibe wasn’t set to the Vibe mode. You were running it in the chorus mode

missing the funky vibe. grrr

I do not like this comparison for the pedals have very different settings: One is faster, the next one slower with lower intensity and so forth. All pots more or less on 12 does not make any sense; they should have been set to their individual sweet spots and the same speed.

JHS hands down for me. Nothing else even came close. MXR and EQD were distant seconds.

Jam Retrovibe by far. Sounds closest to the old units, and it is the only one that sounded right with the fuzz.

The best isn't here. Foxrox Aquavibe.

EQD dead last, completely off.

In the video I prefer: 1- Shin ei univibe 2- kingtone 1968 3- dunlop rotovibe

If you're going to do a shootout, you need to match the speed and intensity across all pedals, otherwise we here the different settings rather than the different pedal timbres. Terrible.

Things that matter: 1. footprint / pedalboard real estate 2. accuracy - clean the driven. 3. extra functionality.. A used TC seems to be a steal, sounds good clean and is small. That said, I hated the fuzzed tones (none sounded great with that) - vibe first! OD was marginally better.. Deja was the most accurate, but large and 2nd most expensive. If you want a small footprint vibe that is accurate, buy the Dry Bell Vibe Machine V2. Nice review.

NOBODY USES VIBE WITH LES PAUL
