Owner's Manual

The 1960s saw immense technical achievements, from the Apollo missions that reached the moon to the invention of the U-915 Shin-Ei Shiftee Uni-Vibe. This effect has been utilised on many classic recordings by artists such as SRV, Robin Trower and Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix was obsessed with sounding like he was underwater, dreaming of underwater guitar tones. The Tube-Vibe pedal is specially designed for undersea trips and dives deep below the surface to explore a whole new world of tonal possibilites, a world of ultra-marine and pink neon.

X-Ray Spex

Tube-Vibe hi-fi chorus and vibrato effect pedal The Tube-Vibe is a no compromise, innovative & original re-design of the classic Uni-Vibe. The pre-amp, mixer and phase-shifters sections are built on triode tubes operating at real amp plate voltages and it has a powerful LFO that makes it possible to sculpt thick, swampy vibe tones at higher modulation rates through to textural & spacious chorus effects at slower rates.

Tube-Vibe hi-fi chorus and vibrato pedal More than an audiophile quality vibe pedal, the Tube-Vibe can be configured for natural, smooth and musical chorusing effects and has an unmatched depth and purity of tone. Want to know more? Then check out these specs and these too or better still test drive one today at your local dealer.

JJ Logo Tube technology delivers staggeringly huge tone and unparalleled flexibility too. In less time than it takes to tune a guitar, Effectrode effects pedals can be easily customized to meet your specific musical requirements by simply changing a tube. For example, simple swap the stock JJ 12AX7 in the Tube-Vibe gain/mixer section for a 12AT7 for increased headroom and lower gain or or try a NOS JAN Philips 12AX7, Mullard ECC83 for a smoother response. JAN Philips Mil-Spec 12AT7 in the phase-shift sections for high reliablity - you decide.

Features

  • All Tube: 100% pure analog vacuum tube audio path for maximum signal integrity and hi-fidelity sound reproduction.
  • True Bypass: All our pedals feature true bypass footswitching with a unique 'anti-pop' circuit to drastically reduce the well known 'click' or 'thump' noise associated with electro-mechanical switching.
  • L.F.O.: Modulation speed is variable from 10Hz right down to D.C. This means it is possible to 'freeze' the notch sweep to create hollow sounding acoustic timbres.
  • Purple L.E.D.: Pulsates with modulation speed for visual song tempo matching.
  • Expression Pedal: Designed to be completely compatible with stock Roland EV-5 and EV-7 control pedals.
  • Wall-Wart: Supplied with switched-mode technology wall-wart power supply adapter for low, low noise.
  • Weight: 2lb on Earth (0.8lbs on Mars)

So, what does it sound like? Outrageously cool! It's absolutely the lushest, most psychedelic sounding guitar pedal there is! One of those devices that epitomise analog with it's unique, slightly blurry, liquid phase-chorused tone, impossible to simulate.

Customer Comments

'Deep, lush and organic to say the least. With overdrive its gets crazy. Its all over my new CD coming out soon. I actually went and re-recorded tracks to get it on there.' Deano George - Deano George Project

'Better than amp vibe! You all know I'd used the Sweet Sound Mojo Vibe for years - this one goes deeper than any I've heard. You can ride the waves in on this one with your guitar as the surfboard.' David Lee - River City Rockets

'It TOTALLY rocks through my modded Traynor. I'm thrilled with the range of tones I'm getting - from subtle chorus to deep Uni-Vibe, cool vibrato, tremolo & phase-like textures. Very nice indeed!' Wayne Eagles

'I've got five other vibes, including the Mojovibe, which is excellent, however the Tube-Vibe has something the others lack. . . more of that haunting feedback as you let a chord ring.' Carl Fiadino - USA
