Tube-Vibe hi-fidelity uni-vibe effect pedal

guitarist choice award

Tube Drive awarded Guitarist Choice award - August 2008 "The first thing we noticed was the extremely quiet switching and low noise floor. Shattering near silence with that first chord (invevitably something Hendrixy) we then immediately heard the rich, warm tone of the pedal." - Adrian Clarke"

"Incredible tone! Audio quality is significantly better than the original (or modern re-issue) Uni-Vibe." Guitar Buyer Magazine Issue 57 May 2006

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 L.F.O. that makes it possible to sculpt thick, swampy vibe tones at higher modulation rates through to textural & spacious chorus effects at slower rates. The tone is 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. Want to know more? Then check out on-line specs or better still test drive one today at your local dealer.

Features

  • The Tube-Vibe uses vacuum tubes in the phase shifter section for the ultimate in audiophile performance. This ensures low backgound noise and stacks of headroom for wide dynamic range, transparency and hi-fidelity Vibe tones. The Tube-Vibe will integrate seamlessly with your guitar/amp rig to achieve a signature tone that is unsurpassed in detail, depth and richness.
  • High, one megaohm input impedance ensures a wide open and clear tone - your guitar pickup is "seeing" a tube amp input stage. The input resistance of the Uni-Vibe is only 69Kohm which is low enough to load the output of a guitar and dull the sound or cause significant treble loss to single coil pickups.
  • The only vibe with a NCO (Numerically Controlled Oscillator)! Deeper and more powerful than the conventional LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) found on the Uni-Vibe and makes it possible to sculpt thick, swampy vibe tones at higher modulation rates through to dreamy, spacious chorus effects at slower rates.
  • Hyper-bright, daylight visible purple LED pulsates with modulation speed for visual song tempo matching.

Customer Comments

"I picked up a Tube Vibe a few weeks ago and just wanted to say how much I love it! So warm and lush. Using it with an analog delay is heavenly. Sounds like floating on clouds, but can still get that Machine Gun raunch. Great product!" Royce Cho - USA

"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 - Canada

"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

" . . I'm continously amazed, with this tone. One thing that I wanted to tell you that I'm so impressed about, is that how your tube vibe is so effect friendly. The subtleties are truly amazing. This Vibe brings out the true soul of other effects. Thank You so much for taking such care and pride in your creation." Anthony Vangel
