VOODOO LABS MicroVibe or Dunlop UV-1

[OlinMusic]

I was gonna sell my UV-1 to get a Microvibe

Reasons?

The UV1 has a horrible bypass
The UV1 is bulky AND needs it's own adaptor and won't take a battery

any thoughts?

The Micro vibe ia a much better unit IMO but to be hoenst I like the Love Pedal Magic Boy better than both!

The Dunlop sounds better.

True, the 'bypass' is a tone-sucking joke but the overall tone is way hipper. The Micovibe sounds really watered down and 1-dimension in comparison. That's assuming we're talking about the bigger 2-button Dunlop thing...their other Uni-Vibe pedal is really sad, more of a chorus then a vibe.

I actually prefer the sound of my Dunlop to a boutique vibe clone I played. Guitar Center has Voodoo Labs, right? Try one out. Heck buy it then return it within 30 days.

I dunno about your Guitarget's but the three within 40 minutes of me don't stock anything from VooDoo labs besides the Sparkledrive.

I don't know, I try to only go there for strings when I unexpectedly run out. I just remember seeing a Voodoo labs pedal at some point in time.

Micro vibe is true bypass and sounds closer to the original univbe IMHO.

I like the Microvibe better. The Fulltone ones are really my favorite though.
Sometimes I wish I didn't sell my gold Dejavibe to forum member MRID.
If I get another, it's going to be the H&K Rotosphere......a little different, but WAY cool.

Lovepedal Magicboy....
Got an inside trimmer as well....great sound...I am still trying to get a real Univibe though.

Re: VOODOO LABS MicroVibe or Dunlop UV-1

I lean to the Microvibe only because it's true bypass, small, and doesn't clog my whole freakin' board. I don't need the chorus per se, I have a chorus pedal, and I like the Univibe sound for what it is.

I actually like it when subtly used in R&B a la Isley's

I have a Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe pedal and really dig it. Micro Vibe plus Fuzz and the Star Spangled Banner - Way cool. You can also get a great Trower sound out of it. I even set the speed really slow, the intensity low and it gives a nice texure to the sound. Great pedal for the money and the size! I have 3 voodoo Lab pedals.
