. . . it's pretty fricking awesome.
You just replace the four 0.0068uF capacitors in the circuit (they're the ones next to the op amps, not the .0068 one off of the input) with similar values to those used in the univibe (1nF, 10nF, 470pF, and 4.7nF). I stuck 'em on two DPDT switches to go back and forth between the original values (there's plenty of room at the top of the pedal near the power jack to add switches). The change to the pedal is really nice and does cop a pretty decent univibe sound. It's more liquidy and less overbearing for lead playing than the regular small stone, but I still like the normal values better for reggae/funk type rhythm.
For 30 minutes of soldering/de-soldering this has pretty much quashed my interest in buying a vibe pedal!
