Saw an ad in a trade rag today for what looks like a brand new, "standard sized" MXR Univibe pedal. Anyone heard, seen or played one yet? If they aren't on the market yet, my guess is that this will debut at NAMM.

Re: New MXR Univibe pedal
MXR has yet to make a true vibe circuit. Sure, they sound good, but they don't sound like a Uni-Vibe.
Plus, as far as I am aware of, there is only one true Uni-Vibe circuit that is in a Phase 90 enclosure and it costs about $300. I have it and it's amazing but I am 99% sure MXR is just making another tweaked phaser and calling it a Uni-Vibe, much like the recent Hendrix vibe.
I am exited for the new phase 99. Here's a picture:

Re: New MXR Univibe pedal

Re: New MXR Univibe pedal
The new phase 90 size Uni Vibe is a tweaked phaser, in fact it is the JH Uni Vibe w/o the JH paint job.
That said Dunlop did make a true Uni Vibe circuit just not in a tiny box.If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change.

Re: New MXR Univibe pedal
apparently the voodoo labs micro vibe has a real opto-cell driven vibe circuit in a small box...ive often wondered if i should sell off my fulltone and downsize:

Re: New MXR Univibe pedal
that hendrix univibe actually doesn't sound too bad on the proguitarshop demo. Microvibe sounds good to me, too.Comment

Re: New MXR Univibe pedal
Which one was that?Originally posted by the guy who invented fire View Post
I had one for a bit and it's definitely a true univibe. Mine broke after a week and I never got another one, but if I was on a budget and wanted a Univibe that's definitely what I'd get. Plus with top jacks it takes up as much space as a Phase 90.Originally posted by gibson175 View Post
They all sound good, but none of them sound like a univibe. Play a true univibe clone and you'll be able to tell the difference every time you watch a demo of a tweaked phaser purported to be a univibe clone.Originally posted by BrianS. View PostCustom neck-thru strat

I know your just messing around but there is a big difference between a tweaked phaser and a real light and photo cell Uni Vibe...Originally posted by BrianS.

Re: New MXR Univibe pedal
They do have a real light and photo cell circuit and they do sound pretty good. Better than the Fulltone...thats a matter of opinion but they are smaller.Originally posted by gibson175 View Postapparently the voodoo labs micro vibe has a real opto-cell driven vibe circuit in a small box...ive often wondered if i should sell off my fulltone and downsize:
