Behringer 69 Vibe

Usually I hate behringer stuff, but this one looks decent. If it's based on the MXR it's built like a phaser rather than a 'vibe, but will get pretty close to the right sounds.
 
i just got a jam pedal retrovibe, man it sounds awesome, but it was not cheap at all. a few months ago, i went to my local shop and tried every vibe pedal they had. most were ok at best, the fulltone deja vibe was pretty sweet. then i tried the retrovibe... dammit. so much better than all the others. for cheap, this does seem nice though

How can you tell its an MXR clone?

I guarantee Behringer is not putting an optocoupler in a budget pedal. The MXR univibe is actually just a phaser a few tweaks to make it sound like a univibe. I cannot for the life of me remember how they do it, but it is just a Phase 45 with two extra knobs, an extra switch, and two component changes.

When I was modding a small stone to sound like a phaser, it was just a matter of changing capacitor values. Normally the SS uses two pairs of caps of the same value in the circuit which generates an evenly shifted phasing sound. When you change these to values so that they're off by a factor of ten (like 470 pF paired with 4.7 nF) it generates an unbalanced phasing sound that gets pretty close to what a univibe does.
 
I've noticed they also added a Brassmaster clone to the line up, which I find way more interesting.

$70 for volume, gain, and blend? Sign me up

There weren't any special parts inside a Klon- value was purely by internet mystique and rarity.

Then again, over a decade ago, a forum bro, (I can't remember who), loaned me a bonafide original Klon Centaur to try out. I remember it having a sweet, warm distortion. It was probably the closest thing to what I would describe as "woman tone" I've ever heard. (No offense to the gals in the forum.) It was sweet. They got something right.

If the Behringer even comes close, it could be the deal of the century.

I like the sound, too. I built a BYOC Silver Pony kit, which is a pretty respectable clone of the silver Klons.

I built the GeneralGuitarGadgets Klon Klone. But like an idiot, I didn't order the case. The completed circuit board is still sitting in a drawer somewhere. I built it at lunch time at work. I retired early 2016. I gotta get that sucka done. :banghead:
 
I may buy a Behringer 69 Vibe just to see if it's simply a 10:1 phaser or if they've done anything else to it if no one else beats me to it.
