Univibe-ish pedal reviews

[sooperunkn]

I'm in the market for a Univibe clone. The originals are way out-of-control expensive. I hear the reissues aren't bad but there are others out there that seem to be an improvement. So I think I narrowed my choice down to 2: Fulltone's Mini Deja-Vibe and Sweet Sound's Mojo Vibe. They both look and sound similar but I haven't had a chance to play either of them yet. The Mojo Vibe has one major plus in that it has a jack for an external expression pedal to control the speed with your foot like the original Uni! They're in the some monetary ballpark (~$300). So does anybody have any direct experience with either of these pedals?

The Fulltone blows everything else away, IMO. Check out the DV-2, which has a built in expression control.

I went the Micro Vibe route after seeing Scott_F's comments. Since I don't use a vibe often, that suits my purpose.

both the Fulltone and the Mojo Vibe have very good reviews

The Fulltone is a great pedal if you really want it to sound like a 'vibe pedal. If you're into that Leslie sound, check out the Option 5 Destination Rotation pedal. That thing is sick! They have 'em at musictoyz.com with soundclips.

I sold my Gold Fulltone Deja Vibe to MRID and sometimes wish I hadn't.
I'd say "buy a Fulltone. They have a gold mono, white stereo, mini version, and one with a built in expression pedal. Get the one that fits you pedalboard and suits your needs. Pay the money, they're worth it.

If you want to pay less, the Voodoo Microvibe beats the Dunlop. Plus, they take up less space than most others and don't have that dang cord.
