The TCE ViscousVibe and the Fulltone Deja-Vibe have that crungy whirl of the Hendrix/Trower sound. The others sound good, but the TCE ViscousVibe takes the cake.
Viscous Vibe: Dark, heavy throb. Digital, not photocell. No EXP jack. MXR Uni-Vibe: Noticeably glassy highs. Unicorn v2: Very mid-rangey and aggressive. Has tap tempo and subdivisions control. Retro Vibe: Subtle and round. Kind of a delicate sound. The Depths: Noticeably balanced after fuzz. No Vibrato mode or EXP jack. Mini Deja Vibe Mk. II: Robust-sounding, yet nuanced throb.
Who cares if its digital lol. So are eventide and strymon lol. There are lots of great viscous vibe tone prints from famous guitar players. Its like having 40 vibes in one. Pick a flavour
The Viscous Vibe doesn't take an expression pedal but it does have a "ramp" feature, which speeds up the effect when you hold the soft touch footswitch down...and it slows when the pedal is released. Great univibe pedal; small footprint, solidly built...and with the excellent tone print function!
I currently have the Drybell, Mayer TC Vibe, Kingtone 68 and a modded Voodoo Lab modded by JHS Micro. The modded micro is the one on my main board. Sounds fantastic. Even the stock version sounds good.
I agree on some of the takes. Clean with strat, definitely Deja Vibe or TC. Post LP and Fuzz I think they're all good. With the OD after the vibe, I thought the vintage Deja Vibe was muddy and preferred the Unicorn, but I suspect the modern setting on the Deja Vibe would be closer to the Unicorn. Even though thought the mid clipping was harsh on the Unicorn on this demo, I'm think I'm going to get it since the tap speed is such a cool feature. I can always turn down the tone nob on my Strat if I want to sound more like the Deja Vibe. Suspect you can't go wrong with any of them since they're just one component in a chain. Edit: too much clipping on the Unicorn, getting the Deja Vibe. Like them all though.
I have the Deja Vibe and the Depths both. Anyone that has not tried out The Depths pedal should give it a try, you can do more with it than just use it as a vibe pedal. It’s actually quite fun to use once you understand the controls.
I have the MXR and it just doesn’t really have as much oomph and wobble as I would like. I was surprised the Jam and Fulltone didn’t blow me away like I thought they would. I really dug the T. C. That thing was pretty epic to my taste in Univibe sounds.
I have one of those too. It really shines with a himbucker guitar and a cranked amp. I'm going tonbuy either a jhs or fulltime for more classic tones and keep the mxr for more subtle uses
I bought the MXR by Dunlop do to price and availability , i use an OCD pedal , a Clapton Strat , a 65 Fender Deluxe reverb amp and I can sound like Trower or Hendrix . Well Pretty Much
Amazingly, the MXR is about the cheapest pedal in this comparison, and sounds the best. I've had the TC, way too fast without a toneprint. The Earthquaker just didn't cut through the mix, also too many controls. I would like to try the Fulltone, though here its been dialed in faster than the others.
Most of them don't sound like a univibe, only the Fulltone has that soupyness. Would be nice to see this again with the Vibe Machine V2, Foxrox and Moen Jimi Nova vs the Korg Reissue.
The newish Kingtone 68 is really tweaking my ears Actually two vibes in one as well Original Uni Vibes had a pre amp in them too I'm actually shopping for one myself so really checking all these out Jam pedals and Kingtone 68 so far at the top of the heap The clones of the original are great but too bulky for something I'm not going to run all the time Thanks for the input
What you actually mean is that they sound LIKE univibes but none of them completely nail the real sound and texture. That's also true of most Fender Strats.
@@lightningstrikes7314 Too many people looking for that OG sound they better buy the OG then cause someone always has to say too glassy too throbby or it don't sound like a univibe.
I've owned many univibe pedals. My favorite is the Jam Pedals Retro Vibe mk.2, which is the one in this demo. It has an internal trem pot that controls how intense the effect is. From barley there to Hendrix/Trower style heave univibe sound.
This demo must have the trim set to "barely there". It's the best Vibe I've played. EHX Good Vibes is underrated but needs to be powered with a 9.6-9.7v adapter supplied with the unit. If you don't mind that it's my second fave, Danelectro Cool Cat and The Depths tied for third. CC is basic and sounds legit vintage, Depths is super versatile and tweakable. It's like a heavily modified 2-stage phaser.
@ted...don't discount the Dawner Prince Viberator, I bought it over the Drybell, although the jam pedal is pretty spot on (I couldn't access it to directly compare). Cheers. 🎸
@@nostro1001 thanks for the suggestion. I listened to some demos and it sounds pretty spot on with the drybell and they're both made in Croatia and have similar size/controls. Are they the same thing? If not they're very similar to my ears
@@demian113 They are indeed very similar, but apparently two different builders. Go figure that both are Croatian and both so similar. Unsure if there's more than just a coincidence or merely uncanny. Cheers. 🎸🎸🎸
I own/owned 3 of these pedals: MXR, Viscous Vibe & The Depths. The Depths is currently on my board as it sounds much closer to a Univibe because of the photocell inside and it handles dirt very well. The Viscous Vibe is a good digital vibe and the toneprint opens up an array of different options which makes it versatile. But the MXR I ended up selling because it sounded like a very bad phaser when in hi-gain/distortion and almost useless if not in clean.
the mxr is a joke. it even has a gap in the speed-knob. I mean i wanted to dial my favorite speed i have on another vibe pedal and couldn't get it, because it was too slow in one position and when i moved the knob 1 mm further it was too fast. who designs such crap? Viscouse Vibe is ass too. needs like 1 or 2 seconds to switch off when you already pressed the switch.
With the TC and MXR up front, and the legit lamp vibes later, you can hear the basic difference between sims and the real thing.The Depths is known for being different, with a cleaner EQ ,and lack of some of the syrupy pulse. Lovepedal make a decent photo cell that is def a contender.The Unicorn is one of the few legit Vibes that can be found under $300.
Did you know that Shin-ei is making them again? The original ones that Jimi used. Not in Japan anymore, here in the US in Austin Texas. They make the Vibe Bro and Vibe 2. How about testing them out against these? Seems not many know that Shin-ei is around again.
Ah thanks for this demo... shopping for Vibes and the Kingtone seems to be two units in one w ramping capabilities and pedal board friendly as well...Ah so it wasn't in this demo but these sure sound good So I'm thinking there has been a bunch of vibes since this came out Maybe a follow up ?
I do not like this comparison for the pedals have very different settings: One is faster, the next one slower with lower intensity and so forth. All pots more or less on 12 does not make any sense; they should have been set to their individual sweet spots and the same speed.
Whelp, lots to say...... I guess first, never listen to one UA-cam video demo to make a decision...... listen to lots of them. Some people's playing style suit different nuances in the vibe genre and it can be confusing. Second, many people commenting have never actually had the opportunity to play and hear an original Univibe and so the conversation gets really varied. Some people like more treble, or this or that, or they get stuck on an idea or a name like one of the early boutique clones ..... Fulltone, Mojotone, Sweet Sound etc etc. ...... I have been lucky to own for many years an outstanding, really strong sounding 1969 original Shin Ei Univibe and I have had most of the clones along the years. Starting with a Deja Vibe, serial number under #75! It was great very Trower and phasey but not as much Machine Gun. .... Subsequent Deja's just were missing something..... Great but not quite there. Cut to the chase, for years the best I've had was a MJM Custom Shop 60's Vibe, . ... side by side VERY close to my original. A builder has to source out and use some key NOS components to get there. Currently I must say that the top of the heap is the JAM PEDALS Retrovibe! I don't know what they're doing there in Greece but this guy has nailed the sound, the vibe, the swing, and throb. So many over accentuate the throb when you turn up the depth to the point where it's too hard of a thump. It's over compensation for something lacking. A killer UniVibe sound is SO nuanced that it's insane. That's why so many people continue to try. A good one sounds Big and deep, without sounding overdone. Open and dynamic. So many clones sound really clever but small and narrow especially with drive. My original when hit with a fuzz or drive stays big and open. It's uncanny, and it's the difference.
I prefer the mxr. Fulltone and JAM don't worth their double price. If you want to go the extra mile you need to put some monwy on top and have the Tinslwy audio or R weaver or Sabbadius
They all sound the best at a specific thing. The VV sounds best clean, MXR sounded best with the Fuzz. Then with the drive the JHS or Depths sounded best. Keep in mind, the VV is a lot cheaper than the others.
I have the Unicorn which is legendary! I had the MXR which I got rid of quick as it was super weak and closer to a phaser (no photocell in the MXR), definitely better tones with drive after the uni-vibes in my opinion. Also have a classic amplification Vibe Baby which is as good as it gets...
I had the MXR too and sold it. It sounded very "fizzy" when played with distortion and not enough depth to it. I bought the TC and it's been on my board ever since
JAM for core sound. Deja Vibe for this great large speed knob. EQD because it has a 3D effect especially on clean that no other pedal has. I have the JAM but honestly any of those 3 would cut it for me. I bought the JAM one because to me it sounds great and most importantly it sounds the most transparent to me. It sucks less tone that anything else. Again this is to my ears and not necessarily the truth
Hello there. For the Intro Jam it actually was all six pedals in the following order: 1. TC Electronic - Viscous Vibe 2. MXR-M68 3. JHS-Unicorn V2 4. Jam Pedals - Retro Vibe Mk 2 5. EarthQuaker Devices-The Depths V2 6. Fulltone - Mini Deja Vibe Mk2 I hope this helps you to narrow down your favorite pedal. :)
All but the MXR sound great on clean tones. The MXR is way too bright and feeble! What a shame... The (digital) TC sounds incredibly well (the best, IMHO) with both fuzz and OD. Sadly, all analog ones sounds very fizzy with fuzz and very feeble with OD. To me, in this video, the MXR is the worst and the TC is the best.
If you're going to do a shootout, you need to match the speed and intensity across all pedals, otherwise we here the different settings rather than the different pedal timbres. Terrible.
Things that matter: 1. footprint / pedalboard real estate 2. accuracy - clean the driven. 3. extra functionality.. A used TC seems to be a steal, sounds good clean and is small. That said, I hated the fuzzed tones (none sounded great with that) - vibe first! OD was marginally better.. Deja was the most accurate, but large and 2nd most expensive. If you want a small footprint vibe that is accurate, buy the Dry Bell Vibe Machine V2. Nice review.
100% this. It's pricey but it kicks even Deja Vibe in the curb. EDIT: I have to add that FoxRox as a manufacturer is beyond amazing. Best analog octaver in the world, too.

Deja Vibe to my ears is the winner! Most authentic...
That was a really really well executed shoot out. Thanks for that. The Deja-Vibe for me. The Viscous vibe second.
Just the no talking is A+, and the rest is bonus! Many many thanks!
I m bias, cause I have the depths by earthquaker on my board. I find it works as chorus, slight phaser, and univibe. I love it
This is one of the best pedal comparison videos I've ever seen. Both thorough and utilitarian. Thanks for that! Cheers 🤘😷
The TCE ViscousVibe and the Fulltone Deja-Vibe have that crungy whirl of the Hendrix/Trower sound. The others sound good, but the TCE ViscousVibe takes the cake.
this pedal is ass, it takes like 1 or 2 seconds to switch off when you already pressed the switch. returned it on the spot.
Agree
@@iommiclife794 You can turn that lamp trailing function off easily. Read the manual.

Even better with tone prints
I have the fulltone Deja vibe and Electro Harmonix good Vibes both very Authentic
Excellent vid, same settings, same riff and no talking. Good help in deciding which to choose.

Jam Pedals Retrovibe v2 and v3 are utterly extraordinary.

Deja Vibe wins - no contest.
Pity - I'd have liked a small profile, cheap, readily available pedal to win....
Excellent Video Guitar Bonedo Thank You !
Which Viscous toneprint was used?
Am I crazy or does the Unicorn sound fuller/have more deep end in person?
It sounds pretty thin in the video
Can you compare these to the new Uni-Verb by JRockett pedals? Need an honest assessment.
What is the intro pedal(s). Exactly the sound i’m looking for
i just wish they were a bit slower
nice intro!
Forget the tc electronic and the mxr. It's not enought, not thick, not deep. Fulltone, eqd, jhs and the rétro jam are the winners ✌️
Lol ok……..🥸
The TC and The Depths won out for my Uni-taste.
MXR is very strong . Sold the Deja ... Love the Univibe !
JAM for core sound. Deja Vibe for this great large speed knob. EQD because it has a 3D effect especially on clean that no other pedal has. I have the JAM but honestly any of those 3 would cut it for me. I bought the JAM one because to me it sounds great and most importantly it sounds the most transparent to me.

5. EarthQuaker Devices-The Depths V2

@@GuitarBonedo Thanks a bunch, to me the mxr univibe sounded the best.
YOU ARE MISSING ONE OF THE BEST EVER MADE...THE SWEET SOUND ULTRA VIBE!!!
"What" no shaky Jim¿
Agreed. A good-sounding pedal at a right price!

You nailed it 👍
No expression pedal input kills the TC for me. If it had it, would be my first choice, even though it's not a "real" univibe.
Hello backing track please thanks for vids
Backing track? No thanks. This is a pedal sound comparison not a backing track distraction.
So the JAM Retrovibe wasn’t set to the Vibe mode. You were running it in the chorus mode
None of them with the option were on Vibrato. The classic Univibe sound is in chorus mode.
Look at the classic amplification cv2 good pedal
now I wish I hadn’t sold my Deja Vibe
If you're going to do a shootout, you need to match the speed and intensity across all pedals, otherwise we here the different settings rather than the different pedal timbres. Terrible.
JHS hands down for me. Nothing else even came close. MXR and EQD were distant seconds.
Lol
🦄-😎👍🏿🤘
MXR
MXR！
Jam Retrovibe by far. Sounds closest to the old units, and it is the only one that sounded right with the fuzz.
missing the funky vibe. grrr
Things that matter:
1. footprint / pedalboard real estate
2. accuracy - clean the driven.

The best isn't here. Foxrox Aquavibe.
100% this. It's pricey but it kicks even Deja Vibe in the curb.
EDIT: I have to add that FoxRox as a manufacturer is beyond amazing. Best analog octaver in the world, too.
In the video I prefer:
1- Shin ei univibe
2- kingtone 1968
3- dunlop rotovibe
