+1 for Bob Sweet, but it may be hard to score a unit right now. I got the Aquavibe from Foxrox and it does me nice. I also have the CC2 which essentially has the same vibe unit and that has a very nice sweet spot when dialed in.

The other one I would direct you to is from an outfit in New Zealand, which is not necessarily a vibe unit but makes some nice tones is the Red Witch Empress Chorus/Vibrato

I've been very pleased with my custom Luna. Fatback did some videos on YouTube if you want to hear it.

I've never tried one (but I want too). I hear the Option 5 makes a really good vibe.

If it's good enough for Joe Walsh, it must be doing something right.

This is what I use. Korg G4....If you listen to early Gov't Mule you'll get the idea. Very cool "ramping" controls

Angelsmoke, where and when did you score the Korg G4, that's one of the baddest univibe style pedals around.

Bottle,

I was way into Gov't Mule back in 96. It took me a few years to find out what Haynes was using to get that rotary sound. (mainstream Internet was in it's infancy )
But I remember some roadie on the ABB board gave the whole rig setup for Warren back then. I never even knew what the G4 looked like, but one day I walked into a Toronto guitar shop (Songbird Music)...and under the case, there it was. I think I paid 200 bucks used in 1998. I'll never sell the thing.
Very original tone. I'll save to stomp on this sucker later on in my jams. It tends to wake the whole band right up again... :freakout:


The only negative is, it don't like too many pedals in front of it. It gets cranky
