Univibe Pedal Comparison

In today's demo, we are showcasing the Univibe tones in the R. Weaver FX Violet Vibe, Kingtone Vibe 1968, Sabbadius Funky Vibe, & Sabbadius Tiny Vibe. Listen to each univibe circuit in a band context and soloed on its own. The guitar was plugged straight into the vibe pedalboard (no buffer between the guitar and univibes), which in turn was plugged into the amp's input. We also share some thoughts on each vibe and tips on what you may want to listen for when trying to find the Univibe circuit that best suits your style of playing.
