• Fulltone Mini Deja-Vibe

  
  As reviewed by Paul on 6/18/2011

  Been a long time fan of the Univibe effect since I heard Jimi use it (New Rising Sun, Machine Gun) and Robin Trower (Bridge of Sighs, etc) I have had several units and nothing beats the true photo cell circuit. Fulltone just happens to make a great unit using custom manufactured parts and great effort to construct a far better unit than the rather unstable and tone sucking original. It is 2011 not 1970 so applying now to then makes for a great quality and a toneful pedal. The photo cell circuit reacts and interacts with your guitar, amp, and other pedals in ways the tweaked phaser and modeler units simply do not. It's thicker more organic and you can just feel and hear you are playing the real deal. If you're an experienced player who likes the subtle nuances in tone you cannot go wrong w this unit. Having a smaller VL Micro Vibe (is a photocell circuit but does not have vibrato mode or vintage/modern mode like this unit) modified (JHS)will cost you close to this unit and that is your closest runner up to a great vibe pedal. Trower uses this Vibe constantly for many years. Satriani and others from time to time. I wanted one for some time. I am very pleased with the result and how it does sound and feel better than the mimics and newer attempts at tech.

• The 'Vibe for these times

  
  As reviewed by JOHN BLOOM on 8/2/2012

  This unit is excellent! It's much better than I really expected. The Fulltone people went to a lot of trouble to make this good, and it is! Mike Fuller spent a lot of time repairing old UniVibes and he knows them better than probably anyone left. With the DejaVibe, he set out to recreate the old sound with modern materials and components for reliable use at much less expense. this pedal really lives up to its claims, and it's all US made. I'd recommend this highly if you want they classic sound.

• Most elegant Fulltone yet!

  
  As reviewed by PAUL LAROCCA on 1/11/2012

  The Fulltone Univibe is everything it's played up to be-- great tone and headroom. The photocell circuit is the only way to accurately get this sound, and the unit does this in spades. The pulsating LED can also be used to dial in the perfect tempo for the best effect. The "vintage mode" is exceptional in it's beautiful and round sound, and has wonderful clear headroom. The effect is subtle yet effective. The "modern mode" is equally effective and unique since again the photocell circuit is not your typical chorus (chip) sound: analog and very open. Worth every penny!
