that was your smokinest (is that a word?) vibe demo yet. . .

what's the power supply like? volts? i know it comes with a wall-wort. . . can you use the 1spot?

[jzucker]

it's a 12v power supply tip positive. They said they could easily put an inverter to allow tip negative but it's got a pretty hefty current draw and you'd need a separate supply anyway. The tubes run at 300v.

Sounds like LED's instead of an incandescant bulb for the light source.

Don't know what it uses. I just know it sounds great, feels great and is inspiring to play.

Excellent, exellent Vibe unit. I've been playing a Tube-Vibe for about a month now. It's a different take on the effect, but so far as sound quality, it's the only one that rivals the original in sound quality in my opinion.

I've had mine for about 6 months now. It is one of those that just makes you want to play more and more. A bit costly, but I'll never buy another vibe pedal, ever.

I lusted over it for a few months before a used one popped up on eBay. I can say that it was one of the first pedals that I haven't been disappointed in. Usually, I build them up in my mind listening to clips over and over and I'm let down when they finally arrive. Not so with the Tube-Vibe. It's better in person... it just performs.

Good review. Maybe you could do a follow-up with an expression pedal. I haven't heard anyone do a demo, and I don't have an exp pedal myself.

Did you run the TubeScreamer into the Tube Vibe or after the Tube Vibe?

i always run the OD before the vibe. Not sure why :)
